Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I attended the Marin GroupaPalooza, and did a tongue in cheek blog post here, imagining how a Progressive would have perceived the event. John Yoo has just published his take on the event, which is straightforward and clear — and nicely rebuts Obama’s (and the rest of the Left’s) paranoid
Continue readingEarlier today, I blogged about the problem of sourcing material: information is only as good as the publisher’s knowledge and honesty. It appears that Elizabeth Warren, whom Obama unilaterally (that is, without Congressional oversight) appointed to meddle in consumer financing, is guilty of letting ideology corrupt research. I wouldn’t doubt
Continue readingI’ve heard from various people that, once the midterm elections are over, with the only real questions being (1) whether the Republicans also take the Senate and (2) by how much they take the House, Obama will change his tune. After all, Bill Clinton did, and he emerged from the
Continue readingBarry Rubin thinks he knows. I would say “what a sad, pathetic little man,” except for the fact that his “sad, pathetic little man” is one of the richest people in the world, and is using his personal pathologies to destroy a nation and its people.
Continue readingI think science supports my disbelief in man-made global warming (aka, AGW). I won’t go into the details now, but that’s the conclusion I’ve reached after reading a lot of the literature (including Brian Sussman’s Climategate: A Veteran Meteorologist Exposes the Global Warming Scam). I didn’t reach that conclusion based
Continue readingHBO has recently premiered Boardwalk Empire, a lavish new series that seeks to recreate Atlantic City chicanery during the Prohibition era. HBO really went to town on this one. Not only did it get Martin Scorcese to direct (leading me to ask my husband, disingenuously, “didn’t he used to direct
Continue readingDid you know that the last Sunday in September is Gold Star Mother’s Day, which is a day meant for Americans to honor mothers who have lost a son or daughter who was serving in the United States Armed Forces? It won’t surprise you, I’m sure, to learn that, on
Continue readingOne of the routine accusations leveled against socialism is that it seeks to usurp the role of the adult in society. If the government provides cradle to grave care, the people don’t have to. They don’t have to raise their children, they don’t have to feed their families, they don’t
Continue readingThis is an open apology — I fell behind on my email, and started sorting like mad, to preserve the wheat, while archiving the chaff. Unfortunately, in my frenzy, I seem to have archived a bunch of substantive emails to you, my friends. So if you wrote me and I
Continue readingWhen I was studying for the State Bar exam, a long, long time ago, my mom suggested that I get myself a massage, to help me with the tension. It seemed like a good suggestion, I so dutifully took myself to a highly recommended masseuse. The masseuse began working on
Continue readingI’m heading off to a client, so I don’t have time to blog. Here’s all you need to know: Rep. Alan Grayson is despicable, even by the low standards of despicable-ness currently emanating from the Democratic party. His Republican opponent, Daniel Webster (and isn’t that a great American name) is
Continue readingA little imp made me tell my Progressive friend that I would be attending the Bay Area Patriots‘ GroupaPalooza, which is, essentially, a convention for the small but robust number of conservatives in the Bay Area. I’ve mentioned this friend before. He’s the one who assured me that the Tea
Continue readingMistakes happen, but this was such a stupid mistake, from an organization tasked with knowing how to do these things correctly.
Continue readingWhen President Obama actually said bad things about Ahmadinejad’s remark (“hateful,” “disgusting,” etc.), I ought to have been delighted. But I wasn’t. And J.E. Dyer perfectly articulates why Obama’s little moment of outrage about A-jad’s speech left me cold. Basically, we’re having government by a teenager. His speech was the
Continue readingThe same friend who sent me the video below commented that, for conservatives, part of Christie’s enormous appeal is that he is a grown up: he makes tough decisions, he’s honest, he won’t let the people around him behave like teenagers (and that’s exactly how Leftists behave), he doesn’t care
