Thanks, thackney. And as long as this is mentioned, let me share with you all, something: I have been going through a core-level depression, what with the events that have unfolded in the last 4 years, November 6th especially. To see my country placed on life support for it's eventual demise has been exceedingly difficult for me.
It has made it impossible to write anything besides funeral durges, and I think we've all had enough of those.
So, I have not been writing, until I feel a little more hope -- IF I feel a little more hope -- about the future.
I enjoy reading Sowell’s work. Anyone can explain complex concepts, but to explain them in simple terms is a gift that few have.
Malkin is by far my favorite. She is very intelligent, can think on her feet, and has something none of the other columnists have....she is HOT!!!
We might burn, but will rise from our own ashes.
Write that, it IS the future.
I would also add two columnists at the WSJ - Kim Strassel and Mary Anastasia O'Grady - somewhere on the list.
rejoice in the bs that this world is offering to those who have no hope, knowing that God has better things for those who seek Him...
John 16:33
David Limbaugh belongs in there as well, IMO.
RE: John 16:33
How about the talk show and TV host who keeps saying: “Let not your hearts be troubled”?
Thank you, thackney.
John 16:33
New International Version (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Interesting angle. And I have another.
That is John 14:1 and 14:27.
The later is my preference.
Mark Steyn is absolutely the best. Noone else is even close. Sorry Laz. :-) You’re good too, but Mark is in a league all his own.
I am with you Laz... there is nothing positive to look forward to. It is as if satan owns everyone in DC.

You are not alone.
I, too, have been depressed - - and angry.
I have written off a lot of people because of their willing blindness to what’s going on. They voluntarily voted for their childrens’ chains and I can’t fathom it.
Hope about the future eludes me. My hopes/dreams/plans for the future are now dust. Maybe, in the long run, that’s a good thing from a spiritual perspective. It’s hard to see that from here, tho. I just have to go through the grieving process. I grieve for our country and for what it once was.
Perhaps you should start a funeral dirge column. That could be cathartic.
Laz: I know how you feel. I feel the same way. I’ve been in the same funk since Nov. 6, my posts reflect this and more than once I’ve been called out for it. My depression is rooted in a profound love of history, and the lessons it teaches us about the immutable nature of human beings. History does not repeat per se, but it provdes the perspective that people always act the same. And history tells me that we are a nation in decline. We are too burdened with debt, no longer comptitively productive, and generally lacking any sense of personal sacrifice or even minimal comptence.
Indeed. And there’s a man who the Black population ought to be venerating.
Born dirt poor grew up in Harlem and pulled himself up and out to become one of the best journalists alive bar none.
Number one should be last, with Sowell numbr one ... The Laz ahead of Barone.
