Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m pretty sure it was Yasser Arafat who asserted that Jews had no connection to Israel in ancient times. How inconvenient for him that the earth keeps revealing reminders of precisely that connection: Archaeologists digging on Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives have discovered a nearly 3,000-year-old jar handle bearing ancient Hebrew

Continue readingClearly, swine flu is spreading, with 10,243 cases reported worldwide. There have also been 80 deaths. Now, I’m no math maven, but my simple math tells me this is a .0078 mortality rate. My question: Is a .0078 mortality rate supposed to worry me? ‘Cause if it is, I’d better
Continue readingI’m a Darwinist, so this is not a question about creationism or intelligent design or the virtues of Darwinism or anything else. I’m simply confused about why everyone is so certain that Ida’s the missing link. This lovely site simply says “She lived around the time that primates split into

No
Continue readingMy Dad, former Communist, eventual Reagan voter, had a particular pet peeve: the way in which the welfare system handed out money to women who got pregnant while on welfare. Since the women got more money for each child, even though it was questionable whether the child’s costs justified that

I caught a few minutes of Steele on the O’Hannity radio, and he was on fire there too. Could it be that Steele has finally found his footing? I hope so.

Continue readingWe’ve all heard about teenagers who, after posting the details of the parties on a social networking site, found that their parties had turn into riots because of crashers who troll networking sites. It turns out that, at least if you’re an Israeli, party crashers may be the least of

Continue readingIt occurred to me that, two times in as many days, I’ve alluded to the first couple’s Messiah complex. Yesterday, I noted that Michelle and Barack are pretty sure that John 3:16 applies to their willingness to “give” Obama to the American people and, just a few hours ago I
Continue readingDuring the 1970s, in the era of the Jewish refusniks, this joke emerged from the Soviet Union: Papa was able to get his family out of the Soviet Union, but he ended up staying behind, hoping for an opportunity to follow them. Until then, he promised he’d write. The code
