Hyper expansion of craft beer, due to an ever increasing consumer demand, has blurred the genres that categorize these quality beers. I’m going to pontificate in this here little beer censure specifically about the new India Pale Ale (IPA) genre now popularly known as ‘Session IPAs’. IPA’s, and American Pale Ales, or APA’s, are actually…
What Hath Liberalism Wrought?
Compare and contrast: An illegal immigrant couple with six children were already living in poverty. Then the quadruplets arrived. They’re still in a daze. Girl, 12, beats Einstein and Stephen Hawking to get top score in IQ test Let’s review the bidding here, shall we? Angela Magdaleno is an illegal alien, living in poverty, with…
The Miracle of Israel In Two Great Films
With anti-Semitism exploding across the globe, on our campuses and incredibly within the Democrat Party itself (once the bastion of pro-Israeli sentiment) at levels not seen perhaps since the 1930’s in Germany – and with the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon and all that goes with it now virtually assured, a little light amidst the…
The Iron Fist Comes Draped, Not In a Velvet Glove But a Black Robe.
Last June, Justice Anthony Kennedy fired a damaging, if not fatal, salvo into the already enfeebled 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Whatever one thinks about the institution of marriage, homosexuality or religion, the right to express and practice one’s religion as he or she chooses is an inalienable one that no court or government can take…
Abrogating Responsibility (an ongoing series?)

Dear Chick At The Bar
I am sure that your hair stylist told you that strategic tossing of your long hair was sexy and would make the guys who drive Porsches hot for you. Unfortunately the advice was sub-optimal, because I do not drive a Porsche, I do not find you attractive, and after the fifth time your hair brushed…
Yep, the VA is still a failure

Namely that nearly 1/3 of the 850,000 people waiting to get on the waiting list died before their applications were processed. So…
Extra! Brave Artist Takes On World’s Greatest Evil!
On the northwest corner of Houston Street and the Bowery in what is now Manhattan’s hipster central, you’ll find a wall that is the site for a rotating display of murals. Living in the area, I walk by at least once a week on the way to shop at the Whole Paycheck that sits kitty-corner to…
What Could Go Wrong?
DHS grants temporary legal status to Yemeni citizens Beautiful. The Obama administration Thursday announced it will grant legal status and halt deportations for potentially thousands of citizens of Yemen, saying the security situation on the ground there is so bad that the U.S. has a moral obligation to protect people. But apparently no moral obligation…
“Take that, Bibi”
More Self-Inflicted Wounds Periodically the MSM break cover and let their true colors show. A case in point: So that brings me to the real self-inflicted wound, which was a tweet by PBS NewsHour co-anchor Gwen Ifill on Wednesday—after it became known that President Obama had secured the necessary number of Democratic backers in the…
