Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Let me just say that I’m delighted that Israel, finally realizing that, in the eyes of the international community, the only good Jew is a dead Jew, is thumbing her nose at the world, and cleaning out Gaza. Yay! For a while there I thought Israel would do her typical
Continue readingMy fellow Council members were appropriately dismissive of my entry this past week, which was one of my weaker efforts — and that during a week when the other Council members were writing exceptionally intriguing and interesting posts. I think you’ll agree with how the votes fell out. (By the
Continue readingI can guarantee you that Mr. Jim Bramell, a Mill Valley resident spouting this kind of belly-gazing crap, was not on the streets protesting at any time during the last several years as Hamas fired thousands of missiles into Israel, destroying myriad little castles (for footage of some of those
Continue readingI’m sorry, but when a law professor writes this kind of prima facie garbage, you have to wonder about an administration that keeps him on board. Without even delving into actual facts, let me just fisk the relevant parts of Bisharat’s article regarding Israel and war crimes to reveal logical
Continue readingHamas has been making much of its dead children. It had a field day with photos of those children who died when the IDF shot shells into a “UN school.” Most of the world (including, of course, a credulous and/or complicit media) managed to ignore the fact that it’s bizarre
Continue readingIs it only me, or is there a wonderful lunatic charm to Blago? I adored the way in which he appointed a megalomaniac black man to the Senate, forcing Reid either to seat someone he normally wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole, or risk opprobrium as a racist. Likewise,
Continue readingMy email inbox is like the mythical hydra: as fast as I process and delete emails, new ones come in, usually in numbers disproportionate to those I’ve deleted. I think I’m caught up for the minute, but I’m pessimistic about what the next minute will bring!

Continue readingNot a conversation in which I was involved (nor was it politic or appropriate to become involved), but I heard someone this morning praising Carter’s execrable editorial (and I’m not going to dignify that with a link) castigating Israel for defending itself. The liberal praising the article, when asked about
Continue readingDay before yesterday, I wrote: Reader Lulu send me an email pointing out something interesting, which is that Hezbollah is doing nothing right now. You’d think that this would be a perfect time for Hezbollah to force a two-front war on Israel. That it’s not doing so might be a
Continue readingI know I’ve posted this video before, but it’s so good, I just had to again, especially with the media blathering on about a depression. (Joan Blondell, and a cast of hundreds, from The Gold Digger’s of 1933.) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37-ocetYDdU[/youtube]

Me: What has he accomplished? Lib: He’s incredibly smart. Me: I agree that he’s smart at advancing his career, but what has he accomplished?
Continue readingI like Benjamin Netanyahu’s suggestion for proportionality in dealing with Hamas: The charge that Israel is using disproportionate force is equally baseless. Does proportionality demand that Israel fire 6,000 rockets indiscriminately back at Gaza? That sounds like an excellent idea. Of course, being an Israeli, Netanyahu’s suggestion is tongue in
Continue readingHamas’ tried and true tactic worked again — it put children in the line of fire and Israel, rather than moving forward to protect her own children, is caving: Israel has shown the first signs of bowing to the international outcry over its 11-day onslaught of Gaza after some 40
Continue readingOn January 2, after praising an excellent article Alan Dershowitz wrote about the idiocy behind the international demand for Israel to use “proportionality” in regards to Hamas, I went on to say this: Read the rest here and wonder, as I do, why Dershowitz still aligns himself with the Democratic
