Me on Mamet – Again.

April 21, 2013 Culture

I’ve written about the playwright and screenwriter David Mamet a number of times now, first in the Los Angeles Times, then in the Wall Street Journal. I don’t intend to make a career of it, but I do have one more piece about him on the Front Page website – a study of how the [...]

Booklist: “Klavan Writes Good Books, Damn Him!”

November 4, 2012 Books

Another pre-publication review for If We Survive. This one from the trade publication Booklist. If I read this one correctly, it translates to: “Beware!

When the Revolution’s Over

October 11, 2010 Culture

Last week, my friend John Nolte of Big Hollywood fame did one of his classic take-downs of an hysterical leftist reviewer, some doof who went ape over the new family film Secretariat.  To read the fearsome Noltenator at his Texas Chainsaw best, go here.

The Mount Vernon Statement

February 18, 2010 politics

Yeah, this is good, very good.  I especially like this passage, a bit of much-needed taking the plank out of our own eyes: “A Constitutional conservatism unites all conservatives through the natural fusion provided by American principles. It reminds economic conservatives that morality is essential to limited government, social conservatives that unlimited government is a [...]
