Senator Cruz’s speech today in trying to get the Senator to pass the House bill funding the government but defunding Obamacare.
An evening pause: Senator Cruz’s (R-Texas) speech today in trying to get the Senate to pass the House continuing resolution funding the government but defunding Obamacare. His speech begins at 6:25, after Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) rejected that bill.
I think it worthwhile for everyone to watch this speech, as Cruz makes it very clear that the only people willing to shut the government down are the Democrats. Moreover, Reid’s rejection establishes unequivocally the fact that the Democrats are once again endorsing Obamacare, despite its now very obvious disastrous problems.

Pigs in Space
An evening pause: This particular Muppet sketch is especially apropos considering the title of the op-ed that I have written that will appear tomorrow, Wednesday, August 14, in the Wall Street Journal.
Update: As it turns out, the Journal changed my original title, which was “Pigs in Space”, to “No Liftoff for These Space Flights of Fancy”. I liked my title better, but no matter.

An evening pause: There are many intellectual fools these days who love to denigrate the United States and its history. These words, however, tell its true story, honestly and simply. Woe to us if we forget it.

An evening pause: The British take on America and many American pop songs about our fair country.
