Have We Seen The Last Of The Unhinged-Lefty Iraq Movies?

Posted on March 15th, 2010 by macaoidh

It seems the weekend take from Matt Damon’s new Bush-Lied-People-Died Iraq vehicle Green Zone was just $14.5 million. That’s not a particularly good number for Universal Pictures, which budgeted $130 million for production and sunk another $100 million for distribution on top of that.
Studio executives tell Time Magazine, whose film critic thought Green Zone was [...]

Philip K. Howard On Legal Reform

Posted on March 6th, 2010 by macaoidh

We strongly suggest our readers have a look at this talk from attorney Philip K. Howard of Common Good, a legal reform advocacy group, on the state of law in American society and how it can be reformed. Howard captures vividly the damage legal abuses have done to our culture, national character and economy…

UK Telegraph, Unbound By PC Nonsense, Tells Truth About Child-Raising

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 by Mark Zelden

My wife and our children had the opportunity last year to live in southern England for almost five months while I worked a few projects for my Washington, DC based government relations consulting firm. Being in the UK and spending significant amounts of time in London allowed me to read the multitude of daily newspapers [...]

Brown: Landrieu Should Emulate Crooked Movie Mayor

Posted on February 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

It’s hard not to like Jim Brown. The former Louisiana Insurance Commissioner-turned-blogger/radio host is one of the few statewide pols who will throw his honest opinions into the fray, and what he says is usually thought-provoking stuff. Brown has been around a while, knows most of the players involved in Louisiana politics and policy and [...]

Oscar’s Thoughts On The Super Bowl, Etc.

Posted on February 8th, 2010 by Oscar

This column marks the debut of Oscar, TheHayride.com’s resident voracious rodent and all-around pestilential influence. We want it known from the beginning that any relationship between what the little guy says and the editorial position of TheHayride.com staff is completely coincidental – were it not for certain contractual and/or economic factors unfortunately in play we [...]

Breitbart To Media: It’s Not Your Business Model That Sucks, It’s You That Sucks

Posted on February 7th, 2010 by macaoidh

New Media titan Andrew Breitbart, speaking at the National Tea Party yesterday in Nashville, castigated the traditional press for their coverage of the Tea Party movement with a speech that will likely become viral. Here’s a video sample:

Breitbart closed the speech with this quote, which brought the house down:
“If you don’t start reporting the truth [...]

On The Response To The Tebow Super Bowl Ad…

Posted on January 27th, 2010 by macaoidh

A brand-new controversy has sprung up nationwide surrounding former University of Florida Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow and a Focus On The Family ad slated and accepted to run during CBS’ airing of the Super Bowl Feb. 7.
In the ad, the story is told of Tebow’s mother, then a missionary in the Philippines who had [...]
