TRUTH SERUM:
the conservative comedy cure for that painful liberal hangover.
Hello and welcome to TRUTH SERUM! Award-winning journalist and screenwriter Tom Schlegel made his directorial debut helming THE LITTLE RED HEN in the first grade.
He went on to study screenwriting at UCLA where a script he wrote led to him being signed by a literary talent agent. After optioning several scripts to other producers, Schlegel founded his own production company, BATTING 9TH PRODUCTIONS. The first project was the short film TUMBLING DICE that became the highest-rated and most viewed short film on the Independent Film Channel website and was chosen for the IFC showcase on the Independent Film Channel.
Schlegel then wrote and produced the documentary WINTHROP RISING: A BASKETBALL STORY, a film that received both critical acclaim and national distribution.
His most recent script, CROSSROADERS, won a prize in a national screenwriting competition and will be his feature directorial debut. He currently works as a conservative newspaper columnist and is the founder of TRUTH SERUM INTERVIEWS. Please feel free to chime in the comment sections and share your thoughts, observations, feelings and experiences too.

Is an Article Written the Day After 9/11 Instructive eight years later?
Leonard Pitts Jr. makes sense of what troubles the American soul. This article, originally published September 12th, 2001 in the Miami Herald has great insights from a fantastic writer. It's worth a fresh look.

Thomas Paine: Take Your Country Back
In college I wrote an essay about Thomas Paine. He was an incredibly interesting guy and did more to change our country for the better than some of his better-known contemporaries. Thankfully he's back to explain what's happening to our country and how we can save it.

PJTV's Steven Crowder Rocks the House--That's a Peace Prize
Steven, Steven, Steven. You've done it again. And right now I'm standing up giving you a standing ovation. In looking for the perfect piece to sum up Obama's undeserved Nobel Peace Prize I almost settled on the article about writing Obama in as a Heisman trophy candidate. Then I thought perhaps i would write something myself. Then Crowder came along with this little gem and, well, nuf said.

Truth Serum Interview with 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad
In this interview, actor Glenn Takakjian (LAW&ORDER, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) plays 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad. The Progressives on the left don't understand or don't care that mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. This video is a response to that perverse logic. KSM discusses why he should be released, life at GITMO, "torture" and, of course, waterboarding. My hope is that this video gives you a few laughs and spotlights the profound immorality of moral equivalence.

Obama Healthcare Czar Talks About Socialized Medicine
The Truth Serum Series is a collection of interviews with newsworthy figures showing
what might happen if the interview subject were on truth serum.
Welcome to the first TRUTH SERUM INTERVIEW.
In today's installment, actor Hugh Holub (BRUNO, THE BUCKET LIST) plays Vladimir Hipkiss, Obama's Healthcare Czar. The interview is intended to be fun and insightful in addition to being a chilling indictment of Obamacare and socialized medicine, which has failed magnificently all over the world. The point of view is that any government-run healthcare system will be managed with the same incompetence and inefficiency as the DMV, the IRS, the Postal Service, Amtrak and other nationalized agencies run by the federal government. Perhaps most intriguing is the revelation of the identity of the three people on the Death Panel.

