It’s a Mad, Mad, Madison World

February 21, 2011 politics

I’m working both on writing a new novel for adults and preparing a final draft of my new young adult novel – plus turning out my Klavan on the Culture segments for PJTV – plus other stuff, so if it seems I’m blogging less – and less extensively – on culture and politics, it’s true, [...]

Great Video: The Socialist

October 14, 2010 Videos

No Klavan on the Culture this week but here’s a wonderful video from Ben Howe.  Obama’s first two years in office reduced to a two minute trailer ala The Social Network.  Great stuff:

Happy Memorial Day

May 31, 2010 politics

I’m taking the day off so there’s no Monday column this week.  Have a great day.  Give a thought to the people who make it possible–especially because, as of this writing, their commander-in-chief will reportedly not be visiting Arlington Cemetery to pay tribute to them.   But then, hey, why should he pay tribute to them?  [...]

Absurd Narrative of the Week

April 21, 2010 politics

We’ll give this much-coveted prize to a piece by Mike Allen and James Hohmann over at Politico though to be fair, I’ve heard it all over and they’re just channeling Beltway “wisdom.”  Which is one of those words like “reform,” that so often means the exact opposite of what, in fact, it means.

Most Telling Exchange of the Week

April 14, 2010 politics

My State of the Union

January 27, 2010 politics

The good and wise people at David Horowitz’s Front Page Magazine have asked a number of serious, intelligent and important people to suggest what President Obama might say in his State of the Union address.  Then, for some reason, they asked me.  Just to show the O-Man there are no hard feelings about the whole [...]

Our News Media, The Temple Priests

January 21, 2010 Culture

An interesting collision of influences yesterday led me to a fresh, if somewhat offbeat, view of our current politics.  Exulting in Massachusetts’ repudiation of Obama’s socialist agenda, I went off to see the fun new film The Book of Eli, then returned home to enjoy Andrew Breitbart’s Big Hollywood and Big Journalism websites with their [...]
