Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In today’s news, we learned that Muslims in Libya kidnapped twelve men that they claimed were homosexuals in order to execute them: Extremists say they will execute a dozen men they allege are homosexuals, whom they abducted last Thursday at a private party in Tripoli’s Ain Zara district. A body

Continue readingAfter a lovely long weekend with family, we’re getting in the car today and heading home. If things go well, the drive should take about seven hours. If we get stuck in holiday traffic (as happened when we drove down), we’re looking at nine hours on the road. I might
Continue reading(iPad wiped all my hyperlinks, so if you’re interested in the security programs I mention, you’ll have to search then yourself.) A friend’s email got hacked. This led to a discussion with a very knowledgeable person about the risks she now faces. Upon realizing she was hacked, she immediately changed
Continue readingI’ve been spending a delightful Thanksgiving with my in-laws. They have an almost ridiculously comfortable home and they provided a postcard perfect Thanksgiving dinner last night. Today, I’m in the usual post-Thanksgiving coma, and am finding it almost impossible to martial my thoughts or to deal with the difficulties of
Continue readingWho knew that Susan Rice was a Thomas Gray lover? He was the poet who, in his widely forgotten “Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College,” penned the unforgettable line that, “where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” Rice, whom Obama would like to have serve as

Continue readingOn Monday, I noted that ObamaCare regulations requiring employers to provide full (really full) insurance coverage to all employees may make running restaurants, which have a famously low profit margin, so prohibitively expensive that many will go out of business. It turns out that we needn’t fear this eventuality, because
Continue readingI have to admit that I can’t stomach more than one or two seconds at a time of Rachel Maddow. She’s such a party hack that, even if one stops pretending that she’s a journalist, she doesn’t come anywhere near being entertaining. She’s also in touch with her Leftism by
Continue readingOne of the really icky things about the Left is that it lacks a moral compass. There is no good or evil. There are only evil haves and victimized have-nots. In a sane moral universe, cultural arbiters would readily be able to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys
Continue readingI don’t eat fish as often as I should. I don’t particularly like fish’s taste and I hate handling fish. I have a very sensitive nose and that smell on my fingers drives me bonkers. My husband, however, does like fish and so, when he shops at Costco, he occasionally

Did they have names like Big Kahuna and look like this? “Yo, dude, I’m like going to, you know, like, attack the man. It’ll be, like, totally tubular.” No?

Wisely, considering the hacking Israeli websites are experiencing, the Israeli Defense Force site, which hosts this counter, checks
