Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the blessings of the Constitution over the years is the way in which people have been able to practice their religion freely, even while living within the Constitution’s parameters. Nothing in the Constitution runs afoul of Judeo-Christian faiths, Hinduism, Shinto-ism, and other religions that don’t involve animal or
Continue reading[UPDATE III, bumped: The Weekly Standard says that a religious tone was the underpinning for the whole event (and I’m sure I’ll hear about that from Mr. Bookworm). I will therefore give the Post and Times a full pass for emphasizing religion, although they would have done better to mention

Continue readingSomething weird happened at the BBC, which apparently did an honest journalistic investigation into the Jihadist Flotilla aimed at Israel earlier this year. Trend or anomaly? Only time will tell.
Continue readingI know that not all (or even many) of her former students agree with me, but I hated Elizabeth Warren’s professorship because I often found her incoherent. She had problems finishing sentences and wrapping up thoughts, and much of what she said came with built-in internal inconsistencies. Dissecting her lectures
Continue reading“Dodo” is a rather childish term to describe someone who is stupid. I don’t mean it quite that way (although, as you’ll see, the end result is the same). I’m actually thinking of the poor little dodo, a bird long since extinct because, in relevant part, it couldn’t recognize predators:
Continue readingPretty much from the beginning of my life as a blogger, I’ve counted Vasko Kohlmayer amongst my friends. He is a smart man and a kind man. He is also an extremely sick man right now, so all prayers and good thoughts for his well-being would be very much appreciated.
Continue readingSadie send me a fascinating little link, one that compares traffic at Jihad Watch (which tracks Jihad), Hot Air (which is a very dynamic conservative political website), and Little Green Footballs (which used to be libertarian, but is now pretty Left, although Charles, to give him full credit, continues to
Continue readingThe mosque debate in America has been instructive when it comes to Leftist rhetorical tactics. Ordinary Americans make an argument — “the mosque is inappropriate on secular sacred ground.” The Left then responds, not substantively, but with personal attacks — “you’re racist, Islamophobic, xenophobic and stupid.” If you think this
Continue readingThis is the role model we want for our children? Shouldn’t our First Lady promote American designers? (And is that the ugliest thing you’ve ever seen?)
Continue readingCaleb Howe discovered something very peculiar at the usually reliable Google Maps. If you search Lincoln Memorial, the map takes you to the FDR Memorial. (Out of curiousity, I ran the same search, and got the same result.) It’s entirely possible that this is a glitch or a mistake in
Continue readingMay I highly recommend Andrew Klavan on the Ground Zero Mosque controversy? UPDATE: And a related question is “does dhimmitude suck?” Think about it as you read Bruce Kesler’s post explaining why he disinherited his alma mater.
Continue readingOne of the best things we did on our vacation was something we slotted in during the short time we had between arriving in Seattle at the end of our cruise and boarding our plane for home. During those few hours, we went to the Museum of Flight, which is
Continue readingMy husband and I frequently debate the virtue of sending our children off to a costly four year university (assuming, of course, that they are admitted). I’m agin’ it, because I think it’s insane to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars so that ones child can listen to this type
Continue readingHonestly, I don’t know whether I’m chasing my lost youth, or if I just have some part of my brain that’s perpetually reserved for the Bee Gees. Whatever the reason, I periodically have this overwhelming urge to listen to their music and then to pass the listening on to you.
