Notice That Your Boss Is More of An Asshole Than Ever? Here’s Why

Part of the genius behind NBC’s famous and now classic sitcom The Office was the character development that moved the audience to engage in an identity investigation of actor Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. As the head of Dunder Mifflin Scranton, Scott’s decisions in his love life, intra-office relations and even just plain business were often…

Film Review: Fatima (2020)

It must be admitted–albeit reluctantly–that film is an elusive media for the things I hold most dear; namely, Catholicism and the liberty movement. Catholic faith-based films, often in spite of some sizable budgets, come off as overly saccharine, inauthentic and corny. Liberty themed films usually meet the same fate. There are exceptions of course. Mel…

Film Review: Mr. Jones (2019)

The central character in Agnieszka Holland’s riveting account of the Ukrainian Holodomor is pursued by intrepid journalist Gareth Jones but the desired interviewee nonetheless never makes a genuine appearance.

I heroically took the PRO side in a debate against my brilliant students on the resolution: The so-called “Robber Barons” were malevolent crooks who bilked the American public to get rich. Well, that did not go well–and I lost! Hear it all here.      

Gaffigan, Davis and Grace Resplendent in ‘Troop Zero’

She’s not Dorothy. She’s nowhere near Oz. And, she wears red, plastic boots instead of bedazzled slippers. One more thing: Christmas Flint is also a greater heroine. I resist writing movie reviews–of even a brief kind; namely because we all know what we tend to do with such recommendations–forget about them moments after they’re uttered.…

Frédéric Bastiat and the State-breakers

Brilliant. Consistent. Principled. As a true liberal or libertarian of today’s stripes, Frédéric Bastiat warred against the state in 19th France wherein there were few allies for him to find. He was to liberty what Jimmy Hendrix was to American rock-and-roll; a virtuoso who died way too young. Still, he lives on though his masterpieces.…
