“[N]o one did it like Breitbart”
Last night, someone asked me, “who’s the most influential person in your iPhone contacts?” “I don’t know,” I said. “Breitbart’s dead.” David Carr writes in New York Times about the Life and Death of Andrew Breitbart. Be advised that neither Carr nor NYT shares our political beliefs. And the tactics they cheer from the left, they attack when from the right. Funny how when Karen Finney lies about Mitt Romney, it’s good journalism. When Andrew
RIP, Andrew Breitbart **UPDATE**
Business Insider has picked up a Big Journalism story that Andrew Breitbart died last night. (Big Journalism is one of Breitbart’s web sites.) If this is true, then we’ve lost a gallant warrior in the battle to preserve and advance freedom and liberty. Of course, the lefties will flood the internet with hate and bile. So maybe the obit is a plot to draw the lefties out and reveal them for who and what they

A Maniacal Focus for 2012
I’m almost finished reading Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple co-founder and genius Steve Jobs. Jobs’s life left insanely good lessons. Some lessons instruct us on how to do things. Others warn us of bad things to avoid. One of the good things Steve Jobs taught us: focus. Maniacal focus on things that mattered, and a pathological aversion to distractions. One example. When Jobs returned to Apple after 10-year exile, he took stock of all the
Dana Bouncing Back
Dana Loesch has been plagued with a perstistent cold. Yesterday, her stairs leapt up and kicked her in the . . . Turns out to be a fractured coccyx (aka, tailbone). We feel terrible that Dana had this tale to share with the world, but we congratulate ourselves for limiting the number of cheap jokes. Certainly, we pray for minimal pain and minimal recovery time.
The Difference Between Cooperation and Consensus
What many people don’t get is that cooperation is not the same as consensus. Cooperation means someone takes the lead on an issue. If it makes sense, and if the leader is perceived to have good character and judgment, others follow. Otherwise, the project is stillborn. It’s the way the market picks leaders. Not through org charts, but through action and response. One person may be the leader on one issue and a cooperator on
Why Empire?
“Why would a nation become imperial?,” Steven asked me. “I mean, why would you want to take that on?” The conversation had been on Japan leading up to World War II. The question was important. Why would a nation conquer dissimilar nations? Why accept that burden and risk? My answer, which I’ve grown more fond of as time’s passed, was something like this: Imperial people view everything as a fixed pie. More importantly, if you
Friday Happy Hour for March 11, 2011
Every senior generation decries the banal idiocy of its junior generations. Remember how critical Boomers were of Generation X? Turns out Gen X was one of the most productive generations in a long while. Then Gen Y just went off and fought two wars for us. Historian Neil Howe points us to today’s Happy Hour: a Millennial elected to Michigan’s state assembly last November. http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1 As Howe points out: Many positive Millennial (born 1982-200?) traits
