Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You really have to wonder what the hell is wrong with Sinise that he’s a talented artist, a good human being and a patriotic American. I thought that combination of attributes was illegal in Obama’s America. Still, notwithstanding the pressure on anyone affiliated with Hollywood to buckle down and toe
Continue readingI’ll comment just briefly on this story about a Belgian production of Saint-Saëns’s “Samson et Dalila,” which casts modern Jews as the Philistines, Palestinians as the Hebrews and Samson as a suicide bomber. My comment: this is the typical “artistic” crap that emantes from the Left (whether non-Jewish or self-loathing
Continue readingUnlike many people, I was not shocked to learn that the LA Unified School District is paying teachers not to teach, although the $10 million price tag strikes me as just a tad unreasonable. In the early 1970s, one of my teachers was a scary guy (not to mention a
Continue readingThose of us who were paying attention knew that Obama was lying during the campaign season when he claimed that he was Israel’s best friend. The words sounded pretty, but we knew about (a) his nonexistent track record supporting Israel in the Senate and (b) his affiliations with people (Wright,
Continue readingAlthough Bush did not mess directly with the CIA, it nevertheless turned on him, either because his Iraq War humiliated the CIA by showing how poor its intelligence gathering was or because the CIA is a heavily Democratic institution. If the CIA turns on Obama, though, it will be personal:
Continue readingLet me open this post by stating my biases honestly: I hate Colin Powell. I think he is in significant part responsible for the Second Gulf War, because he was one of the loudest voices telling Bush Sr. to abandon the First Gulf War without pressing onto Baghdad itself. And,
Continue readingJust a couple of days ago, it sounded like a great joke when Charles Martel imagined the Senate confirmation hearings for the first black lesbian Supreme Court justice. The joke is now on us, as the gay lobby (responding appropriately to the administration’s obsession with quotas and identity politics) is

Continue readingMike didn’t actually submit this as a guest post. He submitted it as a comment, but it’s so good, it deserved room of it’s own. Here’s the set-up: I blogged about different predator and prey styles, and noted that Obama is relying on the least successful strategy, because it depends
Continue readingYou can bet your bottom dollar that 100% of it’s management and probably 90% of its customers (make that 100% for the San Francisco store) are hardcore Obama supporters. The Whole Food managers are also some damn fine capitalists. I went reeling out of the store empty-handed, abandoning my idea
Continue readingI have to admit that, when I’m in Whole Foods, as I am now, I take a certain perverse pleasure in ignoring their FOUR obsessive-compulsive recycling bins (complete with complicated, illustrated directions for the unintiated) and just throwing everything in the trash. I don’t like being dictated to garbage-wise.
Continue readingI’ve been plowing laboriously through my inboxes — both email and paper — which has depleted a ridiculous amount of my time and energy. Still, even if I didn’t have time to blog, I did have time to think and I ended up with a question for you. Why is
