"Fabled beginnings" -- "sprightly" -- "fresh and witty" -- are just a few of the attributes of The American Spectator. Discover our other dandy virtues by subscribing today -- every month indulge yourself to the poignant stylings of RET, John Fund, Ben Stein, and many more.

Each month, as a subscriber, you will receive our hard-hitting and timely features, such as the recent profiles of Mitt Romney, George Allen, and Chuck Hagel, a telling report from the Clinton presidential library, and continuous investigative pieces on spend-thrift Republicans. In addition, you'll have immediate access to columns adored by scores of loyal readers for years, such as:

  • R. Emmett Tyrrell's Continuing Crisis and Public Nuisances;
  • Tom Bethell's Capitol Ideas;
  • Ben Stein's Diary;
  • Economics with Brian S. Wesbury;
  • John H. Fund's Politics;
  • Culture maven James Bowman;
  • Current Wisdom from Assorted Jackasses;
  • and our new expanded book section.

"The American Spectator is the one magazine I always pull out of my mail pile. Get two copies. Send the extra one to your kids or grandkids. The Spectator will teach them what conservatism is, and they'll have fun reading it."
-- Sean Hannity

"One of the nation's most energetic and sprightly journals of opinion."
-- Time Magazine

"Our nation's intellectual life would be more than a little poorer without The American Spectator surveying the scene."
-- President George H. W. Bush

"When I entered politics, a few years before most of you were born, we didn't have a monthly magazine like The American Spectator to offer fresh and witty discussions and lively debate on current issues…"
-- President Ronald Reagan

"Ever since its fabled beginnings as The Alternative at Indiana University in 1967, Mr. Tyrrell's magazine has consistently asked tough questions and yielded provocative answers."
--The New York Sun
