Three years after its advisory vote to bar military recruiters from the city's public schools and colleges, San Francisco has finally come around to honoring the military--Stalin's, not America's. Last weekend, the city unveiled a monument venerating the so-called Abraham Lincoln Brigade who shipped out in the 1930s to inflict Communism on the Spanish. Read my piece at The American Spectator's website detailing the American Left's continued obsession with honoring the dishonorables who served Stalin.

Nice piece Dan.

Outside of this kind of thing not surprising anybody familiar with San Francisco, this and for many other reasons it would be best for humanity if the S.A. Fault finally cracked and the City by the Bay slid off into the Pacific Ocean.

I find it ironic how SF has changed in the last 150 years. I did not know until recently that SF was the first place in the United States to pass an anti-drug law. The law was racist in nature, since it sought to stop Chinese men from gathering in opium dens. Kudos to the History Channel.

My how far the pendulum has swung.

Be well,

That's two high profile articles due to the publication of your book. I'm curious, did the magazines solicit your services? Do you expect to do more articles, syndicated columnist style? I hope so. It's a good gig if you can get it.

If you look at the "articles" page on this site, there is a three year gap between 2005 and 2008 where I did not write articles. Writing "A Conservative History of the American Left" didn't allow for outside writing (save the website). Now that the book is done I have time to write articles and reviews, which, given my inattention to such writing, is something that I'm anxious to do. It also helps raise awareness of the book. I don't know if I could produce high-quality books and write a regular column. The articles that I have been writing (more to come) are generally ones that I submit rather than ones that have been solicited. This is sometimes a frustrating process, in that I write articles every so often that don't get published. With the blog, there's no waiting to hear an answer from an editor while the article becomes dated.

It amazes me when anyone can write just one book, never mind many. Plus articles plus blogs plus speaking engagements.

Makes the rest of us seem like mere mortals.
