Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRTkCHE1sS4[/youtube] Veruca Salt has been much on my mind lately, probably because I live with a teen and a tween. “I want it now,” is the operative demand in our household. The fact that I routinely turn a deaf ear to that malign howl doesn’t deter the Veruca practitioners with
Continue readingAt our local Halloween store, amidst all the ghasties and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night (i.e., the scary fright masks), I found one more mask lurking:
Continue readingWhen I grew up, Guy Lombardo was a joke — a bunch of old people playing for my parents’ generation on New Year’s Eve. But watching this video, from 1942, is a reminder that those guys were really fine in their heyday: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNG5cqSoe0Q[/youtube]
Continue readingAs Barack Obama’s presidency brings America (and the world?) ever closer to the precipice, more and more people are finally asking the questions that ought to have been asked in 2007 and 2008. (We, of course, have always been asking those questions.) One of the people who has been following
Continue readingI was talking with a friend (he knows who he is) about the uniforms we wear. The military imposes uniforms on its members, but most of us impose uniforms upon ourselves. Because I’m quite petite (being both short and reasonably slender) and because I have matching small feet, it is
Continue readingI have to admit that I don’t understand the “I am the 99%” shtick coming out of OWS. If these people are saying that 99% of the country is poor, with only 1% holding the wealth, perhaps I don’t understand poverty as well as I should. When I think of
Continue readingFirst, let me say that I am absolutely delighted that Qaddafi is no longer with us. Good riddance! For me it’s personal, as I had many Libyan college mates that were refugees from and victims of the early days of his dictatorship. I wish them well in building a bright
Continue readingIn 1969, during the height of the 1960s protest era, a bunch of activists seized land that the University of California, Berkeley, owned, and unilaterally declared that it was a “People’s Park,” unfettered by the petty, mundane and bourgeois concerns of property rights. The takeover was entirely successful, as UCB

Continue readingThis week’s submissions are, as always, way too good, making it very hard to cast votes: Council Submissions Rhymes With Right – Democrats – Supporting The Terrorist Enemy Is Patriotism, Opposing Obama’s “Jobs Bill” Is Treasonous The Political Commentator – Some in the OWS movement, like the Nazis before them,
Continue readingJKB had a very interesting thought, which I wanted to share with all of you: It appears to me that these OWS protests are a Progressive reaction to Obama jumping into bed with Wall Street. He cheated on them. They feel betrayed but are going after the other woman as
Continue readingThis is a very clever video, but there are no surprises in it. Both are narcissistic, grim statists, so they’ll naturally be speaking from the same script: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-tZq4CWLi0[/youtube] Hat tip: Power Line
Continue readingYou’ve already heard about the horrible Southwest flight, during which Ali Reza Shahsauri screamed in Arabic: “Allahu Akbar… you’re all going to die.” Don’t worry, though. We’ve just been assured that it’s not terrorism (although it certainly managed to instill terror). Why isn’t it terrorism? Because: A spokesman said: ‘The
Continue readingYeah, yeah. I’m a few days late with this, but better late than never, right? And certainly last week’s winners at the Watcher’s Council deserve full recognition for their wonderful posts. Tomorrow, I’ll post this week’s submissions. Be sure to read them, since we have two new members on board:
Continue readingUp until recently, the Tea Party might just as well have been called the DevilNaziEvilRacistUgly Party as far as the Progressives and their ilk were concerned. In retrospect, calling participants “Tea Baggers” was one of the nicer things the Left said. Barack Obama did nothing to stop this concerted attack
