Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Obama has been doing his darndest to tie himself to the Kennedy’s, right down to hiring Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg for his Vice President investigation committee. Hillary, inartfully, also made the Kennedy-Obama link with her references to June assassinations. (What was the woman thinking? She was historically accurate, but she must
Continue readingPaul Newman has managed to emerge from Hollywood as one of the good guys. Ridiculously handsome in his youth, he aged into an equally good looking old man. In a milieu characterized by disposable weddings, he’s had one wife. He’s raised millions for charity, without making a big political statement
Continue readingThe 152-year old Governor’s Mansion in Austin, Texas, is just about one of the prettiest Southern, Greek-revival style buildings you’ll ever see. Or should I say, you ever saw (past tense). News is out this morning that a “catastrophic” fire raced through the building, and the photo accompanying this story
Continue readingThere is a horrific story out of Japan today about a man who crashed a truck into a crowd of people, and then proceeded to complete the carnage by stabbing as many of them as possible. The story says that the man ended his spree only when surrounded by police:
Continue readingFrom the teleprompter, that is. The guy’s oratorical skills decline rapidly without a script, don’t they? He makes Dan Quayle look like the prodigy of extemporaneous speaking. Clearly, this guy needs a little less blind adulation, and a little more time at Toastmasters. I have said all along that Obama
Continue readingRemember a year and a half ago when the MSM, directly and indirectly, assured us that Hillary’s candidacy was inevitable?
Continue readingI’ve been hearing a lot about trophy wives lately, since I recently learned that, in one of the very affluent communities near me, the nouveau riche, desperate as always to assert their status on the social hierarchy, have begun wife swapping. Apparently it just wasn’t good enough any more to
Continue readingThis has been a very, very long day. The morning was the usual stuff: swim meets, shopping, house cleaning, choral concerts, but the afternoon was a doozy. I had my son’s birthday party this afternoon, and had invited only the neighborhood boys, who are a very nice, albeit somewhat rambunctious
Continue readingSwim meet, concert, birthday party — whew! It’s definitely one of those days, so blogging will be nonexistent for a while. Please feel free to use this as an open thread. If your comments get sucked into “spam” or “moderation” (a problem I’ve almost, but not completely, solved), I’ll retrieve
Continue readingI can’t add anything to this that you haven’t already thought of yourselves: A solicitor who specialises in representing terror suspects and tells them not to cooperate with police was paid almost £1 million in legal aid last year. Muddassar Arani’s firm represented Abu Hamza, dirty bomb plotter Dhirin Barot
Continue readingWe know that Obama is just like any other human being, only perhaps more flawed. Aside from being your average bright law school grad, he smells bad in the morning (or so his wife says); he speaks his mind even when there’s nothing in it; he hangs around with some
Continue readingI got this as an email and had to share it with all of you. (Thanks, W”B”S.) WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME: When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard….
Continue reading…And you want to let the San Francisco Board of Education know how seriously displeased you are about its decision to get rid of JROTC, you can do something about it: A group fighting to keep the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps in San Francisco high schools is beginning a
Continue readingLife isn’t always fair, but San Francisco is bound and determined to make it so. Apparently, they’re now hoping to have television police — yup, police to make sure that television sets in public places (including private businesses open to the public), have to be configured with close-captioning. Close-captioning is
Continue readingMona Charen provides ample evidence proving that the 61% of American Jews who claim to support both Israel and Obama are suffering from dangerous cognitive dissonance — and she didn’t even include the mere 24 hours it took for Obama to flip-flop on Jerusalem.
