Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’d like to think that Climategate, this extraordinary winter, and myriad other evidence about the fraud that is Anthropogenic Global Warming will finally de-Gore-ize a scarred world. In a logical place, change should come about given information distributed in posts such as this one, at American Thinker, attacking IPCC methodology
Continue readingI think I’m going to take a break from thinking for a while. Thanks, Bookworm, for letting me share this blog with you and thanks to all who commented and made me feel like the thoughts were worth expressing.
Continue readingAs part of a larger opinion piece giving thanks that America is still un-European enough to resist Obama’s European-izing efforts, Jonathan Rosenbloom has this to say about the modern European character: In A State Beyond the Pale: Europe’s Problem with Israel, Robin Shepherd analyzes the cast of mind that predisposes

Continue readingI’m not sure it will matter in the polls in November, but the GOP is showing a certain charm and humor this February. You can send GOP Valentine e-cards to your loved ones (or just good friends) this Valentine’s Day. I’m trying to decide between the Pelosi/Reid card (“We crafted
Continue readingBruce Kesler spoke with Tom Campbell directly about Israel, and the responses are more nuanced and less hostile than other reports indicate (see my earlier post, for example). Please check it out. The best voter is a fully informed voter.
Continue readingRod Serling was certainly a creative genius, but who knew he was a clairvoyant, with the ability to predict the future? Or, more specifically, who knew that, back in November 1961, he had the ability to predict the Winter of 2010, a record-breaking American winter playing out against the hysteria
Continue readingAs I gear up to submit one of my own posts and someone else’s post to the Watcher’s Council for its weekly vote, it behooves me to let you know the outcome of last week’s vote, one distinguished by stellar submissions, even by the Council’s already high standards: Winning Council
Continue readingA friend emailed me with a question about an initiative poised for California’s November ballot, called the “Simple Majority” initiative. I’ll let the Wall Street Journal explain: Two groups are pushing ballot initiatives they say would purge that chaos from Sacramento’s budget process. A bipartisan group, California Forward, is pushing
Continue readingJust stuff I found interesting: As a word person, I was delighted with Jeannie DeAngelis’ American Thinker article explaining why George Bush’s vocabulary errors didn’t matter, and why Obama’s should. “Corpse-man” is just the gilding on the lily of Obama’s disconnection from the world of true communication and real values.
Continue readingOne of the bludgeons used to beat opponents of socialized medicine is the claim that everybody in Canada/England/Northern Europe/Etc., is soooo much happier with health care than we are. A doctor friend of mine has been scouring the literature, and she’s discovered that this isn’t true. Polls show that people
Continue readingI’m afraid we in the Bookwormroom underestimate Obama. We believe he is hopeless away from his teleprompters, but he did quite well in an unscripted (if ever-so-polite) exchange with the Republicans. We think he can’t move to the middle, but he supported Bernanke, shifted his foreign policy away from the positions
Continue readingI’ve had four tabs open in my browser all day, and want to pass them along to you before they get lost. The first two are from England, and touch upon two issues I often raise here: the reasonable accommodations a democracy has to make for minorities and the fact
Continue reading[UPDATE: The school board stopped mulling and decided to act.] Last week, I wrote a long, ruminative post questioning how far a democracy must go to protect its minorities. Stepping in, right on cue, the San Francisco School District, which is facing a disastrous budget shortfall, is considering a huge
Continue readingI think it’s pretty clear that Audi meant to show that its car is so environmentally pure, it can withstand any scrutiny. (Michelle Malkin shows just how committed to environmental “purity” Audi purports to be.) However, its Superbowl commercial very effectively (and probably inadvertently) managed to show precisely what life
