Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will

Awesome......

"But a man or woman who makes a huge wage for memorizing lines and reciting them in front of a camera is no longer my idea of a shining star we should all look up to."

Got that right!

The stars who deserve media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who patrol the streets of Mosul

Therein lies the problem, the media thinks hollywood is full of heroes and our military is full of evil people.

Good point Ben.  I still think he's a jerk for quitting his show and costing me my daily dose of Nancy Pimental.

Good job Ben Stein!

I wish he'd make this kind of column a biweekly event. That'd be a good replacement for who's eating at this Morton's. (whatever that is anyway)

I never have been able to care who was eating at Morton's or which Hollywood star was sneaking around with someone else's wife.

I made that decision when I was 17. Three wars and 43 years later I know I made the right decision.

You see I lived in the company of heroes every damned day of my life and that's a pretty good way to have spent your days.