Obama's Speech Made My Son A Communist
When Barack Obama addressed America's schoolchildren yesterday my nine year old son made it through the whole process with his soul intact. I suppose I'll get used to living with a pre-teen Communist. Or so I thought.
Today is the morning after the speech and he seized control of the stairs before we woke up. He said something about he who controls the stairs controls the means of production. After paying the stair tax—climbing the stairs is free, he reminded me, but he was taxing me to make it affordable for everybody—I crossed the living room and headed for the breakfast table.
The little tyke had been busy. He had redistributed the loaf of bread somewhere so we rationed the last piece between the rest of the family—apparently he had feasted well before the rest of us got up. I paid the sitting-down-at-the-table tax and, still hungry, took my budding Communist to school.
I must admit I didn't quite understand it all, but part of me was proud: I thought he showed a lot of initiative for a little Socialist. Maybe Mr. Obama really was inspiring. My eyes were beginning to open to the world around me in a way that seemed impossible before THE SPEECH.
As my son got out of the car I reminded him, as I always do, to keep his dreams in the forefront of his mind and to work hard to achieve them (he wants to be an astronaut!). He gently but sternly admonished me for wasting time on such foolishness and said dreams are for suckers; his dream—the only dream really—was to be part of the cradle-to-grave bureaucracy and serve President Obama and his awe-inspiring agenda.
Unfortunately I couldn't have been more wrong. Before he could tell me what he was so excited about I asked him how he did on his math test. The whole class got an “A” because the teacher didn't want anybody to feel bad, he told me. Interesting.
Okay, what was he so excited about? It seems my son and his friends (in their matching brown shirts) had rigged the school election. How, you ask? They scared the friends of the kid they didn't want to win away from the polls through a clever and merciless combination of mean stares, name-calling, Charlie horses and even the occasional snuggie or wet Willy.
The little Communist went to bed with his stomach rumbling and a better understanding of Socialism than any speech could hope to inspire. As he headed up the stairs (now controlled by the people who pay the mortgage, his parents) he grumbled under his breath that he wouldn't forget what we were doing and Barack would hear all about this.
When he woke up in the morning he was a Capitalist.

This concerned me, but I chalked it all up to some sort of phase he must be going through. When I picked my son up from school he was very excited to tell me about his day. Perhaps this whole Commie-Pinko-Socialist thing had blown over.

They scared the friends of the kid they didn't want to win away from the polls through a clever and merciless combination of mean stares, name-calling, Charlie horses and even the occasional snuggie or wet Willy.
My concern continued to grow, especially when he told me he didn't need to study because everybody got the same grade anyway. I figure maybe football practice would pull him out of his Commie stupor. What's more American than football? But there was no such luck. He wanted to quit football so he could spy on us and the other parents full-time and report any parent who wasn't working to promote Barack's agenda.
Just when I was finding it difficult to keep hope alive, my wife stepped in and solved the problem. First, she made my son do the nastiest chores for three hours, including poo patrol. When he demanded to be paid for his work she split the money evenly between him and his brother and sister even though they didn't do any work. Then she took half of the money he had left as tax. There are moments that remind you why you married your spouse and this was one of them. But she wasn't quite finished. She said that everybody would be treated the same from now on and fed him the same amount of food as his three-year-old sister—one fifth of his usual meal—and sent him to bed at 7:30 (her bedtime). Gawd, I love her!
When he woke up in the morning he was a Capitalist.

SNL land shark or CNN's Wolf: Who has more credibility?
There are times when life deliciously does what art could never do. And Jonah Goldberg is one of those writers who can drive home a point and crack you up at the same time. I dare you to keep a straight face as he lays the wood to CNN, Katie Couric, and the rest of the chuckleheads in the mainstream media. Spongebob even gets in on the act. You must read this!

Michael A. Walsh: Where Have All The Heroes Gone?
Michael A. Walsh over at Front Page magazine brilliantly breaks down why contemporary Hollywood hates America. He cites movie cliches like the 100-pound woman who can beat up the man three times her size or the ubiquitous and stunningly accomplished minority who can easily outperform a white person at just about anything. Great read. Check it out.

How about immigration reform for American immigrants to Mexico?
Illegal aliens are overwhelming American schools, prisons, and hospitals. In these tough economic times, immigrants from Mexico in particular are under the microscope. This animated video from the American Comedy Network skewers the liberal point of view on immigration while indicting the federal government for failing to do its job. Its point of view is right on the money and is pretty darn funny to boot. Enjoy.

Media god Steyn: Liberals love Conservatives who make great concession speeches
Mark Steyn discusses how the liberal media would love for conservatives to embrace decent old sticks like Bob Dole and John McCain, both of whom give great concession speeches. But they horde their bitterness and unleash it on conservative voices who scare them most: Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.

Liberals Neurotically Fixated On One Lie?
If you don't love Ann Coulter you are either dead or a liberal. Or maybe her brash style rubs you the wrong way. The fact is that the conservative underground needs more in-your-face commentary because we have the moral high ground and we are right. And Ann keeps you laughing. It doesn't get any better than this.
