The side-by-side magazine covers were Vogue announcing “Michelle Obama : The First Lady the World’s Been Waiting For” (with the inside article revealing
Continue readingI spent more hours than I can count playing Barbie when I was a child. For me, therefore, Barbie is a nostalgic figure of childhood fun. For Jeff D. Eldridge, Democrat, she is a figure of consuming evil who must be destroyed. It’s good to know the Democrats are in

Continue readingIf a normal person messes up, he says, “I’m so upset. I messed up.” If a narcissist messes up, he says “I’m so angry. You made me mess up.” I leave it to you to figure out in which category Barack Obama falls (but there’s a hint in this Jennifer
Continue readingI’ve been a soccer Mom for the last six years. Every fall, without fail, soccer has dominated our lives. I think that era is finally over, though. Neither of my kids qualified for competitive teams this year, and both refuse to do rec. He wants to concentrate on baseball and
Continue readingI’m a nincompoop when it comes to learning languages. My pronunciation is flawless, but my inability to grasp foreign language grammar structures (despite being quite adept at my own), coupled with my lazy memory, mean that, despite have studied myriad languages, I’ve never mastered any. Daniel Tammet is a linquistic
Continue readingThe gal who started the Marin conservative gatherings that I’ve had the pleasure of attending sent out a broadcast email reminding all conservatives, especially those trapped in blue communities, that it’s not enough to sit at home, read the blogs and complain. We have to work towards a change in
Continue readingIn one of his most brilliant columns, Mark Steyn uses the unequal gift exchange between Gordon Brown and Barack Obama to delve into Obama’s personality and his plans, and the cataclysmic effect both will have, not just on America, but on the world. Here’s just a taste: I would make
Continue readingIn a comment I left at an American Thinker article regarding the administration’s attacks on Rush, I noted that, based on my pre-conversion history, those who hate Rush the most have probably never listened to him. Instead, they base their hatred on what they are told about him. My hope
Continue readingThe article only interviewed Muslim parents, but it’s clear Christians were involved as well. These were the parents in England who pulled their young children out of school rather than have the children be subject to a month long GLBT indoctrination, er, education sessions — and who are now being
Continue readingMuch is being made of the fact that Obama, who promised to cut earmarks, is poised to sign a bill that has something like 9,000 earmarks. Of course, that’s chicken feed compared to the bill’s real purpose, which is to expand government at an exponential rate unknown in American history.
Continue readingMr. Bookworm read in the New York Times its reprint of the Politico story about Obama’s teleprompter addiction. “That’s really bad,” he said. Rather than agreeing or opining, I simply asked “Why?” “Because,” said Mr. Bookworm, “it clashes with his reputation as a great orator.” Again, I forebore to point
Continue readingThis morning Mr. Bookworm offered me something: “Hey! You want to blog about something Obama’s doing that I don’t like?” I was curious. “What?” “This Employee Free Choice Act. What’s up with that?” “That’s been around for a while,” I said. “It’s one of the platforms on which Obama ran.”
