NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE COLUMNS
Overreaching Autocrat
May 30, 2007 -- Hugo Chavez abolishes freedom of the press to
stop the spread of soap operas. MORE...
Free Speech Is Not Peripheral
May 25, 2007 -- America has made many sacrifices in the spread of
democracy and freedom and to combat extremism and oppression,
but there is no freedom without a free press. Our efforts at promoting
freedom are inextricably linked to the success of free speech in
oppressive nations. MORE...
A Clash of Demonstrations
Feb. 12, 2007 -- The immigration protest has gone Hollywood --
complete with superheroes, villains, and furry cartoon dinosaurs.
MORE...
Looking Down at the Marble Ceiling
Feb. 7, 2007 -- Rather than being some great boon for feminism, this
campaign is looking like a giant step backward for women,
trumpeting the assumption that women are so politically dense as to
vote primarily on the basis of XX chromosomes. MORE...
Iraq 101
Jan. 18, 2007 -- Shouldn't there be some sort of "Iraq for Dummies"
guide that easily shoots down the nonsensical claims pushed by the
antiwar left and swallowed by the gullible middle? Now there is!
MORE...
Chavez Swallows a Nation
Jan. 9, 2007 -- Hugo Chavez embarks on another term as
Venezuela's cartoonish Commie leader, in a celebration assured to
be so awash in trademark Hugo red it will look like the Hallmark
Valentine aisle invaded Caracas. MORE...
Don't Stop the Presses
Jan. 2, 2007 -- The United Nations passes another meaningless
resolution, this time telling people it's not OK to kill journalists. MORE...
I Resolve...
Dec. 27, 2006 -- to tick off Chavez, get Kofi a real job, make Kim
Jong Il go bald.... MORE....
'Twas the Night Before 2007
Dec. 21, 2006 -- A political Christmas poem! MORE...
Wiping Away History
Dec. 12, 2006 -- If you're going to host a conference to study the
Holocaust, the first person you should invite is the guy who would
march about decked out in swastikas in college and throw parties to
celebrate Hitler's birthday, right? MORE...
Don't Despair
Nov. 22, 2006 -- One may wonder, what is there to be thankful for
this Turkey Day? It's like signs of the apocalypse are knocking on the
screen door (not to mention your relatives) and we're supposed to
just dig into the cranberry sauce. MORE...
The Left Coast's Right
Nov. 8, 2006 -- Although it is one of the most beautiful states in the
union -- okay, the most beautiful -- California is nothing but ugly in the
eyes of conservative America. MORE...
Internet Dependency
Oct. 11, 2006 -- I wonder what I did before the Internet age caught up
with technologically-stunted newsrooms. I think I called people.
MORE...
Twist-Tied in L.A.
Sept. 29, 2006 -- It was billed as the biggest act of civil
disobedience in Los Angeles history -- rivaled only by Californians'
defiant use of appliances during peak hours back in the days of the
energy crisis. In reality, it was street theater in three acts with a
confusing plotline. MORE...
The Not-So-'Great Labor March'
Sept. 5, 2006 -- If it weren't for the far-left politics and the whining,
this weekend's immigration protests would have been worth it just for
the food. MORE...
Karr None
Aug. 29, 2006 -- After a ridiculous two-week-long media circus with
wannabe JonBenet killer John Mark Karr, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens
is livid, the Boulder district attorney's office is trying to backpedal at
full speed, and the world knows more than it ever needed to about
this voluntary false confessor. MORE...
Protest Crasher
Aug. 14, 2006 -- What, I wondered, would it be like to slip into a lefty
demonstration under the radar, Ã la Vince Vaughn and Owen
Wilson, to see the lefties in their natural habitat, un-freaked by
lingering righties? MORE...
Chavez Cheers: Don't let the tears fool you
Aug. 1, 2006 -- As much as they've snuggled and back-patted, as
much as they act like dysfunctional father and bratty son, the death of
the linchpin of Latin American Communism will probably be the best
news Hugo Chavez has gotten. MORE...
Bibi Was Right
July 21, 2006 -- The prophecies of Israel's former prime minister
Benjamin Netanyahu have come to fruition, and proponents of the
Gaza Strip pullout have a lot to answer for. MORE...
It Takes One to Terrorize
July 6, 2006 -- Ever since the June 25 kidnapping of Israeli Cpl.
Gilad Shalit -- and the abduction and murder of 18-year-old Eliyahu
Asheri in the West Bank --Israel has been poised to open a can of
whup-ass on the Gaza Strip. MORE...
MSM Hostage
June 20, 2006 -- It sometimes seems to me that it would be easier to
invite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a bar mitzvah than to defend the
press to fellow conservatives. MORE...
Confessions of an 'Idol' Addict
May 25, 2006 -- When it comes to confessions of reality TV junkies, I
have had enough programming addictions to warrant a lifetime of
12-step programs. MORE...

"The World's Most Dangerous Places." MORE...
I admit it: I'm a warmonger
April 6, 2006 -- The antiwar left has got my number, all right. So let's
just go with the flow and plot future invasions. MORE...
Lucky for the Irish
March 17, 2006 -- In this age of multiculturalism, St. Paddy's Day
reminds everyone from schoolkids to recent immigrants that the Irish
aren't just another pale face. MORE...
The 'Van Gogh Effect'
March 3, 2006 -- Much of Hollywood asks, why should I make a film
that angers Islamists, just to end up like Theo van Gogh? MORE...
Going South
Dec. 21, 2005 -- Spend a few minutes on the border with the
Minutemen. MORE...
Christmas in the Newsroom
Dec. 22, 2005 --News, or no news, it's just another dysfunctional
family gathering. MORE...
Hollywood on the Tigris
Nov. 3, 2005 -- Saddam can't strangle (or worse) filmmakers
anymore. MORE...
Heads in the Sand
Oct. 20, 2005 -- Americans need to wake up and smell the crisis in
Iran. Iranians need us to. MORE..
Overreaching Autocrat
