QUEEN CHRISTINA
| January 3, 2004
"Queen Christina is a literate, intelligent film that explores the conflict of duty vs. happiness with poignancy, style, and surprising explicitness."

YES, MINISTER
| January 2, 2004
"Those looking for political satire that is funny, biting, philosophical, and surprisingly fresh…should not miss the exploits of Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey Appleby."(->)
"The author performs effectively the difficult task of taking abstract moral principles and concretizing them for intelligent individuls who have little or no prior knowledge of philosophy."(->)
"This is a portrait of the genius artist Michelangelo as a relatively young man, captured in the act of contemplating his own work. This sculpture depicts the very act of a man valuing himself—his own talents and his own creation."
"In Eve's relaxed, open nudity and the casual sensuousness with which she nibbles on her apple, we see a guiltless love of herself; in her focused concentration on her book, we see her fearless hunger for knowledge; and in her sumptuous and curvaceous pose, we see a confidence that she is perfectly at home in this world, a world that exists for her enjoyment, for her pleasure, for her happiness."—Sherri Tracinski, The Intellectual Activist, Volume 19, Nos. 7 & 8(->)
This year, we are called upon to decide the most important political issue there is: are there any limits on the power of government? The question is not, what are the limits on government? The question is: are there any limits at all?
At the Jefferson Area Tea Party's Independence Day celebration in Charlottesville, Virginia, we were favored by a surprise visit from our most famous local celebrity, the Sage of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson came to read the Declaration of Independence to our audience, but after he was done, our emcee, radio talk show host Joe Thomas, asked the third president if he could favor us with his views on today's Tea Party movement. Here is what Mr. Jefferson said.
A Right to Exist If We Don't

Iraq Bombings Aim at Voting Plan
| February 12, 2004 New al-Qaeda bombings are intended to intimidate the UN from running Iraqi elections. Why? Because the terrorists know the UN has a long record of cowardice in Iraq. In contrast, this report highlights the courage and resolve of Iraqi policemen.(->)
3/11 and 11/2: Vote to Reject a Truce with Terror
| November 2, 2004 Osama bin Laden has clarified this election in a way the candidates could not. He has made it clear that this election is about whether we will vote for a truce with terrorism--or whether we will vote to endure long enough to win the war.(->)
The Washington Conundrum: Why We Can't Afford a Leader Who Will Say Anything to Get Elected
| October 18, 2004 Kerry fails the test that I call "The Washington Conundrum." The Washington Conundrum is named, not after Washington, DC, but after George Washington. It is my term for the basic dilemma of political science: the only person who can be trusted to wield the power of the chief executive is a person who doesn't want that power. The only person qualified to be president of the United States is a man like George Washington, a man with no lust for power, who serves in office reluctantly and gives up power willingly.(->)
