Breaking up is hard to do

It’s a perfectly matched set. Begin with Iowahawk, to enjoy the ultimate break-up. Now that you’re laughing, see how it happens in the real world:

I know a shallow intellect when I see it — or why Obama’s carpet and Jan Brewer’s brain freeze are two sides of the same coin

When I was in high school, I developed a trick to make myself look smarter. I learned the beginning of a few key quotations, all tied into the classical literary or historic canon. At appropriate moments in a conversation, I’d start the quote, and then quickly trail off, as if I didn’t want to bore [...]
Focusing conservative energy on the battleground states
Bookworm on Sep 04 2010 | Filed under: Uncategorized
The Strata-Sphere explains where conservative energy needs to go. (And be patient if the site doesn’t load. Apparently it’s been hinky.) Bottom line: Washington, California and Wisconsin are the Senate races to watch. They could be the real game changers. Here in California, I know that I’m voting for Carly. Are you? Here’s where the [...]
New technologies = new wealth; or the rich get richer, but the poor don’t get poorer *UPDATED*
Bookworm on Sep 03 2010 | Filed under: Economics
One of the great Marxist fallacies is that there is only so much pie to go around. We know that changing human efficiencies put the lie to this, but the liberals still live in a small pie world. That’s why you end up with Robert Reich, who ought to know better, trying to compare today’s [...]
Yes, I miss him *UPDATED*
Bookworm on Sep 03 2010 | Filed under: 9/11, Barack Obama
On the one hand, we have a little man (figuratively speaking), sitting at a big, empty desk, speaking in deadened tones and flat words, as his eyes roam relentlessly back and forth between his teleprompter, desperately avoiding the single word that so aptly sums up American bravery and sacrifice: Victory! And on the other hand, [...]
Where your money is going *UPDATED*
Bookworm on Sep 02 2010 | Filed under: Uncategorized
As I’ve mentioned, the money that my readers kindly deposit into my PayPal account is money I earmark for conservative activities. (I feel that the blog is very much mine, so it’s not as offensive to my husband’s liberal sensibilities to use this money, as opposed to household money, for purely political activities.) Today, I [...]
Scary stuff for Democrats: Americans rediscover the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution

The next generation — and why their brains will resemble, and be as useful as, overcooked oatmeal

Just a reminder that Zombie has been writing all week about the horrible state of American public school education, which has been multiculturalized and politicized into meaninglessness. The most recent installment is here. (At the top of the article, you’ll see links to the previous three chapters in this depressing book.)
A German economist bemoans the decline of Americanism
Bookworm on Sep 02 2010 | Filed under: America, Economics, Europe
In Der Spiegel, of all places, one finds an article bemoaning, loudly and strongly, the profound mistake inherent in the Democrats’ Europeanization of America: The Obama administration and the Federal Reserve want to fix the United States economy by spending more money. But while that approach might work for Europe, it is risky for the [...]

One of the cleverest commercials I’ve seen in ages
Bookworm on Sep 02 2010 | Filed under: Silly Stuff
I love the product and I love the commercial. This one really deserves lots and lots of airplay:
But who created the laws of physics?
Bookworm on Sep 02 2010 | Filed under: Uncategorized
Just asking. And why is it somehow more intellectually chic to believe in aliens than in God? What’s really embarrassing that it is an atheist (that would be me) who has to ask these questions.
She talks facts; they hurl personal insults at her
Bookworm on Sep 02 2010 | Filed under: African-Americans
Typical liberal/conservative dialog, with the kicker being that the players are black. The young woman arguing the conservative case has great moral courage, and beautifully handles the insults and misinformation hurled at her: H/t: Danny Lemieux

Government uses religion to interfere with private company’s product

Abercrombie & Fitch is all about “the look.” I mean, the whole point of the store is to get people, especially young people, to cough up money for “the look.” To this end, the ads are soft porn, all aimed at showing the ultimate sexy cool. Have I mentioned that I hate the whole Abercrombie [...]
Crazy insane work load open thread *UPDATED*
Bookworm on Sep 01 2010 | Filed under: Open Threads
After a year of professional drought, I’m having a week of deluge. Blogging will continue light at least through tomorrow. I’m grateful for the money this will generate, but I could wish for a steadier, less hysterical work load. Of course, next week, when this ends, I’ll be again bemoaning the lack of paying work. [...]
The streets of Paris

Edith Piaf sang often about Paris. I don’t think she envisioned this.
