Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The other Council members and I are in remarkable harmony for the past few weeks: whatever I think is top stuff, so do they, so my first choices keep being the winning choices. As always, the stuffy you’re about to read (and I assume some of you will take the
Continue readingAt Rhymes with Right, Greg tells about a peculiar interaction he had at a Democratic-themed blog, where his argument in favor of free speech earned an attack against him based upon his Jewishness. Although Greg was flattered, he isn’t actually Jewish. He concluded, that the claim that he is Jewish
Continue readingOver at Michelle Malkin’s site, Doug Powers reports that the New York Times is trying to dig up dirt on Boehner — specifically, sexual dirt. In a post entitled “Had An Affair With John Boehner? Please Call 1-866-NYT-DEMS,” Powers links to a New York Post story that has the Times

Continue readingI was amusing myself imagining a dream candidate, one that would attract a lot of crossover votes. I came up with this political personality: And this physical image: I would so vote for this man. Of course, because I’m not quite that shallow, I would vote in a second for
Continue readingTo appreciate how the headline gave me the information I needed, you have to be familiar with Sherlock Holme’s concept of “the dog that didn’t bark.” In other words, sometimes the absence of evidence is all the evidence you need. In this case, the AP headline was a lean, mean
Continue readingIf you’re looking for posts providing substantive information about problems with myriad Democratic candidates in the upcoming election, this list, which a friend sent me, is a wonderful start. As you can see, it’s organized by candidate name, but each link will lead you to a full length post about
Continue readingI didn’t say that Ellison has a challenger who can win. I’m not sure the voters in Minnesota’s 5th CD have enough sechel to make the smart choice. But Joel Demos is a substantive challenger, because he understands the real issues facing Americans — and, as this video shows, their
Continue readingForgive my long opening discourse. I need to set the stage. Most Americans don’t know much about Belgium and Flanders. It’s a shame. For a quick summary, Flanders is the region that stretches from Belgium’s northern border with the Netherlands, west to the English Channel and into northern France (including

For years, America has been chastised for its high infant mortality rate — except it turns out that other nations report lower numbers because they don’t count

It’s mission cannot be compromised to satisfy social experimentation. Nevertheless, gays have served and will continue to serve with distinction — provided that they keep secret a significant part
Continue readingCalifornia has one of the worst, most over-regulated economies in America. It’s pretty much bankrupt. It’s had no budget for almost three months. But the regulators — aka non-elected pin heads — are still not appeased. They must destroy the state even further: California regulators have adopted the nation’s most

What totally distinguishes him from those vices, though, is that he’s good for us. He’s an honest pleasure, who can and should
