Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Most of the world’s media members, if asked, would undoubtedly identify themselves as sophisticates, who are too cynical and world-weary to take anything at face value. Their mental self-image almost certainly falls somewhere between wise-cracking Cary Grant (His Girl Friday) and idealistic Woodward and Bernstein. They care deeply, but they’ve
Continue readingAt NoisyRoom, Terresa has a list of all of the czars that Obama has appointed — so far. You should definitely check that list out. It is, as is the case with so many Obama initiatives, unnerving. What’s really fascinating is that Terresa has commenters as wonderful (and informed) as
Continue readingThis morning, the headlines were filled with the House’s plans to fund health care, plans that include significant taxes on the well-to-do (whose numbers will shrink despite increasing demands for their wealth to fund the program), and financially onerous burdens on small businesses. This afternoon, Congress has figured out a
Continue readingI like alliteration so much, I was tempted to pull an Elmer Fudd and title this post “Wast Week’s Watcher’s Winners,” but I restrained myself. I’ll just give you the winners, sans alliteration: Winning Council Submissions First place with 2 1/3 points! – The Provacateur – How Bonds Work (and

Continue readingTom Elia links to an utterly fatuous statement from a 25 year old Obama supporter (who nevertheless gets a bully pulpit in a WaPo blog), saying that killing the profit motive will have no effect whatsoever on pharmaceutical innovation. In the face of such stupidity, I have to drag out
Continue readingBarack Obama’s science czar turns out to be a long-time, committed eugenicist. In other words, his 1971 publication calling for mass sterilization was not simply a youthful fling with a bad idea. As Michelle Malkin details, he still clings to those ideas and only recently cited as his intellectual mentor
Continue readingWith California getting perilously close to bankruptcy, you’d think that the government might want to trim or cut a few extraneous budget items. What’s insane is that, despite an endless list of possibilities, our government claims that everything on the budget is absolutely necessary and cannot be cut. People —
Continue readingYou know that I don’t like judges. I’ve certainly made no secret of that fact, and it’s no doubt a by-product of practicing law in a region crawling with activist judges. Listening to Sotomayor struggle to articulate things — and to avoid her own footprint — in response to Sen.
Continue readingSteve Crowder looks at the Canadian health care system. Some of his experiences are similar to those in any busy city emergency room, such as a long, long wait for a low level problem. Others, most notably statements by nurses, make your eyes bug: Three years to get an appointment

Continue readingThe Washington Post is warning Republican senators not to be mean to poor Judge Sotomayor. It’s a funny (inadvertently funny) article, because the Post editors acknowledge that Obama was anything but gracious when he was a Senator; then they explain why, even though he wasn’t gracious, he was right; and
Continue readingThere are some very special people out there. This woman is one of those people. Hat tip: Brutally Honest, who saw it at Confederate Yankee, who found it at Argghhh!
Continue readingThe cat’s out of the bag now, and it’s clear that the Democrats and Obama are planning on destroying small businesses in America. This is no surprise, of course, given that small business — entrepreneurship, independence and individualism — is the antithesis of a government run marketplace: In the middle
Continue readingUPDATE: You, my readers, are clearly right, and you’ve shown once again that context is king. Obama is introducing Medvedev to his people and not vice versa. Although this still does not account for Obama’s exasperated expression. **************************** This is a fairly shocking 13 second video showing myriad Russians refusing,
