Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Multiculturalism is one of those concepts that’s supposed to give all of us a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling. We’re all equal, we’re all wonderful. We’re no longer that icky old melting pot that forced minorities with exciting, dynamic cultures to subordinate themselves to a generic white America and become bland
Continue readingThe front we don’t hear about, of course, is Afghanistan. Because it was for an acceptable cause and went well, the media has pretty much abandoned it. It’s not bleeding enough to lead, and it does not fit in with the anti-Bush agenda. I was curious about what it’s like
Continue readingIf rumor is right, this is the scandal to end all scandals. But if I were a betting woman, I’d bet against this. Hillary is the most calculating person in the world, and I do not believe that she would jeopardize her life long dream of ultimate power by getting
Continue readingWell, Halloween is almost over. The kids, over-stimulated and over-sugared, are having a last snack and then they’re going to bed — no doubt over their vociferous protests. As is always the case in our neighborhood, it was a very nice Halloween. I know most of the kids who come
Continue readingI’ve posted repeatedly about the fact that one of the main things Islamists fear about the West is the fact that the West has decided not to subjugate its women. So much of Islamic energy is spent on women’s issues — only not in the way NOW defines them. To
Continue readingLast night, my husband was conducting a rather wild bedtime for the kids, while I was working on a project. I suddenly felt this weird thudding under foot and hollered out “Was that an earthquake?” “No,” he said. “It’s just the kids running around.” Some kids. Some running!
Continue readingToday is going to be a slightly fragmented day, since it’s Halloween. I know I’ll get some blogging done — I just don’t know when. Until then, my best wishes for you and your kids to enjoy a Happy Halloween!
Continue readingOkay, it’s time to get serious here. I just went over to the pledge and information page for the Project Valour — IT fund raiser and discovered to my immense chagrin that the Marines are trailing the Army. At this moment, all I can do is quote Claude Raines: “I’m
Continue readingYesterday I wrote about an administrative meeting I attended at our local public school, relating how everyone assured me that the teachers understood a policy document that was to guide them. However, when I asked questions, it became apparent that the teachers, in fact, didn’t understand at least a few
Continue readingI can’t get any of the clever visuals to work in Word Press, but I can tell you that, as of 22:34 p.s.t., the Marines are in the lead on Project Valour – IT. Let’s keep the momentum going. We want all the teams to win, of course, but we
Continue readingWould it surprise any of you to learn that the media’s coverage of the President horse race accords more coverage, and more favorable coverage, to the Democratic candidates? It didn’t surprise me, but it’s still useful to see it in black and white: Campaign coverage of the 2008 presidential election
Continue reading“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” — The Princess Bride I attended a meeting at the school today for one of the management committees that sees parents and teachers working together to come up with specific details to implement long
Continue readingThe LA Times has a story today that has just an incredibly funny title: Polls don’t reflect Obama’s star power. Maybe, if the polls don’t reflect Obama’s star power, it’s because he doesn’t have any. In other words, what makes a star a star, at least in the Hollywood world
Continue readingOne of the things I landed on, hard, in my post about the great Rush Limbaugh smear was the fact that Media Matters, in order to smear Rush, did some very selective editing so as to destroy entirely the context in which his “phony soldier” comment arose. It seems that
Continue readingOnce again, there’s a news story saying that crude oil prices are at record highs (emphasis mine): Oil prices rose above $93 a barrel to a new trading high in Asia Monday on growing political tensions in the Middle East, a weak dollar and worries about the supply outlook ahead
