Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Living in Giants’ country, I’m happy that the Giants are doing so well. They’ve won the first two games of the World Series, and done so by a comfortable margin. I’m sure that the Detroit Tigers are sad. Very sad. I can imagine some ugly recriminations in the locker room
Continue readingHere’s today’s Progressive Facebook offering: Point by point, let me show why this poster is really, really stupid: His support of the middle class by encouraging the auto-industry to go bankrupt? If you’re not living in Victorian England, when bankruptcy meant that the man of the family ended up in
Continue readingHow reliable is Edward Klein? I don’t know. I don’t believe anyone challenged the facts in his book The Amateur, even if they disagreed with their import. One thing that was immediately clear from reading The Amateur was that Klein got a lot of his information from Hillary Clinton’s camp.
Continue reading(You can read more about Emken here, or at her own website.) As usual, Dianne Feinstein is nowhere to be seen when there is hard work to be done, so Elizabeth Emken went ahead and had the debate without her: The fact that DiFi is a no-show has nothing to
Continue readingToday, you could wade through my deepest thoughts without getting your ankles wet. I’ve been doing household accounting, working on my own business, and taking care of my mother, and my brain is stuck in checklist mode, with no room for creative thought. I’m sure some glimmerings of intelligence will
Continue readingA picture is making the rounds amongst my liberal Facebook friends, complete with the caption that “This says it all to me.” I’m actually not sure what “all” the picture says. That Romney smiles at people performing a service for him while Obama gives them a fist bump? If the

Continue readingOver at Breitbart, they noticed something interesting: The Washington Post scrubbed positive reviews for the moving Hating Breitbart (which, predictably enough, the WaPo hated). Now, there may be a good reason for this type of censorship but., so far, the WaPo hasn’t offered one. That is, it hasn’t offered a
Continue readingThe editor of a Jewish newspaper — let me repeat: a Jewish newspaper — has endorsed a Republican. Because we’re discussing Jews, it may be wrong to analogize this to pigs flying, but I guess it’s okay as long as we’re not eating those pigs for breakfast. I was at
Continue readingA few months ago, I though Elizabeth Emken’s chance of unseating Dianne Feinstein in the Senate was about equal to the Giant’s chance of winning the World Series. I was not optimistic. Today, I believe that both are possible and, indeed, probable. I’ll leave the baseball talk to others, and
Continue readingWe all know crazy people. I don’t mean the kind of crazy people who believe that cats rule the world and that Satan is living in the begonia. I mean the people with personality disorders who assiduously work to shape reality so that it matches their own warped and damaged
Continue readingQuite clearly, our own environmentally sensitive natives believed that all one needed to do was to build bricks, mortar and steel into modern-looking structures, pick an environmentally friendly “technology” with a cool sounding name and, voila! Magic benefits would come out of thin air – endless BTUs of cheap, pollution-free, guilt-free, Gaia-approved energy that defied the laws of physics, engineering and economics.
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I pointed to a college-era photograph of Obama, showing him with unusually long nails on his thumb and forefinger. Based upon his own admission of cocaine use in high school, plus a recently published story about Carrie Fisher’s possible “coke nail,” I suggested that perhaps
Continue readingWhen it became obvious that Mitt was going to be the Republican nominee for President, I started doodling around with my strong sense that the November match-up would look very much like a contest between Ward Cleaver and Eddie Haskell, of Leave it to Beaver fame. In May, I put
