One of the things I like about Neo’s posts is that she develops them so meticulously. In one her latest posts, she takes on the growing disenchantment with Obama, not just from conservatives, who were primed to be disenchanted, but from liberals who nevertheless were not prepared for someone as extreme as he has proven [...]

For all the hue and cry surrounding the 8 years of Bush/Cheney and the absence of WMD’s, the real WMD story broke this week:
WMD’s FOUND in D.C.
The heretofore unknown weapon’s grade is Weymouth, Medicine, Democrats/Denial
Katherine Weymouth, owner of the Washington Post, denied promoting the immediate destruction of the USA by selling access to what [...]

I posted a Bee Gees video here a couple of weeks ago, as the beginning of my ongoing tribute to singing siblings. It turns out that the Bee Gees are useful for more than just rockin’ out. They can keep you alive:
Debra Bader was taking a walk in the woods with her 53-year-old husband one [...]

A US soldier (or Marine) was captured in Afghanistan. We know what that means, and it’s not the Geneva convention. I don’t know whether thoughts and prayers and wishes can help, but I do know that they can’t hurt.

Actually, this column isn’t really a must-read for you guys, who already understand that the Left is deeply antisemitic and that its poison is spreading. Instead, this article is a must-read for those of you who find yourselves surrounded (as I do) by people who insist that the Democratic party is a Jewish haven, as [...]

I wrote this in an email to some friends, but feel like broadcasting it more widely:
Oh, for a brain and a heart in the White House. It’s bad enough that the American people, by electing Obama and a monolithic Dem majority, have damned America. It’s the fallout in other nations that’s so awful. Should Israel [...]

“They just harnessed me up and dipped me down in the water and I grabbed her and the crane drug her to the boat and that’s it,” Oglesbee said. “What are you going to do if she’s like that? It’s no big deal. The whole crew did it.”
So spoke Jason Oglesbee after being the last [...]

Seraphic Secret got it from JoshuaPundit, who found it at the source — PoliticalMath. Watch this video, and then make a mental note of where to find it the next time a liberal counters criticism of Obama’s spending by pointing to Bush’s spending. While it’s true that latter (shame on him) took us for a [...]

I understand that some of you are having problems coming to grips with the fact that I included Donny and Marie in my sibling line-up. Just be grateful that I didn’t do a Jackson 5 post. (It seemed inappropriate this week.) To help get the bad taste out of your mouths, let me present the [...]

Donny and Marie were a genuinely talented and personable duo, but I never liked their songs. Nevertheless, they have a place in the panetheon of sibling singers, so here they are — Donny and Marie Osmond:

Al Franken is entering the Senate, and I’m trying to figure out a procedural way around a Labor Commissioners unbearably stupid ruling.
My wonderful, scintillating email group is arguing like crazy over peripheral matters because central matters all seem to have been sucked irrevocably into the black hole of Obama politics.
The brilliant, but absolutely lacking in [...]

I’ve finally gotten around to reading the news, and have nothing to say. Obama is staying true to form and backing a dictatorship, this one in Honduras. The Supreme Court is poised on a knife’s edge, with four justices thinking it’s perfectly okay to discriminate against people based upon their lack of color. Iranians are [...]

I’m beginning to believe that PETA has been taken over by saboteurs who are trying to destroy the organization by making it look unbelievably stupid:
“Hali-BUT! Hali-BUT! Heyyyyyy!” six men scream in unison. “Goin’ right home! Goin’ right home!” The counterman catches the hurtling fish neatly between the head and tail fin and slaps it onto [...]

My husband was in the City for a conference, so he caught part of the SF Gay Pride Parade. He said that there was an enormous group of gay Jews in the parade. The last part of this group had huge signs proclaiming anti-Zionist Jews for Palestine. They got incredible applause from the crowd.
And now [...]

A very bright Marin professional told me she’s incredibly excited about the proposed Obama health care plan, because the government is certain to be more efficient than the market. When I suggested that the market might be more efficient if we took away the thousands of regulations that impeded it, allowing it to function more [...]

I’ve already been to the swim meet and back, worked out at the dojo, and am going back to the swim meet. Blogging will not be a happening thing. However, I love doing open threads because all of you post such interesting stuff.
Also, I’m using this space for a little more sibling music.

From Richard Baehr:
218 needed to win…Call your Congressman or Congresswoman, or congressmen in other states too. The Waxman Markey bill will do two things-
1. raise the price of energy in the US for all income levels (an energy tax that is regressive- it will hit lower income families more than high income families), and
2. [...]
