Cuckolding a man yet caring about him? The touching story told by the song In Some Room Above the Street.
I find the song In Some Room Above the Street, especially as sung in the inimitable vibrato of the late country singer Gary Stewart, to have an extraordinary emotional power. Part of the reason for the song’s power is that it ends on an unexpectedly poignant note. The song begins by telling of a rather... »
Gender, Lies and Phil McGraw
With the moral foundation of an Enron executive, he sells snake oil packaged as solutions. He appears to listen to peoples problems, but what he really hears is cha-ching. That’s the sound a man’s head makes when you sucker punch him on national television. All this is delivered with an endearing hint of Texas... »
Jackson’s death a teaching moment re: ‘normal’ behavior
The death of Michael Jackson and the ensuing struggle between those that want to deify him and those that — pardon the pun — want to bury him for his alleged crimes, opens the door for a much needed discussion about child molestation.

Miss USA And The Ugly Counterculture
Those who demand tolerance from traditional America reveal themselves to be wholly intolerant of any opposing viewpoint.

Rebranding Manhood
Fathers Are Mere Tenants The manhood brand is dead, kaput, and that is no accident.

The judicial reason is... »
Oprah Is Harpo on Violent Women

Is Tom Hanks Un-American?
Culture-Splitting Battle Quick … name one person, in all of world history, born as the result of a homosexual union. You can’t. It’s biologically impossible.

-By Warner Todd Huston So, what sort of hue and cry do you think would have been raised if President Bush had proposed that he develop an “art czar” like Obama is proposing? Do you think that the left would have eagerly agreed with the idea that a President Bush should be in control of... »
Here’s To You, Greg! Why I’ll never forget you
I was fifteen years old. It was 1972. Mom had two coupons for free hair stylings at a local beauty college. She let me make use of both coupons. I don’t recall much about the first styling.

Money Trumps Love
House in Malibu On a February 28, 2008, appearance on Fox & Friends, I said that a woman meeting a man at a party will assess his value to her based purely on his profession: “If he says ‘I’m a doctor,’ she thinks, house in Malibu; if he says, ‘I’m a teacher,’ she thinks, Chevy... »
