Losing my feedback fix
As you can see, my blog still works. A technical glitch at the WordPress end, however, has locked me out of my stats. I’m now in serious withdrawal. I didn’t realize how hooked I was on stat checking. I’m still writing, but it’s enormously frustrating to me that I can’t
Continue readingMSM finally notices threats against politicians (sort of) *UPDATED*
From the moment Gov. Walker squared off against the public sector unions in Wisconsin, conservatives noticed something interesting: The mainstream media, which was all aflutter about politician safety after a paranoid schizophrenic aimed a gun at a Democratic Senator, wounding her and killing a heroic Republican judge), showed remarkable restraint
Continue readingWatcher of Weasels submissions
It’s rare for me to say this, but I’m going to have to skip this week’s vote, because I have neither the time nor the energy to give this week’s submissions (as well as the Honorable Mentions) the attention they deserve. However, just because I can’t read them doesn’t mean
Continue readingLong day
My mom had a mild TIA today. She’s doing well now, and they’re checking her meds to see if they contributed to the problem. I’m optimistic that, while she is aged enough to be ever closer to her Maker, today is not going to be the day. The whole experience
Continue readingA crazy man and an anti-capitalist paradigm
Crazy people — really crazy, the ones with serious schizophrenia or other mental illnesses — reflect the times. (And yes, you’ve heard me say this before.) In a pre-scientific era, they heard voices from God or the Devil. In the post-WWII era, the men from Mars spoke to them, and

Michelle Malkin’s family continues its non-stop search for her cousin, Marizela. As Michelle’s update explains, in addition to a dedicated website, there’s also a Paypal link to help defray mounting expenses.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns, market collapses, Middle Eastern turmoil . . . . It’s been a busy week news-wise. So you want to know what the hottest story is? None of the above. Per Allahpundit, the absolute hottest story is this video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=678sm5rGqKg[/youtube] The story behind the video is that
Continue readingA true Kindle bargain
I wrote yesterday about the vagaries of buying books on Kindle. I look for the cheap stuff and, occasionally, I get very, very lucky. Michael Walsh, a National Review contributor, has just put out one of his own books out on Kindle for an introductory price of $0.99. The book

Please, somebody explain this to me. I’ve heard it reported that the original problems with the reactors were caused by the power going off when the earthquake hit. Of all places, wouldn’t one expect a nuclear power plant to have a failsafe emergency backup power generator? Was there no such backup power or
Continue reading“We have met the enemy and it is US”
The two competing news stories — Japan’s nuclear reactor and the unstable narrative in the Middle East — provides the best illustration I’ve ever seen of the fears that move Progressives and conservatives. Progressives fear us: Westerners. They fear our technology and our values. The nuclear reactors, while currently just

Accepting as true the narrative that Ray Davis is indeed a CIA contractor, and was working undercover in Pakistan, one of our most dangerous “friends” in the world, I am very happy to report that Davis is free and heading home. (I say “accepting as true” because, even assuming Davis

Or just an incredibly sweet and funny video? You decide.

Poor Cassandra was cursed by the Gods with the gift of making accurate prophecies that no one would believe. The disasters she foresaw always came true, but she was helpless to stop people (and nations) from racing towards their doom. The endings were always so terrible — and Cassandra was
