Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m no Sondheim fan, but he did get the psychology of blame down well in a song from Into The Woods that has the constant refrain “It’s all your/his/her fault.” It’s human to assign blame. Sometimes, though, assigning blame is easy, and with the current economic crisis, history shows us
Continue readingAs I said yesterday, I don’t believe McCain was grandstanding when he decided to stop campaigning for a couple of days in order to help resolve America’s current financial problem. To me, it was a “country first” thing, with McCain putting the country ahead of his personal ambition. It turns
Continue readingYou’ve got to love an economics video that uses ABBA for its background music. You’ve also got to love an economics video that uses very simple language to show that Obama has been a very good friend to Fannie and Freddie, and they’ve loved him back, to the profound detriment
Continue readingThe Confederate Yankee launches a truly scathing attack on Obama’s fundamental lack of “American-ness” — and it has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with his profoundly un-American upbringing. I think you should read it. I will add only that some of the greatest patriots I’ve
Continue readingWhat’s the biggest debt collection organization in the world, one that makes the mafia look like pikers? The IRS, of course. Once the US assumes this massive amount of debt, why doesn’t it turn the IRS loose on the collection? Some people are genuinely in such financial distress that there’s
Continue readingI don’t know about you, but I’m impressed as all get out by McCain’s decision to stop campaigning for a while and serve his country during what may be the most significant economic crisis since 1929: Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at

It’s another week and another round of solid submissions from the Watcher’s Council. Here are the posts I’ll be reading in the next 24 hours: Council Submissions
Continue readingThis, directly from the McCain campaign, deserves to be reprinted in its entirety: Today the New York Times launched its latest attack on this campaign in its capacity as an Obama advocacy organization. Let us be clear about what this story alleges: The New York Times charges that McCain-Palin 2008
Continue readingThis election is forcing liberals, especially rich liberals, to admit two things that they’ve long implied and never stated: The liberals rich want to expiate their economic guilt by raising our taxes. And the racist liberals want to expiate their racial sins by electing a . . . yes, she’s
Continue readingI indulged myself and bought a newly remastered version of Singing in the Rain, which I consider one of the best movies ever made. It was made when Hollywood believed that its primary role was to entertain, and it did a damn fine job. The only question I have when
Continue readingI haven’t gotten up to speed yet this morning for blogging, but my fellow bloggers have, and they’ve already posted some good stuff. The Anchoress has noticed that, as the debates draw near, the MSM is working diligently to prepare the American audience . . . by lowering expectations. Obama,

Please let me if this enhances the intelletual experience here for you, or if you would like me to exercise my blog owner’s prerogative to shut them down. As you know, I value diversity of
