In 1987, speechwriter Peter Robinson was told by US diplomats to write a speech for Reagan's visit to the Berlin Wall, but was warned against any "commie bashing." Thankfully, he didn't take their advice but instead wrote from the heart for all those who had suffered from communism.

On June 4th and 5th, 1989, the Chinese government violently put down the pro-liberty Tiananmen Square student protest.

Remy: Raise The Debt Ceiling Rap
Thanks to wildly out-of-control spending, Congress has had to raise the debt limit eighty times since 1960 -- yes, sometimes more than once a year. It's about to happen again, though there is the usual faux battle to go through first, in which the Republicans momentarily hold the line and then cave (though I have to say they seem to be putting up more resistance this time). For … [Read more...]
