Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As you may recall, a couple of days ago I notified my Marin readers that Michael Medved would be giving a talk at Book Passage to promote his new book, The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions About Our Nation. His talk was so good I actually supported
Continue readingThe EU doesn’t need to steal British sovereignty. Britain just needs to appoint idiots, and the transfer of sovereignty will happen naturally.
Continue readingAn email friend of mine advanced the notion of General Petraeus running in 2012. The man has shown himself to be incredibly competent, but I don’t know much more about him. He certainly has executive experience. My friend, who knows (or knows of him) quite well says that he has

Continue readingThe other day, I wrote a post in which I concluded that Barack Obama was not evil — he was a politico whose plans could be bad for America, but who hadn’t stepped beyond the pale of ordinary human behavior. Rick, at Brutally Honest, found an example of something that
Continue readingAt the end of my “Is Barack Obama evil” post, I issued this warning: Conservatives devalue their arguments against Obama’s policy if they start throwing the word “evil” around. While that may work with the converted, it frightens the vast middle. Rather than looking like wise men (and women) with
Continue readingSo much of what Progressives seek for us is a return to the less than lovely and easy parts of the past. For example, in the greenie world, who needs warm, efficient, useful incandescent light bulbs? How much better if we bathe the environment in love by using light bulbs
Continue readingI’m always amazed that the Democrats can, with a straight face, present themselves as the party of the little people and as opposed to big business. I guess their deal is that, as long as a corrupt capitalist system exists, they should exploit it to the max, all the while
Continue readingMuscle spasm in lower back, which usually means I collapse, kind of like this, only with pain attached. Took valium. Helped muscle spasm. Wiped out brain. Sitting up still painful, but do-able, but brain so defective, can’t hold on to coherent thought. Still can’t understand why people take drugs recreationally.
Continue readingIf you’re in or near Marin, Michael Medved will be at Book Passage this coming Tuesday, at 7 p.m., to read from his book The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions About Our Nation. Barring child care problems, I’m going to try to be there.
Continue readingSometimes, when I hear a song, I’m catapulted back, not to some era in my life, but to a very specific moment in time, sometimes mere minutes long. Running carpools today, I heard two songs that turned me into a very young 20-something all over again. The first, the Thompson

Continue readingWhile we were having lunch today, my dear friend Don Quixote asked “Do you think Barack Obama is evil?” I hedged. “That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask?” “I’m getting the feeling,” he answered, “that conservatives are starting to define Obama as being evil. At least, that’s the impression
Continue readingHere’s what I know about the Taliban: (1) They are the ne plus ultra of all that is bad about the sharia mindset and (2) they are the enemy against whom our American troops fight in Afghanistan. Thanks to Dr. Rusty Shackleford, I now know one more thing about them:
