Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve spent the morning putting out fires. They are all extinguished now, so I can get down to the fun stuff. I read a ton of articles I think you might find interesting. In no particular order: The Washington Post looks at myths regarding the current flu season. There were
Continue readingI’m reading this fascinating stuff right now: Council Submissions The Noisy Room – Battered America Syndrome The Political Commentator – Can the Obama administration be compared to the Taliban… Simply Jews – Chuck Hagel controversy and beyond Joshuapundit–U.S. Agrees To Allow Taliban To Open ‘Political Office’ In Qatar As Obama
Continue readingMichael Ramirez pithily sums up all the deliberate or accidental hazards in American life that exceed the risks of rifle (“automatic” or otherwise) violence: As you can see, cars are infinitely more deadly to Americans than are the rifles that are getting Progressives so excited. Those who wish to control
Continue readingI think most of us found extremely disturbing the story out of Belgium telling about twin brothers in their 40s who were born deaf and were starting to go blind, and who found a doctor willing to legally euthanize them. They weren’t sick and they weren’t suffering physically. They just
Continue readingBear with me here, because I’m about to prove how simplistic and primitive my mind is. I need you all to help enlighten me. Some high school students I know got an assignment to set up and complete an experiment. Some of the experiments they came up with include looking
Continue readingYesterday, Adam Carolla’s YouTube video about the human capacity to change inspired me to write a post about the metamorphosis I’ve seen in myself over the course of my lifetime. What made the difference, of course, was living life, rather than just being (as all children are) a passive recipient
Continue readingThere’s an element of truth to the frequently voiced concern that Obama is engaged in some sleight of hand when he keeps guns as the front story in the news. By doing so, he keeps people distracted from the real news, which is our spendthrift government’s debt. With that in
Continue readingToday, a local reporter, in discussing proposed gun control laws, said that some people were concerned that such laws would “step on their Second Amendment rights.” It occurred to me that she should have said the were concerned that gun control laws would impair their ability to protect themselves and their families
Continue readingI don’t know what kind of airplay NRA ads get. Since the clicker never touches my hand (others in the household are more wedded to it than I), I haven’t seen a commercial in a good twenty-years. I do hope, though, that this particular commercial gets some serious play. People
Continue readingWhat made Andrew Breitbart extraordinary was that he understood that the best way to make a point was to show Progressives in the act of being hypocritical. This is different from what the conservative blogosphere is doing (and doing quite well, I might add), which is to report on hypocrisy
Continue readingJames Taranto highlights a couple of women, Lisa Arnold and Christina Campbell, who complain that it’s unfair that married women, when widowed, get to receive social security benefits that tie into their husband’s social security “earnings.” Here, per Taranto, is the heart of Arnold’s and Campbell’s argument: “More than 1,000
Continue readingThere’s a sad story making the rounds telling about a woman on a safari in Africa who wanted to get a picture of herself in the same frame as some rhinoceroses: The Beeld newspaper reported Tuesday that Chantal Beyer said the game park owner snapped pictures and suggested that she
Continue readingYou all remember from the Bush-era how we were told repeatedly that Dick Cheney was George Bush’s brain. That notion arose when the Left couldn’t square Bush’s effectiveness as an executive (never mind his years of executive experience) with their certainty that he was, in fact, an idiot. They were
Continue readingAdam Carolla has a new video for Prager University about the amazing human capacity for change based upon introspection and self-reflection. Here’s the video, which I’ll follow with some comments, plus a post I wrote before the September 2010 midterm elections about my own changes: People who know me know
Continue readingThere’s still time to make a stand by signing the White House petition urging that we establish “gun free zones” around the President, VP, and their families. The thinking is that what’s sauce for the goose (we, the People) should definitely be sauce for the gander (our employees in Washington,
