Real American Heroes: Paul Ryan Edition
August 1st, 2014

In the August issue of Newsmax magazine, Paul Ryan is asked what he’s reading. He gives two replies: Captain Underpants and . . . wait for it . . .

In case you don’t want to blow it up, Ryan says:

This is an insightful work for anyone interested in how demographic trends are changing our economy and our world. With the retirement of the baby boomers almost in full swing, I think policymakers will be grappling with Last’s findings for a long time to come.

I believe in Paul Ryan. Now, more than ever.

For me, the best part is still that you come AFTER Captain Underpants.

Don’t lie, you call JVL “Capt Underpants”

Wait, doesn’t he give three replies?

The first being The Cave and The Light?

And I wish you were on Janine Turner’s list 🙂

Quickest way in the physical universe to make a reporter your starry eyed love puppy: blurb his book in your sitdown. Of course, you were easy pickin’s back when, but still…

…come to think about it, I can’t think of anyone else I would like as President. The other choices do make for a gag reflex, and not the fun kind.

"We should have called it The Virtue Rises. Humbug." — JVL

In the midst of PC police, low-budget holiday movies, and mandatory in-law time, the only Christmas spirit on most people's minds these days is the kind that comes in a flask.

"It's long and it doesn't have Spider-Man in it anywhere." — Cody Last

From the all-star cast who brought you The Seven Deadly Virtues comes a book with a look at the good life… or the crazy-stressful-overwhelmed life… of a father. As anyone who has spent time with a child knows, fatherhood is a mixed bag of fun, fury, and failure. So much is lost—no more catnaps during football commercials, no more exotic vacations or impromptu day trips. And yet, as authors like P. J.…

"The best argument for chastity since Bea Arthur." — Andrew Ferguson

An all-star team of eighteen conservative writers offers a hilarious, insightful, sanctimony-free remix of William Bennett’s The Book of Virtues—without parental controls. The Seven Deadly Virtues sits down next to readers at the bar, buys them a drink, and an hour or three later, ushers them into the revival tent without them even realizing it. The book’s contributors include Sonny Bunch, Christopher Buckley, David “Iowahawk” Burge, Christopher Caldwell, Andrew Ferguson, Jonah Goldberg, Michael…

""A powerful argument that the only thing worse than having children is not having them."" — P. J. O'Rourke

For years, we have been warned about the looming danger of overpopulation: people jostling for space on a planet that’s busting at the seams and running out of oil and food and land and everything else. It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people are having too few babies. Population…
