Of course, on the question of the relationship of clear writing and clear thinking, George Orwell is indispensible. And so it is indeed fitting that my friend Peter Hitchens has won the Orwell prize, England’s most prestigious writing award. Go, fight, win.

Here’s What I’m Talking About
I have been blogging through Peter Hitchens’ The Rage Against God. That fine book is now available here in the states, and, in particular, in Idaho to be precise, it is available through Canon Press. Here you go.
A Good Place for It
Now here is a real deal. The president of Westminster Seminary in Philly, Peter Lillback, has done some wonderful work on George Washington. Peter was just on Glenn Beck, and his biography of George Washington shot to number one on Amazon. That’s a good place for it. Well, as it turns out, Peter was here …
The Greedy Gusses at OilCo
