The 5QT Presents: The Five Black Pills, Part 1 — Feminism – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not going to try to call this column a Five Quick Things. Usually these entries fail the title test, and this one will fail egregiously. It isn’t a Five Quick Things; in fact, done correctly, it’s a book. It might be a book I’ll write. There is so much here which ought to be said that it could well be a really good book. I’m calling the entries that follow the Five Black Pills, but they’re really more like separate buckets of discontent with the pills floating at the top. The items I’m highl

Catch up on the whole series, read past episodes, and find links to ev
In Full Support of Flock Cameras… at the Wisconsin State Fair – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cool Hand Luke came out a bit before my time, and while I’ve watched it a handful of times, I can’t say I really understood it. Maybe there wasn’t much to understand. Paul Newman’s character was sold as something of an iconoclastic Everyman, a guy who’d decided he’d had enough of society and wasn’t going to take any more. To me, he just came off as a stupid criminal. The sin which put the movie’s protagonist in prison was that he was cutting the heads off parking meters. That’s kind of a funny t
