The Wilmore proviso
(Scott Johnson) I thought that President Obama's material at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night was mostly unfunny. What to say, though, about the Comedy Channel's Larry Wilmore, who followed Obama? Wilmore is allegedly a comedian, though he was painfully unfunny for 22 minutes that felt more like 22 hours. Watching Wilmore, I wondered, did anyone working on that material really find it funny? Did anyone really think others would find

Here's why we only did three deals last year
There has been a huge disconnect between private and public company valuations over the last few years. This isn't the first time I've said it. It probably won't be the last.

An Elite Faith
In 1927, American high society was swept up in a frantic religious mania. Leading politicians, intellectuals, philanthropists, educators, reporters, and scientists prophesied that the nation would be consumed by fire and brimstone in the form of "unfit" babies unless it offered up a sacrifice. The state of Virginia went before the U.S. Supreme Court, that temple of modernity, with an offering. Legendary progressive Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes looked upon Carrie Buck, a 19-year-old imbecile with an imbecilic mother and imbecilic bastard infant, and embraced his role as Solomon.
The post An Elite Faith appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.
