For the first time since Lord North in 1782, the British House of Commons has denied a prime minister the authority to enter a war. That it is a “war” proposed by Barack Obama of the United States is testament to how far the U.S. has fallen.
If you had to point to a single moment in which it began to become possible for a black man to be elected President of the United States, you would have to say it was in the afternoon of August 28, 1963.
It goes almost without saying that if three white adolescents killed a young black man and cited “boredom” and “the fun of it” as justification, the outcry from the media, left-leaning pundits and the professional race industry would be deafening.

If Texas were a separate nation, it would be the 12th largest oil producing nation in the world, only slightly behind Venezuela and Kuwait. In just two and half years, Texas oil production has doubled and Texas is now on a pace to produce more oil than it did in the peak years of the 1970s.

When I was a young man trying to break in to the radio business, one of the biggest radio stations in the country was Dallas's KLIF 1190 AM.
The station was owned by broadcasting pioneer Gordon McLendon. McLendon was known for his sharply-written editorials. Those editorials were, however, a one-way street. There was no practical way for the listener to respond.
