Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This is an extraordinary 9+ minute video. Carve out the time to watch it. But remember: it’s not all Obama’s fault. The American people elected this man. They share the blame and the responsibility: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK_6dzE7bxs[/youtube] Hat tip: Lulu
Continue readingYou’ve long suspected it, but now we know it’s true: objectively speaking, conservative political candidates are indeed better looking: Rightwing candidates are better looking than their leftwing counterparts, something they benefit from during elections, according to a study conducted by Swedish and Finnish economists. The economists who conducted the study
Continue readingI love my son dearly and he dearly loves me right back. He’s bright, exceptionally well-coordinated and, if I do say so myself, he’s very good-looking. He’s also selfish, hyper-competitive, lazy, ill-mannered and a total slob. I have been working for years on all those traits and there has definitely
Continue readingAs I read it, the latest insanity from Europe/England is as follows: woman gets government benefits; woman neglects to use those government benefits to pay rent on government housing; government housing tries to evict woman; the EU declares that eviction violates woman’s rights. Woman walks away both eating and having

One story you may already have read: an Iraqi living in Arizona was convicted

Watch the video and enjoy DrewM’s comment: I love the way he refuses to accept the premise of a number of her questions. It’s a skill I wish more political figures
Continue readingTaranto is always good. Sometimes, though, he’s great. That’s the case for his column today, which discusses (a) the difference between public and private sector unions and (b) the difference between Tea Party and union protests. He’s not saying anything you haven’t heard before or figured out for yourself; it’s
Continue readingIn the old days, medical treatment was more likely to kill than to cure. For example, one can make a good argument that George Washington died because his physicians bled him to death. It’s scarcely strange, then, that homeopathy was such a hit when it first appeared on the scene.
Continue readingRoger Simon, among others, has noted that the demonstrations in Madison demonstrate how old-fashioned the modern Left is, something that’s true despite the Left’s attempt to re-brand itself with the name “Progressive.” It therefore seemed appropriate for me to run again an article I wrote for American Thinker back in

Today, it’s the color of the man who dreamed of being America’s Leftist king: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQj-xBH30-I[/youtube] Is anybody else as creeped out by that video as I am? And another question, which has nothing to do with unions — Do you get the

Our own government has admitted that he “was part of a covert, C.I.A.-led team collecting intelligence and conducting surveillance on militant groups deep

Because this system left so much good stuff on the table, the Watcher of Weasels is adding
