Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
With a few stellar exceptions, the best way to tell a story is in chronological order. This is because, in the real world, cause and effect matter. I suspect that the AP knows this is true, which is why they had their latest report from the Middle East start with

My favorite part is the bit with the San Francisco motorcycle cop. You go, guy! Please remember when you read Zombie that Zombie
Continue readingThroughout my legal career, the Harvard Law grads of my generation and after have bewildered me. The ones I met practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area, more often than not, were distinguished by two things: lousy legal skills and strident aggression. I was pretty sure that this perception on
Continue readingAt YID with LID, you get to see proof of something we all knew intuitively: Obama is now and long has been a Marxist. The problem is that this news, which ought to be staggering, doesn’t matter. Even if one strips away the MSM’s reflexive denial about Obama’s Marxism, the

To me, they’re all Max Headroom: My philosophy is that life is too short to spend time in Max Headroom’s company. My mistake, though,

Informed, witty, often incredibly funny, fiercely intelligent — everything that makes one fall into the intellectual embrace of a person one knows only through his words. And now he’s gone. Here’s more. I am deeply, deeply

Whether in their own posts, or by catching the best p0sts from others, the Watcher’s Council keeps everyone informed. Here are last week’s winners: Council Winners *First place with 5 votes!

In keeping with their Marxist world view that the economy is a finite pie, they are arguing, both implicitly and explicitly, that he must have stolen his wealth from the little people. Republicans, rather than sneering
