Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the enjoyable things we did on our recent vacation was to visit the San Diego Zoo, which is really a most impressive place that I can recommend to all those who find themselves in that neck of the woods. The Zoo covers 100 acres and has thousands of

Continue readingApologies for not doing justice to the last round of Weasel results, but I just looked at my watch and realized that I’m on carpool duty — again. So briefly and with congratulations to the very deserving winners: Council posts: 2 2/3 My Excellent Adventure At Yearlykos Right Wing Nut
Continue readingI guiltily admit that I haven’t paid too much attention to Mike Huckabee, not because I disagree with his politics, but because I’ve been focusing on the Republican front runners. With a lot of front runners, even if one falls, there are so many more to take his place, it
Continue readingI’ve blogged before about San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly’s prior attacks on the Blue Angels. He tried in the spring and, when bloggers focused the spotlight on his attempt to ground them, he backed off. He’s trying again now. Tonight’s vote will decide whether the matter passes out of committee
Continue readingFrom Earl, I got some insight into the machinery that’s used to track the climate change that’s in the headlines all of the time. This is information clearly a matched set with the information that a Y2K bug may well be the culprit behind the sudden sky rocketing in US
Continue readingLaer has a very interesting question. At his blog, he relates the tragic story of two immigrants who were murdered by a man who then turned the gun on himself, killing himself before he could be arrested. Laer asks if justice can ever be served when the perpetrator avoids the
Continue readingIn my preceding post, I asked you to watch this space as I gather together stuff to blog about. As I take the time to do that (and intersperse that with time spent running the carpools), I suggest that, if you haven’t already seen it, you take the time to
Continue readingI’m back! It was a good vacation, and I’ll have some thoughts about it later, but mostly I’m just soooooo glad to be home. I am, to use an old fashioned expression, a homebody, and I just love the moment of returning from the trip. Returns can be as tiring
Continue readingI’ve talked in posts past about the benefit a draft would have on the American character. I think it would be good for young people to get two years of strong discipline, and I think it would be good for race relations in this country to have all young people

Continue readingI’m about to head off on my own vacation and Bookworm isn’t due back until Monday, so I don’t know how much blogging she’ll have a chance to do. Thanks to all of you who have chimed in on the discussions the last few weeks. The Bookwormroom readers really are the most intelligent,
Continue readingSneaking in a little blogging, in bite size pieces. Disney is the most perfectly realized theme park there is — and the best managed. The others may have great rides or attractions, but they fail complete at the level of detailed perfection that is so natural to Disney. We’ve now
Continue readingNot much time to blog today, so I give the Bookwormroom readers a challenge. As a child of the 60’s I remember (barely) when Americans were optimistic. Most Americans of the 1950s believed the “march of progress” was a very real thing. The world was constantly improving and America was
