What is your favorite part?

September 17, 2012 by

Today, in honor of “Constitution Day,” in lieu of any gratuitous platitudes and commentary I give you the US Constitution itself (minus amendments) from the online site of the US Archives. Links will take you to Amendments that have superceded sections of original document. Signers are at the end and are linked to their biographies.

Take a half hour and read through it. If you are feeling more industrious and interested, check out ConSource.org for an excellent resource in learning more about the Constitution as it was originally written. ConSource posts images of the original document along side the transcript, as well as links to documents that further inform the original meaning of various portions of the Constitution (for example, letters from Founders, the Federalist Papers, etc).

WRR: The Red Iguana 2

September 15, 2012 by

Reviewing the Red Iguana is a bit like shooting fish in a bucket…with a shotgun. It’s hard not to get a great meal, and it’s even harder not to write great stuff about it.

Will the real America stand up and lead?

September 12, 2012 by

Romney’s response may not have been well timed or well said, but it demonstrates Americans’ disenchantment at what is missing from the Obama Administration’s foreign policy: a willingness to stand up for American values and let America lead again.

Financially, we’re not better off, says the US Census. Especially young workers.

September 12, 2012 by

With 53 percent of 18-24 year olds living back at home with their parents, it should come as no surprise that support among the young for Obama has fallen. Young voters between ages 18 and 29 have been among the groups hit hardest by the recession, with 12.7 percent unemployed and nearly a third underemployed. Support for Obama in this group has fallen from 49 percent to just 41%, a blow to a group that was important to the President’s 2008 win.

Polls got you down? Don’t Panic

September 12, 2012 by

There’s really only one that matters, and it’s only held in November. That doesn’t mean we don’t follow every poll like its a glance at the scoreboard of a rivalry week football game. The difference is that elections are not about getting ahead and running the clock out–they’re about peaking on election day.

WRR: Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

September 8, 2012 by

Everyone needs a little barbecue in their life. With football season upon us, you might need a little more.

Stop by Dickey’s to get a quick fix that is a step above. I’ve reviewed barbecue in here before (Pat’s here and Firehouse here), but Dickey’s takes restaurant served barbecue to a new high, and I’ll tell you why.

When every country is a “close and strong ally,” are any of them? [video]

September 8, 2012 by

With his eyes turned more towards reelection than America’s future and standing in the world, Obama (and his foreign policy speech writers) may have had his keyboard stuck on copy/paste. By seeing through eyes that neglect America’s unique “exceptionalism” in the world, Obama Administration foreign policy have threatened our stature on the world stage. In hitting the “reset” button, Obama has failed to consider the ultimate result in that reset on America and the world.
