		<title>BC’s Free Market Coalition Can Be Saved &#8211; But Time is Running Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As someone who has been a supporter of Premier Christy Clark ever since she was my local MLA and I was a teenager it greatly pains me to say this: unless some immediate and drastic changes are made the NDP will form British Columbia’s next government.  Yet it appears to me today, as it has [...]]]></description>

		<title>The California Option and the Path to an Open Convention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like many supporters of the Republican Party, I remain agnostic as to the matter of who shall be the party’s nominee for President.  While I am on the record as believing that Mitt Romney would make a capable President and, while he remains the probable nominee, I am also friendly towards the other serious candidates [...]]]></description>

		<title>How the Abuse of Statistics Has Wrecked Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In his recent State of the Union address, President Obama advocated measures that would attempt to create more high school graduates by forcing all Americans to remain in High School until either they graduate or until they turn eighteen.  In the same speech, he also lamented the increasing cost of post-secondary education and called for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changing Liquor Laws Would Be Good Policy and Good Politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a recent visit to Austin, TX I had the singular pleasure of seeing a film at an Alamo Drafthouse theatre.  Not only could I enjoy seeing The Ides of March in a comfortable setting, but I was able to order a beer and some freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies and have them delivered to my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mitt Romney is the Republican Nominee for President</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year I raised the ire of some by predicting that Mitt Romney would, based upon an examination of history, be the Republican nominee for President.  Six months later I feel that I must, with some reluctance, recommit myself to that prediction.  With the latest polling showing that then intense negative attacks on Newt [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third World War: Prophecies Come to Pass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the primary reasons for the hurried construction of The Blast of War and its forthcoming sequel (which I hope to have ready for release in the next few weeks) A Land War in Asia is that much of the timeline I set forth for the hypothetical Third World War depicted therein takes place [...]]]></description>

		<title>The End of the Printed Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My apartment is filled with books.  By my count, I have more than a thousand of them and, estimating conservatively, I’ve probably read about eight hundred of those thousand (a result of many of these books having been picked up in large batches either from used book stores or remainder sales and then later passed [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Funniest Television Show That (Almost) No One is Watching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m going to depart from my usual commentary to offer an endorsement of what I believe to be the best television show that (almost) no one is watching: HBO’s The Life and Times of Tim.  While fact that the show’s third season premieres next month suggests that it has at least some fans I think [...]]]></description>

		<title>“99% Means Civil War”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ask for your pardon in advance.  At the outset I had no desire to waste as many pixels as I have on the execrable and attention-seeking conduct of the so-called “Occupy” movement.  With my new book, The Blast of War, exceeding my initial sales expectations I would probably be better off spending more time [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Uncertain Trumpet: Why I’m voting for Suzanne Anton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the outset of this election season I had planned to vote for “None of the Above” for Mayor by casting my ballot for a third party candidate.  My reasons for doing so were simple enough: I don’t particularly care for the positions of the candidate of the NPA, the only right-of-centre party, on a [...]]]></description>
