Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I can’t think of something clever to say about this report of Michelle’s very expensive “free ride”. (At this point, you all should be thinking “there’s no such thing as a free ride.”) It’s up to you guys to editorialize.

Continue readingA Liberal friend had an epiphany of sorts, recently. She recounted to me how she saw a townhall meeting of senior citizens furiously protesting plans to cut back on their (state) health care insurance benefits. One speaker tried to point out to these senior citizens that they had pretty much
Continue readingOne of the problems with government central planning is that too many corrupting interests get in the way of good solutions and it always ends up being at the expense of taxpayers. Ostensibly, the argument for high-speed rail is that it is supposed to be a solution to highway and
Continue readingMy son’s haircuts are always a bit fraught. He loves buzz cuts and I agree. I like buzz cuts generally, but think they look especially good on my son. My husband, however, likes my son with long hair. It therefore irks him to spend money on cuts he dislikes. Since
Continue readingIt’s not very funny but, because I lived in Yorkshire, I find it sufficiently amusing to pass on to you: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VLYpKGVBUg[/youtube] Hat tip: Maggie’s Farm

Continue readingSadie sent me a very interesting email about the tenth anniversary of 9/11. I’m gambling her that she won’t mind if I share her email. I’d add my own comments at the end. It’s coming (the 10-year marker) but it’s been here all the time, every day and in every
Continue readingJay Cost has been publishing for quite a while. I’ve known he was out there, but it was only over the summer that I suddenly realized just how good he is. Today’s “Morning Jay” is a great example of Cost’s political writing: intelligent, temperate, extremely well-informed, lucid writing style, etc.
Continue readingI think Rick has put together the best, or certainly the most enjoyable, post-quake wrap-up.
Continue readingJim Lacey explains clearly the problem with global warming science: it’s so hopelessly corrupt that it’s no longer possible to tell what the truth is any more. Incidentally, this corruption is not a new problem. In 1934, the now-forgotten author C.P. Snow, was a trained physicist, examined scientific dishonesty in
Continue readingSome friends of mine have put together a clever blog. (If you follow me on facebook, you’ve already seen me trying to help them out.) It’s called “A Kid’s I View” and it offers travel posts that kids write. As a mom, I see it as a good resource for
Continue readingI’m embarrassed to admit this, but I have absolutely nothing to say about today’s East Coast earthquake, except that I’m glad no one was hurt. I don’t see the quake as a portent from either God or Gaia. It was just one of those things that happens. Do you have
Continue readingI’d like to think I just photograph badly — but what if the pictures are actually doing me justice? Okay. Now I’m not going to be able to sleep anymore.
Continue readingEd Driscoll has an excellent illustrated post on the Left’s obsession with Jesus. If only they were as focused on his teachings as they are on his imagery. Spengler on the two Americas (although they’re not the two Americas John Edwards was talking about). Exactly my take on the presidential
