In my latest Spectator column, I explore whether Jim Webb might be a good running mate for Barack Obama.
Over at Taki's Magazine, I celebrate antiwar Republican Congressman Walter Jones's primary victory over a pro-war candidate.
A number of writing projects I've been working on should (hopefully) start appearing in print next week, so check back for self-promotional updates.
Dear Wendy's,
I very much like your Baconator cheeseburger. But I like it best when the bacon is actually cooked. Can we work on providing bacon that isn't as cold as a Frosty and as chewy as a rubber band, detracting from the overall cheeseburger goodness? Millions of would-be artery cloggers and waistline expanders all across America would thank you.
Best,
Jim

You can watch me in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network here and giving a more inspired performance on The Andrea Shea-King Show here. On both shows, I'm discussing the Democratic presidential race after Indiana and North Carolina.
Scott McConnell dissuades me from becoming obsessed with politics.
My latest Spectator column is about another crusading attorney general who has been tripped up by zipper problems. I take a look at how the Marc Dann scandal affects Ohio politics.
Christian Solidarity International is revving up a campaign to help Iraqi Christians, who have been devastated by the aftermath of the war in Iraq. As I pointed out on my personal blog (an obnoxious thing to do, I know, but I'm desperate to get a "trackback"!):
One of the most tragic of the many victims of the Iraq war has been the Christian community. It has been decimated, with up to half of the pre-war Christian population being forced into exile, many in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Christian Solidarity International is sponsoring a campaign called Save Iraqi Christians and is hoping to collect 100,000 internet signatures on behalf of this beleaguered community. Your support could prove to be the first step in righting the great wrong that has been done to Iraqi Christians.
My latest Spectator column is about the Constitution Party's decision to nominate Chuck Baldwin and the rise and fall of Alan Keyes.
I make the case on antiwar.com that John McCain is a warmonger, one largely oblivious to the human cost of his proposed policies. The Democrats aren't much as an alternative, but at least Barack Obama got Iraq right from the start. And he seems to have at least a little reticence about running around the world bombing and invading at will. The same can't be said of Hillary Clinton, who backed the utterly unnecessary war against Serbia over Kosovo, and who has confused Israel's and America's interest by threatening to "obliterate" Iran if it attacks Israel. But even she doesn't seem to be ready to attack North Korea or confront China and Russia, all targets of John McCain's ire! Read the full argument in my column on antiwar.com.
