Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Mr. Bookworm is catching up with the Jon Stewart episodes he missed while we were away. One particular segment, which starts at the 2 minute mark, caught my eye. In it, Perry talks about love for country, clearly distinguishing himself from Obama, who hasn’t shown such love, either explicitly or
Continue readingBy now you’ve heard that the President, who’s been sitting on his jobs speech for days, if not weeks (or maybe years), has suddenly announced that he’s going to give it on the same night as a Republican presidential candidate debate that’s been schedule for months. It’s a tacky gesture,
Continue readingA couple of years ago, I wrote that, when it came to the media love affair with the Obamas, the scales fell from my Mom’s eyes when Time had a cover touting Michelle Obama as the most beautiful, stylish woman since Jackie O. My Mom refused to accept this as
Continue readingThe Wall Street Journal is a well edited newspaper, and it usually offers little in the way of “corrections” amusement, at least not when compared to The New York Times. Even Caesar slips up occasionally, as you will see when you examine the two pictures illustrating this review of a
Continue readingOne of the big issues heating up for the election is “science.” I noted the other day that Krugman has thrown down the gauntlet, saying that the Republicans are returning us to a flat earth world, and, many, including Roger L. Simon, have picked it up, pointing out that Krugman
Continue readingI couldn’t figure out if this was real or scripted — and by real, I mean that the computer algorithms were really playing through by themselves — but I enjoyed it nevertheless: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnzlbyTZsQY[/youtube]
Continue readingZombie got in some serious exercise on Saturday, trotting back and forth between a Tea Party rally and a Green Party goof up in Napa, California. Check it out, and take to heart the final message, which is about the one thing that trumps politics.
Continue readingThe post title is a bit misleading. I actually mean that I can’t blog now, as opposed to talk now, but it is true that I’m very, very busy with deep thoughts. I’m working on a new project, having tons of fun, learning lots, and my mind is bubbling with
Continue readingIMPORTANT UPDATE: Thank goodness for DQ. He went back AJ Strata’s original post, and discovered that, since first writing it up, AJ thinks the whole story may be a fake. My apologies to the President and to you for relaying this fable. The one thing that disappoints me is that
Continue readingSometimes a post just nails things at every level and explains so much. That’s the case with a Front Page Magazine article about feminism and Marxism. I especially loved this: Phyllis Schlafly, who has spent a lifetime pointing out liberal hypocrisy on issues of gender, says that it’s no wonder
Continue readingPaul Krugman, aided by more than 500 commenters, launched a hysterical rant about the Republican war on science, all of which is embodied in Perry’s skepticism about anthropogenic global warming. Krugman and his acolytes are unanimous in their opinion: Republicans are anti-scientific, book burning, people burning, Galileo hating, troglodytes. (Neither
Continue readingI’ve never liked Colin Powell. I always viewed him as a political hack, despite his military chops. My dislike for him increased exponentially when I read one of Bob Woodward’s hatchet jobs on George W. Bush and quickly realized that Powell was Woodward’s main source. Although Woodward didn’t say that,
Continue readingI’ve been saying for years that Obama, off teleprompter, is a terrible speaker. Not just boring, but structurally awful. Turns out that, as it is now, so was it always. Nothing has changed. Without an editor at his side, Obama is not the luminous prose poet who wrote Dreams. He’s
Continue readingSorry to have vanished completely. I got a migraine that knocked me off my feet. I’m heading back to real life now (to the point where I’ve actually turned my computer on), but my brain is not functioning fully. Of course, some might say that’s a good thing…. I’ll try
Continue readingAt Ricochet, Patrick Gibbs is thinking about the 2012 election and the need for good slogans. Since you guys are the best, I thought you’d like to pitch in here or, if you’re Ricochet members, over at Gibbs’ post. You already know my contribution: “Barack Obama: Why we pay double
