Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I asked Mr. Bookworm if he wished that there could be a Democratic primary, so that he could have the choice of a Democratic presidential candidate other than Obama. After all, I reminded him, back in 1980, a lot of Democrats wished that they could have voted for someone other
Continue readingDo you ever listen to Frank Caliendo? He’s a talented impressionist who spends much of his time ragging on John Madden. One of the things Caliendo claims that Madden does is restate his premise as if it’s a different conclusion, i.e., “Here’s a guy with mud on his jersey. When

Occasional word soup from someone in the hot seat all the time is okay, but the appalling ignorance is pretty unforgivable. Don’t believe me? Watch it yourself: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJfsLafye4[/youtube] UPDATE: Welcome, I Own The

Just watch this fabulous video to find out and also explore how a significant Lefty segment of the population can live within a totally alternative reality created from abstract emotions and insulated from facts. We’ve already had evidence of this phenomenon on this blog, but
Continue readingI’m deeply impressed by the integrity of those peace activists who are willing to challenge Obama, just as they did Bush. They are free from the hypocrisy of those who took to the streets for one president while giving the next a pass. Having said that, war is a useful

Continue readingIn the wake of Weinergate, a lot of people were pointing out that Weiner left himself open to some serious blackmail. Given the fact that he’s not a fishmonger but is, instead, a member of Congress, the blackmail implications affect all of us. It turns out, though, that this may

Continue readingIt seems to me that, nowadays, famous people might want to disassociate themselves from their tweets. Not so BHO: This week, the Obama 2012 campaign took over the duties of manning the president’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. Updates will likely come from staff for the most part, but when the

Continue readingTo many of us, the Carter-Obama analogy is a no-brainer. Whether one looks to failing economies, rising oil prices, despair, Iranian troubles, arrogance, etc., the two are joined at the hip. Conservatives hope that the similarities extend to Obama’s being a one-term president. Jay Cost warns, though, that while their
