This rendition of “Hallelujah” is, in my opinion, far and away the best ever recorded. Indeed, I’d be hard pressed to find a better singing performance on YouTube than these four Norsemen – Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes, and Kurt Nilsen – performing that song....

Here’s your awesome video for the day.

Bush Solicitor General Theodore Olson (once considered for the Supreme Court) has joined forces with David Boies, his opponent in 2000’s Bush v. Gore decision, to challenge California’s Proposition 8 in federal court. This week, the California State Supreme Court upheld Prop. 8, which outlawed...

When Justice Alito was nominated to the Supreme Court, a number of left-wing interest groups complained that Catholics would constitute a majority on the Supreme Court.

I’m stuck with two extra tickets to the Indy 500. Stand J, outside of turn 4, great view of turn 4 and down the front straightaway, including the pit entrance. Face value is $70 each. For just $70 plus USPS Express Mail shipping (or possibly less if you bid rather than buy), these choice seats...
