Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As you may recall, I said at the beginning of the summer that I was going to introduce capitalism into the house by giving my children big chores with meaningful rewards. This plan worked fairly well. It wasn’t quite the juggernaut I’d hoped for, with the kids taking care of
Continue readingThanks to ex cathedra, I’ve learned that the guy in that fun video in my post yesterday has prepared a tighter video statement of his conservative beliefs: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acQluy7nymw[/youtube] In commenting on the video, USMaleSF notes that he agrees with the conservative principles, but not the Republican party affiliation. I understand
Continue readingEven thought I didn’t and couldn’t post yesterday, it didn’t mean I wasn’t paying attention. I have a whole bunch of links I want to share with you. I won’t take too much time on any one link, because I have only a short time before the Mom stuff starts
Continue readingI apologize for the low volume of posts yesterday. It was a frantic day. I finally finished the brief, with a lot of help from DQ, who insisted that the finished product be logical, articulate and compelling. I’m very glad to have that off my desk. Immediately after finishing the
Continue readingThis is the kind of grass-roots stuff that the major campaigns just can’t improve upon. When I saw that it was longer than nine minutes, I suspected I wouldn’t stick around to watch it all, but I did — every minute. It’s intelligent and funny. Watch. Then recommend it to
Continue readingI was worried that the McCain people, flush with excitement about the success of their two ads puncturing Obama’s celebrity and Messiah status, would just keep churning out more silly satires, weakening both the message and the campaign. Fortunately, they’re not that dumb. The newest ad references the celebrity point
Continue readingWhile Terry Trippany continues to get up to speed as the new Watcher, The Razor has graciously agreed to host the temporarily peripatetic Watcher’s Council. Here are the nominations which, as always, look and, I know, will be interesting. By the way, without having read any of them, my vote
Continue readingThe answer to the above question: When it’s impossible to distinguish the satire from the real thing. I received several emails today alerting me to a post at Power Line that purported to reprint a directive from a powerful person at a major media outlet, describing how to cover the
Continue readingOne of the common responses to my post urging hidden conservatives to come out into the open in this election, if not to their friends and neighbors, at least to their fellow Republicans was that the situation can’t really be that bad. The Left isn’t any more snarky and snarly
Continue readingAs a political satirist, Confederate Yankee just gets better and better. Who knew that someone rock solid on investigative reporting, as well as political and military analysis, could also be so good at biting political humor and word play?
Continue readingThere’s a rather excited headline in today’s NY Times: GOP Drops in Voting Rolls in Many States You can just hear the huzzahs all over liberal households in America: “Republicans are vanishing. The Dems are getting stronger.” Well, maybe. There’s something interesting, though, in the very first paragraph of that

Continue readingWith regard to Iran, Israel is currently facing two options. It can launch a preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, which will allow Israel to survive intact while inflicting minimal loss of life or property against Iran. Alternatively, it can allow Iran to take a preemptive strike against Israel (which

During the post-WWII space era, crazy people substituted creatures from out of space for the devil. Again,
Continue readingThe Dems, aided by old whats her name — um, Gwyneth Paltry — have put together an endless, repetitious ad urging registered voters living oversees to make sure that they vote for Obama. I have no problem with that. If you have constituents living abroad, you should try to reach
