Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Your incredibly inspiring tearjerker for the day. It gives one faith that our American troops will survive the worst the Obama administration has to offer. UPDATE: Larry Sheldon is right. The autoplay is beyond irritating. Since I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it, I just deleted the
Continue readingJennifer Rubin pithily sums up the insanity of the government’s cheerful report on increasingly higher unemployment numbers: So to be clear: we’re headed for double digit unemployment, the very thing the stimulus bill was supposed to stave off. We didn’t keep unemployment anywhere near 8% as the administration predicted — but
Continue readingIf you can stomach the 1:18 minutes of your time, it’s worth watching, not just for what one black woman says, but for the glee with which the media and the president respond to her exceptionally vicious and ill-informed attack against Rush Limbaugh: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2N7Bu4fJ_4[/youtube] Please note, too, Sykes’ belief that

Continue readingOkay, so it took me three as many words, and about two thirds less elan, but I think I said here, exactly the same thing Mark Steyn says here about Colin Powell (including the Woodward snipe and the mourning for those poor Kurds Powell betrayed): Is conservatism over? Well, of

Continue readingIdentity politics turns people into one dimensional characters, who must act out a set script. If you’re black or Hispanic, you must be a Democrat, even if you oppose abortion, take a jaundiced view of gay marriage, and want school choice. If you’re a woman, you must support equal pay
Continue readingSince you guys have been a little slow in offering your much desired as guest bloggers, I’m going to take advantage of some of the gems you leave in the comments section. Today’s gem is from Charles Martel, which he wrote as a response to my “Good deal all around”
Continue readingDrat that brilliant, insightful, incredibly well-informed Wolf Howling, with his almost uncanny ability to synthesize complex facts and present them in a lucid manner. If it weren’t for his almost unearthly skills, I could have had complete domination at the Watcher’s Council. (Cue maniacal laughter, ending with a choked off
Continue readingOn April 30, Daniel Henninger wrote a very good column about one of Obama’s pre-election gifts — his ability to prevaricate so smoothly that everyone listening ended up believing that Obama was agreeing with his or her point of view: Early in the campaign, in January 2007, a New York
Continue readingI frequently read that the White House is dancing the to the various unions’ tunes because, as the saying goes, you “dance with them what brung you.” In other words, it was union money that helped (in a large way) to pay for Obama’s victory, and now the White House

Well, whether or not it is, someone in the advertising industry has been paying attention to what’s going on, and came up with a truly brilliant ad: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhrqxryGhkM[/youtube] Hat tip: Brutally Honest

Continue readingI’m neutral about Julia Roberts, neither liking her particularly nor disliking her particularly as a movie star. I do approve, however, of the fact that she hasn’t nipped and tucked herself. As these photos show, she has the kind of tummy (a little round, a little crepe-y) that a real
Continue readingThe MSM and the State Department were in an instant froth of American self-abasement when news hit that Americans had committed mass slaughter against Afghani civilians. Except that, as Jules Crittenden points out, reading past both headlines and Hillary’s knee-jerk apologies, it appears that these tragic deaths might have been
