Bookworm Room

At Big Government today, Evan Coyne Maloney, another of the young conservative guns who uses modern media techniques to bring down Democratic dinosaurs, asks how it is that the media completely missed the ACORN scandal.  Maloney thinks that political correctness created the blinders media figures wore.  To the extent that ACORN is a black organization [...]

I’ve had three emails about this audio of Mark Levin’s interview with Stephen A. Smith.  Having listened to it, I understand why:

As someone whose addiction to chocolate is legendary amongst those who know her, this can only be good news: In a study that will provide comfort to chocoholics everywhere, researchers in Sweden have found evidence that people who eat chocolate have increased survival rates after a heart attack — and it may be that the [...]

I need help from you guys developing a thought.  The thought started with this picture of Michelle Obama in a deep-veed, fluffy blouse; a saggy sweater; a bondage belt; and the gypsy skirt from hell: Aside from the fact that the picture pretty much puts the lie forever to the media’s desparate attempt to liken [...]

Apologies for the prolonged blog silence today, but I’ve been running from pillar to post since 7 a.m.  Of course, when the pillar is a new, well-paying work assignment, and one of the posts is lunch with both Thomas Lifson, of American Thinker, and Robin of Berkeley, you really can’t complain too much.  It is [...]

If you’re a conservative who’s been out in the internet for any length of time, you know Matt Burden, of Blackfive.  Matt has always served his country, first as an Airborne soldier, and lately as a voice for conservative and military thought in the ever-more important blogosphere.  Matt is now making the leap to the [...]

Obama’s foolish decision to pick a trade war with China has larger implications about his governing style, as Jennifer Rubin explains: [D]omestic political considerations and the good opinion of his base are more important to Obama than just about any other concern. That seems to be the motivating factor in a lot of what he does. [...]

Here’s a simple quiz to see whether you’re a racist: 1.  It’s got yellow and black bands, it’s fuzzy, it flies, and it makes honey.  It is a a.  Turkey vulture b.  Bee c.  Woodpecker d.  Barack Obama [Yes, the correct answer is b.] 2.  It’s orange, it grows on trees, it’s used to make [...]

Heard it on the radio today and had to share: I still remember back in high school, when I was already deeply enmeshed in my bookish ways, hearing a classmate look at me with complete awe when I admitted to liking Earth, Wind & Fire.  Apparently they had me pegged as a Lawrence Welk type.

(Heated, perhaps overheated, rant to follow:) If you like Seinfeld, and especially if you like Bapu, watch the whole video.  Otherwise, just watch from 2:14-2:22. “He’s a bad man.  He’s a very, very bad man.” That’s all I could think of when I read that today, on the 70th Anniversary of Poland’s invasion by the [...]

Long before the inflammatory ACORN videotapes emerged, I always looked at that little ACORN logo and thought that it was a surprisingly phallic design.  Confederate Yankee has now put the whole thing into its proper context.

Here, she explains why Joe Wilson, although impolite, was completely correct when he straightforwardly accused Obama of lying about illegals and health care.

I should have posted this yesterday but, since late is better than never, I post it today.  I am reminded, watching this video, of the absolutely beautiful way in which Swayze used his body.  Some people can be trained to dance, and some are just born dancers:

I’m a migraine sufferer, but otherwise a very healthy person.  I’ve always likened my migraines to aphids on an otherwise healthy plant — they’re external to the real me, although they can cause plenty of damage.  This LA Times editorial, which has the decency to recognize just how appalling the ACORN exposes are, nevertheless advances [...]

I don’t have a big post in mind, but I read so much interesting stuff that I want to pass onto you: I’ve been claiming for more than a year that Obama is a malignant narcissist.  Robyn of Berkeley, a recovering liberal and a mental health specialist, thinks so too. When even the biggest fans [...]

This is not a story about an operation gone wrong. It’s a story about the dangers of surgeons who will do anything for a woman who shows up with enough money. Anything.

The ACORN employee is a complete psychopath — and might have been discounted had it not been for the fact that this is the fourth video in a series showing psychopathic employees.

Whenever I read the news, I’m being told that those who disagree with Obama do so based on his color.  Ordinary Americans simply can’t handle a black man in a power position and reflexively disagree with him and wish him ill.  It’s not even personal, we’re told.  It’s just that we’re bone-deep racists. When Joe [...]

My gosh!  Stuff is flying out all over the place.  Iwas just explaining centrifugal force to my son today, and discussing the energy required to make a moving object move on a curve.  Since he first appeared on the scene, Obama and his facilitator, the MSM, have both been working overtime energy-wise to curve data [...]
