Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One more thing, related in a way to the SF mural post I did earlier. Yesterday, I did a post about that amazing collection of photographs that came to the US Holocaust Memorial, showing photos of the Auschwitz staff (guards/management) at play. My post was fairly banal, in that I
Continue readingSan Francisco’s Mission District is, demographically, a primarily Hispanic district (about 50%), with the remainder of the population being White and Asian. Traditionally, it’s been a mixture of immigrants (legal and illegal), poor, working-class, and artsy-funky. It’s in the news today because the District used a $34,000 City-funded grant to
Continue readingIf I didn’t say this would happen over and over again, I certainly hinted at it or, at least, laid the groundwork for its inevitability. I’ll just add here that it’s the height of chutzpah that Hillary (by proxy) is leading the attack against Rudy Giuliani on marital grounds. Unlike
Continue readingMuch cyber-ink was spilled today about Ahmadinejad’s insistence that he visit Ground Zero. The upset, of course, was that we knew he wanted to go there, not to mourn, but to gloat. As it is, the matter was a tempest in a teapot, since his request was denied. (But see

Continue readingThe United States Holocaust Memorial Museum received an unusual donation last Christmas: a photo album taken during the last year of Auschwitz. But unlike all our other images of Auschwitz, which show the horrors visited on the camps’ victims, this one shows the perpetrators at play. It’s mind-bending to see
Continue readingJohn Hawkins, at Right Wing News, sent out a poll to conservative bloggers asking them about political issues of the day, such as Larry Craig, the 2008 elections, patriotism and religion. You’ll find the results here. Would you have answered the questions as the majority of responding bloggers did? I
Continue readingI’ve now visited five different sites that have urged people to read Michael J. Totten’s Anbar Awakens Part II : Hell is Over. I did, and I now urge you to read it too. It paints a huge paradigm shift in that troubled region which, if it can have a
Continue readingDrudge proves himself to be a good sport by linking to a Joe Klein post at Time Magazine’s website, in which Klein savages Drudge. Drudge is probably more than a good sport, though. He’s smart, too, because all that the post does is make Klein look like an idiot. Here
Continue readingI have increasingly less doubt that Israel’s raid into Syria was intended to knock out some sort of three way nuclear transaction involving Syria, North Korea and Iran. This is especially true given the absence of huffing and puffing from anyone, including Syria, about what Israel did. Syria wants to

Continue readingOne of the things the anti-War movement does is obsess on the war dead. They say they do it out of respect but, their protests notwithstanding, their antics always look remarkably as if they’re pushing bodies in front of the American public so as to advance their agenda that war,
Continue readingFirst there were wrongful birth lawsuits tied to botched abortions. Now there is a wrongful birth lawsuit tied to over-enthusiastic in vitro fertilization: SYDNEY — A lesbian couple are seeking damages from their doctor after one gave birth to twins after fertility treatment, rather than a single baby. The women,

Continue readingThe Terrorism Awareness Project has a compelling slide show exposing just how far-reaching Jimmy Carter’s war on the Jews is, and the myriad lies on which his position is based. Christopher Hitchens supports the US decision to disband Hussein’s army in Iraq and to build a new army (and takes
