Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here are some practical instructions for washing your fruits and vegetables. The link also includes some great commentary from a Jewish mother. At least, I assume she’s Jewish based on the tone. She could equally well be an all American Italian mother, or a Hispanic mother, but I’m quite sure
Continue readingI blogged yesterday about the former concentration camp guard who married a Jewish man, spent a lot of time working for Jewish charities, and never mentioned a word about her past. There was an interesting debate in the comments section about her motives and whether she was acting out of
Continue readingI’ve often opined that the Left is stuck in Gandhi mode. This is the believe that the only possible form of resistance is the non-violent type. To that, I always point out that this worked for Gandhi because the other side was England which, in those days, didn’t have the
Continue readingAlthough European venom seems to be leaking away as Europe’s Muslim immigrants turn against the Europeans themselves, Europe still holds remarkably jaundiced views of Israel. In a poll about a year ago (which I’m too lazy to dig up), Europeans opined that Israel was the greatest threat to world peace
Continue readingIf you go to this post, you’ll find a link to a slideshow that LGF’s Charles Johnson put together using photographs that someone took of the 35,000 person strong rally outside of the UN to support Israel. I just have a couple of comments. First, I wanted to note the

Continue readingVULGARITY ALERT. DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ SOMETHING SLIGHTLY VULGAR. My sister sent me this joke in an email. As she said, “it pretty much says it all.” A dedicated Teamsters’ union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check
Continue readingFrom Jonah Goldberg’s latest: The best book for illuminating what’s going on in the Muslim “street” isn’t some weighty treatise on Islam; it’s a short little tract called “White Guilt” by Shelby Steele. The book isn’t even about Islam. Steele focuses on white liberals and the black radicals who’ve been
Continue readingOne of the great things about Times Select, which represents the NY Times’ decision to charge for popular columnists, is that I no longer feel this masochist need to read Paul Krugman’s columns. When they were available for free, I always felt it was incumbent upon me to see what
Continue readingWhile the MSM has been castigating the Pope for his heavy-handed ignorance in daring to criticize Islam, more sophisticated theorists are noting that the Pope is no fool. He meant to say what he did, and he did it very skillfully. At least, that’s what the analysts at Stratfor who,
Continue readingHere is one truly amazing story: Those who knew San Francisco’s Elfriede Rinkel never found it remarkable that the German immigrant would marry a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, or attend synagogue with him, or plan to be buried next to him at a cemetery run by a Chevra Kadisha,
Continue readingA week or so ago, Laer posted fairly lightheartedly about a Sudanese man and his goat, and I sent you over there (along with a bad joke). The same bestiality issue in that story appears in a more serious vein, with someone losing a job for stating a fact, which
Continue readingI don’t know what they’re doing in public school, but it’s not teaching. Every single bit of homework my children bring home means a minimum of an hour’s worth of homeschooling for me. They know nothing and they’re not being taught anything. Grumble, gripe, grrrrrrr! I’m pretty damn sure my
Continue readingYou can read the whole speech here. These are just bits I really liked: Some of the changes in the Middle East have been dramatic, and we see the results in this chamber. Five years ago, Afghanistan was ruled by the brutal Taliban regime, and its seat in this body
Continue readingJonah Goldberg has a great point today, and one I think I touched upon about a year ago: it wouldn’t be a desperately bad thing if the Democrats were to win the House in 2006. I don’t think Americans, ultimately, will be that thrilled with Democratic rule, and it will
