Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I am OK, very much OK, with last night’s results. My big worry was that Republicans would secure a complete hold on Congress and therefore find themselves in the kill zone when our country inevitably hits a financial, economic and regulatory wall over the next two years. Here is how
Continue readingDQ here. Yesterday, Republicans made gains all over the country, in the House, the Senate, the Governorships, state legislatures, pretty much everywhere it seems. Except California. As I write this, in California Democrats lead every statewide race but one (Democrat Kamala Harris is narrowly leading in her bid to become the worst Attorney General
Continue readingAmerican Digest is getting lots of hits for this list, and deservedly so. It surely explains what’s happening in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, etc. UPDATE: And if you want something that will make you laugh, this will. I need to laugh. I’m bummed, although not surprised, about California.
Continue readingJust a reminder, now that the election frenzy is over (assuming you’ve voted, the results will be what they will be), that you might want to think about the Soldiers’ Angels Valour-IT fundraiser, which uses donations to purchase helpful technology for wounded warriors. This year, consistent with my Navy League
Continue readingAs Jonah Goldberg pointed out in Liberal Fascism, socialists, as part of their ongoing effort to perfect mankind, are obsessed with food intake. The Nazis were especially focused on purifying the Aryan body. Now, I’m not likening the San Francisco Board of Stupidvisors to the Nazis — God forbid! —
Continue readingI wouldn’t have thought so, but AJ Strata thinks it’s an actual possibility. What’s bizarre to me, a native Californian, is that nobody in California seems to have figured out that California’s golden years coincided with Republican governance and its years of decline coincided with Democrat control of either the
Continue readingI was very flattered that neo-neocon used one of my posts to examine how she, when still a liberal, thought about Republicans. Her primary point is that, because she is just a few years older than I, she still remembers a Republican era in America that wasn’t bad. She has
Continue readingI never liked Jean-Luc Godard movies. I go to movies to be entertained, not bored. He failed my simple test. Aside from being (in my mind) a boring film maker, it turns out that he is, as well, a deep, blatant, vicious antisemite. Of course, if you’re a New York

Continue readingOne after another, our intellectual betters on the Democrat/Progressive side of the political spectrum have assured us that the American people are simply too stupid to appreciate Obama’s greatness, let alone the Democrat Congress’ greatness. They may have a point about American stupidity. And if the Democrats/Progressives are the elite
Continue readingAs it’s being sold, California’s Prop. 21 is meant to gladden the hearts of all who love open space, wildlife, natural beauty, etc. I know I do. Even better, the proposition seems so reasonable: For just $18 per car per year, which is less than most people, even poor people,

Continue readingI was very surprised to see an AP wire story reporting that Islamic militants (as opposed to mere “militants” or “insurgents”) were holding “Christians” (as opposed to mere “people”) hostage. Even more surprising, the AP reported that the Islamic militants were probably affiliated with Al Qaeda in Iraq, an entity
Continue readingSince the Delaware media outlet that took Christine O’Donnell’s commercial (and, presumably, the payment for that commercial) somehow managed to “forget” to air it — twice — it’s up to “we, the citizen media” to air that ad for her. If you have an outlet (email, a blog, facebook, myspace,
Continue readingMy little bookworm is, thankfully, feeling somewhat better, so I thought I’d throw out a few things that have piqued my interest over the past few days. You may recall my rant about solar panels a little while ago. Things are better now, because we’ve just entered the half of
