Nidal Malik Hasan will surely be executed for conducting his one-man massacre at Fort Hood. I was willing to bet he wouldn't be. For one thing, why would he be the exception? Sirhan Sirhan wasn't executed, Charles Manson wasn't executed, even J ... Obama: The world's greatest menace Friday November 13, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- The more I hear from Obama, the more convinced I am that he didn't understand that last November he was elected president of the United States and not simply re-elected to the Illinois state Senate from the district in Chicago where Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright held sway. Heck, I ... Redistributing whose wealth? Friday November 06, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- For some peculiar reason, America's left-wingers object to being called socialists. In fact, we have only one member of Congress, Vermont's Bernie Sanders, who has the gumption to admit he is one. Still, so far as I can tell, he's no more socialistic than any of the other leftist pinheads in Wa ... Liberal love for tyrants Friday October 30, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- Back when I was a kid, the two major fears in America revolved around polio and communism. Because the first disease was so prevalent and so often fatal prior to the miraculous cures wrought by Dr. Albert Sabin and Dr. Jonas Salk, neither of whom managed to garner a Nobel Prize for their heroic ... Waxman responds Friday October 23, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- A while ago, I wrote a piece titled "Blowing the whistle on Waxman." In case you missed it, I explained that Henry Waxman and I had been friends beginning almost 50 years ago at UCLA. I also said that we had seen each other infrequently over the intervenin ... Let's call it 'infirmative action' Friday October 16, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- My wife and friends often find it bizarre that I answer every e-mail I receive from my readers, including those who merely write to insult me. On occasion, even I, not being a masochist, have asked myself why I do it. There are a couple of reasons. The first is common courtesy. I figure if so ... The not so noble prize Saturday October 10, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- There is probably nothing that people would rather have mentioned in their obituaries than the fact that along the way they had won a Nobel Prize. And it's not just the money either, although 1.4 million smackers is nothing to sneeze at. No, what makes the Nobel Prize so prized is the prestig ... Blowing the whistle on Waxman Friday October 09, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- I have come clean in the past about having been friends with Rep. Henry Waxman. We had met in the late 1950s at UCLA and wound up spending a lot of time over the following decade playing cards. In fact, once, some years later, I received a phone call from a guy profiling Waxman for the Washingt ... Questions even Glenn Beck hasn't asked Friday October 02, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- I have a few questions on my mind and, judging by the questions asked by the likes of George Stephanopoulos, David Letterman and the mainstream media, if I don't ask them, there's a very good chance nobody else will. First off, I'd like to know why the 535 members of Congress have to co ... News stories crying out for comment Friday September 25, 2009 by Burt Prelutsky -- I wasn't surprised that Rep. Joe Wilson felt compelled to apologize to President Obama for calling him a liar. I also wasn't surprised to hear that within 24 hours, thousands of liberals had sent in over $200,000 in contributions to Wilson's opponent in next year's election even though they knew ...
