A few weeks ago, I found myself at the magnificent Broadmoor
resort in Colorado Springs. I was moderating a panel of three
former SEC chairmen about the economy. It was a fascinating
session, as you would expect it would be. But one comment in ...
TUESDAY
I am getting pretty worried. For about six months now, I have had
maddening shortness of breath. It comes and goes. Sometimes I
don't have it for weeks, and then it comes back. Sometimes it
responds to antibiotics and sometimes it doesn't. ...
So, the ACLU is at it again. They are suing to take down a cross
on a huge public swath of desert in Southern California. The
cross is a memorial to Americans who died in war. It has been
there for decades although now it's wrapped up in a box. As ...
As you are reading this, the high school I attended, Montgomery
Blair, in Silver Spring, Maryland, is having its 75th anniversary
celebration. We are honoring some famous grads, including Goldie
Hawn, the actress, Connie Chung, the TV journalist, ...

Africa, for our son's Hindu wedding. Of course, ...
As a 64-year-old, lifelong fiscal conservative and Republican
since Nixon, may I humbly thank you? In the eight months or so
since you took office, you have succeeded in reviving a party,
the GOP, that many had left for dead.
1) You have named men ...
Another glorious day in Sandpoint, Idaho. My wife has broken her
ankle so my pal Phil DeMuth is keeping me company at our home up
here. I awakened and, as usual, said the Shema, a Jewish prayer
of thanks to God. Then I turned to my e-mails. There ...
My sister nailed it many years ago when she said, "Your basic
human is not such a hot item."
Keep that filed in your head as I tell my little tale.
About five or six years ago, roughly, I was solicited to write a
column every two weeks for the Sunday ...
John Hughes was a stunningly talented director, a wildly funny
writer, a great friend, a Republican in a town where being a
Republican takes some courage. But most of all, he was a poet. He
was to the postwar middle class white kid what John Keats ...
