Mollie Hemingway has written (way back in October) a piece in the Federalist about what she calls “The War on Advent.” Besides having the makings of a holiday classic, it makes a fine introduction to this all-but-forgotten season. (more…) Read more

Young people are getting better

We old fogies are always complaining about “the younger generation.” But today’s teenagers and young adults actually have a much better record than their peers from the past (including when we old fogies were young fogies). Crime rates, promiscuity, substance abuse, bullying, and suicide rates among young people are way, way down. (Any ideas why that might be?) (more…) Read more

Death comes to a mystery writer

Last updated on: November 30, 2014 at 5:17 pm By Gene Veith

The British mystery writer P. D. James has died at age 94. She took a popular conventional genre, the mystery story, and brought to it her gifts as a serious literary novelist. Drawing on her work in a police forensics unit, she perfected the “police procedural” in novels of gritty realism and psychological depth. She was also a Christian who said that the final revelation of a mystery story is analogous to Judgment Day. A good place to begin with... Read more

It won’t be released until about this time next year–December 15, 2015–but a trailer has been released for Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Returns. The movie will pick up the story of the galaxy far, far away beginning 30 years AFTER Return of the Jedi. It will feature some of the same actors, 30 years older, who starred in that 1983 masterpiece, including Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Hans Solo, and Carry Fisher as Leia. The...

Party riots

An essay in the Washington Post about the non-spontaneous riots in Ferguson, Missouri, included a digression on another kind of uprising: the “party riot,” what some college students do when they lose or win a big game or what breaks out at Mardi Gras or other festivals when revellers just want to have a good time.

Eco-imperialism

Last updated on: November 27, 2014 at 5:36 pm By Gene Veith

Japan, where people enjoy a good cut of whale, is pushing back against international anti-whaling rules, which are allegedly nothing more than “eco-imperialism.” According to the Japanese, it would be as if people in India who believe cattle are sacred would impose punishments on nations that eat beef. Notice how the various sensitivities we are supposed to have–honoring cultural relativism, respecting the environment, not oppressing anyone, being tolerant of eveyone’s practices and beliefs–can be set against each other. Can you... Read more

Carly Fiorina for president?

Last updated on: November 27, 2014 at 5:37 pm By Gene Veith

0 Comments

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carla Fiorina is starting a run for the Republican presidential nomination. She is pro-life, fiscally-conservative, and of the female persuasion. Then again, she has never held public office and her tenure at Hewlett-Packard was not completely successful. Still, maybe she could give Hillary Clinton a run for the money. What do you think about a Carla Fiorina candidacy? (more…) Read more

A holiday for adults

Last updated on: November 25, 2014 at 8:33 pm By Gene Veith

Folklorist Jack Santino observes that Thanksgiving is pretty much the only national holiday that hasn’t shifted its focus to children. In fact, they are often shunted off to the “kids’ table.” The emphasis instead is on grandparents, patriarchs and matriarchs, family traditions going back for generations, and blessings that adults are in the best position to savor.
