Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Somewhere between yesterday and today, my brain went AWOL. I had a wonderful idea for a short and sweet post yesterday but never got the chance to write it down. Today, I have the chance, but absolutely no ideas, neither short and sweet ideas, nor long and boring ones. I’ve
Continue readingI always enjoy vintage cards when I note the holidays here at Bookworm Room. This time, we’re going back . . . back . . . back to WWII. Happy Mother’s Day!
Continue readingYesterday, I got to be snarky about Time Magazine’s aggressive breast feeding cover (and if “aggressive breast feeding” isn’t a post-modern liberal oxymoron, I don’t know what is). Today, I get to poke fun at Newsweek, for it’s “Obama : The First Gay President” cover: Newsweak isn’t actually claiming that
Continue readingIf you haven’t yet seen Time Magazine’s most recent cover, welcome back to earth from your extended journey to some other galaxy, far, far away. To bring you up to speed, here’s a copy of the famous (or infamous) cover for you to enjoy: The Mom pictured on the cover

Continue readingLet’s put aside the laughable fact that the MSM has had to go back to 1965, when Romney was a teenager, to find something bad about him (or, more specifically, something bad about him and a putatively gay person). This ridiculous attack has naturally generated attacks against Obama and Biden,
Continue readingHere’s an old, bad (really bad) joke: During the 1973 war, the Israeli Army determined that at least one third of all Arab forces arrayed against them were named Mohammed. They quickly developed a new tactic. The IDF troops would take cover and holler out, “Mohammed!” In response to the
Continue readingYesterday I wrote a ridiculously long post comparing Romney and Obama to Ward Cleaver and Eddie Haskell respectively. Many people had nice things to say about it but, in terms of garnering hits, it’s sunk like a stone. Go figure! I mention it now because the genesis for that post
Continue readingLeave It To Beaver is an iconic television show, complete with archetypal American characters. Week after week, during its Eisenhower/Kennedy heyday, the show presented its American audience with the naifs (Beaver and Wally Cleaver) being enticed into dangerous or embarrassing situations, thanks to the machinations of Eddie Haskell. Eddie was
Continue readingThe full name of the Watcher’s Council is actually “Watchers of Weasels.” I mention it because, this past week, the Weasels were out in force, so the Watcher’s have had to keep their eyes wide open. Check out these posts and see what the Watcher’s found: Council Submissions The Noisy

Continue readingI had some brilliant teachers when I was at law school in Texas. Elizabeth Warren was not among their number. While she knew her stuff, her disjointed, elliptical communication style made her one of the poorer teachers I’ve had during my 20 years as student (from kindergarten through my J.D.).
Continue readingBecause of my Mom’s and my kids’ needs, I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time in the car lately. Sometimes I listen to audio books, but that’s not the best way for me to take in information. I usually fall back on the radio. After years of listening to

Continue readingGeorge Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the best and most important books ever written. This is not hyperbole. It’s as close as one can ever get to an objective statement about a novel. In addition to Orwell’s lean, elegant prose, it is impossible to imagine a more insightful or
