Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Our society has raised a generation of children who are fixated on unicorns and fairies. The self-esteem movement has told them that their decisions are always perfect. Being perfect, of course, means never having to take responsibility. Our abandonment of discipline means that a generation never had to take responsibility
Continue readingApparently the newest metrosexual statement is for men to wear high heels. The claim is that it’s a “power statement” because you tower over others. I beg to differ. Heels mess with your balance and your ability to walk forward. I discovered this as a young lawyer. My opponent (male)
Continue readingWe know that the useful idiots at OWS want to shed their student loans. Warren Buffet wants to pay more. Buffet should therefore pay those loans. Isn’t that easy?
Continue readingThin and pale, but Gilad Shalit is home at last. To bring this beloved child (beloved of parents and of country) home, Israel released over a thousand Palestinian murderers and would-be murderers. Many mourn that these killers are back on the streets, and rightly so. I hope that Israel has

Continue readingI’ve been doing chores and am now heading of for some much needed exercise. Open Thread away! Suggested topics: Insanity and antisemitism on Wall Street (and other places) Insanity in Europe (which those of us paying attention knew would happen one day) Insanity in the Middle East (I can’t even

Continue readingMy sister, her husband and I are all people who believe in evolution and the Big Bang. I discovered yesterday, though, that we also all believe in some variation of intelligent design. My brother-in-law believes that something, someone or some species seeded the universe with DNA (perhaps several times over)
Continue readingBarry Rubin is talking about the Middle East, but he could just as well be talking about the world wide protests that our dear President is encouraging: There’s a saying that goes something like this: When things are bad, a Jew cries. When they get even worse, a Jew cries
Continue readingMy liberal friends have been posting today, and two things caught my eye. First, this: So if I understand correctly, Jesus, who was the son of God, and these guys are pretty much one and the same? I know that those who love destruction and chaos (as opposed to one
Continue readingI’m adding to my kids’ sense of entitlement today by ferrying them hither and yon. That leaves no time for reading, thinking and writing. Fortunately, Sadie sent me a video link: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAOrT0OcHh0[/youtube]
Continue readingPaul Krugman, who has been cheering the occupying army within a short walk of his own office, somehow hasn’t managed to show up and support them in person. A couple of days ago (and I don’t know how I could have missed this!) he explained why. I’ve offered translations in
Continue readingCharles Krauthammer has one of his best articles ever, regarding Obama’s class warfare. He notes, too, that it’s easier to unleash than to control the mob. Here’s a sample, but I think you should read the whole thing — and then send it to people you know: After three years,
Continue readingAntisemitism in connection with OWS was a no-brainer. The Left is antisemitic. It has been since Marx. Hitler institutionalized it to deadly effect. Stalin was less methodical than Hitler, but he made Judaism illegal and instituted various pogroms within his own party to drive out, imprison or kill Jews. No
Continue readingI’ve periodically mentioned here a visit I made many years ago to the Tenement Museum in New York. Every time I mention it, I make the same point: the museum demonstrates America’s social mobility because census records show that the tenement’s descendents all moved upwards economically. Grandpa Guiseppe or Grandma
