Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I think I blog, at least sometimes, because it’s the emotional equivalent of going on a bender when the other things in my life are overwhelming. I should be working now, but I’m at my Mom’s place because she isn’t feeling well. I’m not actually sure I should be worried.
Continue readingNewsFifty is a nifty new site that collects headlines from the 50 states. In addition to a home page that aggregates lead headlines from all the states in one place (sort of like an all-American Drudge), it also has links that easily take you to much more detailed headlines for
Continue readingI’m a libertarian and a child of San Francisco in the 1970s. What this means is that I believe, very strongly, that people should be allowed to engage in same sex relationships. I also believe that people who are homosexual (and any subset of that, such as lesbian, bisexual, etc.),
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I included in a post the statement that Barack Obama is anti-American. A dear and respected friend suggested that I was exaggerating. Obama may have a different vision of or goal for America, he said, but that’s scarcely the same as being anti-American. I’ve been

Continue readingI must have been tired, since I slept for almost 11 hours. Not surprising, I guess, considering the chronic insomnia that plagues me and the usual 5-6 hour nights. I’m feeling quite good right now, although I have a little bit of a sleep hangover. It would be a great

Continue readingI’m feeling demoralized today. I think the news is getting to me — or maybe it’s just the inevitable return to earth after the giddy pleasures of Fleet Week. Regardless, I could use some cheering up. I started the work of cheering myself up with a Spengler article pointing out
Continue readingDiversity Lane, A Liberal Family Saga, isn’t really a cartoon “strip,” because it’s a single daily cartoon, not a daily series of panels. Nevertheless, it always involves the same set of characters and their comments on the political scene — kind of like Doonesbury. The only difference is that, unlike
Continue readingObama’s media attack dog, Anita Dunn, was caught saying that Chairman Mao is one of her two favorite political philosophers, with Mother Teresa occupying the other spot: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiBDpL2dExY[/youtube] Dunn is now claiming, in effect, that, “Hey, I was only joking to make a rhetorical point.” A joke, huh? Well, if
Continue readingI happen to know, because I gave notice here at this blog and because I’m in touch with the organizers, that large numbers of conservatives and independents were planning on protesting Barack Obama’s appearance in San Francisco. I also know, again because I noted it here, that Obama was afraid

Continue readingIn line at a Whole Foods in San Francisco, I found myself behind a gaggle of giggling girls wearing “stop global warming” t-shirts and backpacks festooned with buttons celebrating the fact that they are “proud community activists,” and socially responsible vegetarians (“meat isn’t green”). They were also flaunting Che buttons
Continue readingPlease remind me what the 250 million Muslims pressing down on, and anxious to destroy, Israel have accomplished. I can’t remember. Israel, however, has generated more life-improving inventions than one can shake a stick at, and they’ve just added an another one to that lengthy roster.
