The constitutional "scholar" at work
The moral peril of a classical education
Another way of putting it is this: I read and understood Aristotle, but read and did not understand Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Baudelaire, Dickens, Hawthorne, Poe, and Flannery O’Connor. These authors combined contain, in their writings, all the warnings against human weakness, human cupidity, and human deceit that any person needs to know to live wisely in this world.

Comedian Al Franken won his Senatorial race by 312 votes out of over 2.8 million votes cast.
That 2008 election proved that every single vote counts.
The 2000 presidential election came down to the state of Florida. Whoever won the Sunshine State’s 25 electoral votes would become president.
Out of nearly six million votes cast, George W. Bush won by only 537 hotly-contested votes. The vote was so tight, and the recounts so inconclusive, that legal challenges were filed by the Gore campaign. It went all the way to the Supreme Court who decided on the slim tally that favored Bush.

Nancy Pelosi's secret weapon to get reelected!
I’ve just spent the week in Las Vegas. After being surrounded by all of the craziness of that glitzy city, I need to get grounded again. What better way than with some news updates from NewsBusted’s legendary ace reporter, Jodi Miller!
Read MoreU.N. to the Catholic Church: "Stop being Catholic, or else …"
The United Nations has just come out with a report that blasts the Vatican over the abuse scandal. Fair enough. Amazingly, the U.N. demands that the Roman Catholic Church change its canon law to embrace abortion. That would solve the abuse scandal alright …
