Found it on Facebook — wisdom distilled to poster size
I found two good posters on Facebook today:

Your opinions about Rand Paul, please
I was listening to a few seconds of Rand Paul on Sean Hannity’s radio show today. I haven’t been following his recent drone kerfuffle very closely, but his explanation of his drone statement the other day sounded reasonable. According to Rand, he’s never said that drones cannot be used to
Continue readingThis video is 46 seconds of sheer delight
This little girl is going to rule the world one day — politely, too. And she’ll do it in a way that’s premised on personal responsibility and self-reliance — provided, of course, that her parents keep her away from the corrupting influence of Leftist public schools.
Continue readingOnly in America — the Samurai sword wielding Mormon bishop superhero
(I originally wrote this one for Mr. Conservative, but it deserves a place at the Bookworm Room table, if for no other reason than the martial arts slant.) America is such a great country. Where else would a stalker who’s viciously mugging his victim be scared off by a Mormon
Continue readingDancing with the Stars
I believe I’ve mentioned before that I have a weak spot for Dancing With The Stars. It’s the only reality show I watch and there are two very specific reasons for that. The first, shallow, frivolous reason is that the show is eye candy. The professional dancers move so beautifully,
Continue readingThe Boston bombers and political correctness — by guest blogger Lulu
The elephant in the middle of the room that no one seems to want to look at is that there are people in this country, perhaps many people, who have been welcomed into this country, lived here for quite a while, embraced by Americans and treated kindly, who smile at
Continue readingPardon my silence, but it has been a ridiculous day
My best laid plans way too oft gang aglee. Today, I was going to work for 6 solid hours, pick my oldest up from school, bring her to the DMV for her learner’s permit test, and then into the City for an event. I was supposed to be back by
Continue readingIf you need a little inspiration in your life
Thanks to Earl for sending me this video about two Boston bombing victims who got a very special visit from the Marines. It made me cry, but in a very uplifted way. By the way, you can learn more about Celeste and Sydney here.
Continue readingA debate about gun control (featuring a friend of mine)
My friend Johnny Sutton, who was a Texas prosecutor before becoming a U.S. Attorney during the Bush years, just gave me a call. We got to talking about gun control, and he mentioned that he’d participated in a gun control forum at the LBJ Library. What makes his pro-Second Amendment
Continue readingCan the first four years of Obama’s presidency be invalidated?
Here’s the lede: Questions will soon be answered as to whether or not Barack Hussein Obama actually qualified to be on the 2008 Presidential ballot as the trial gets underway for a former Democrat Party official and a Board of Elections worker who are accused of submitting illegitimate signatures on
Continue readingLet the blame game begin — The New Yorker gets off to a good start, but can’t maintain its momentum
David Remnick, writing at The New Yorker has a very interesting article about “The Brothers Tsarnaev” (and yes, we all appreciated the little Dostoyevsky reference there). It’s interesting at two levels. At the first level, the beginning is an elegant piece of journalism that looks at the region and at
Continue readingJust Because Music: Two great seduction songs
Within two days, I heard two songs, separated by two decades, both of which reflect a man’s single-minded intent to get a woman into his bed. I think they’re both fantastic examples of what I call “seduction songs.” Assuming the woman is even halfway willing, it would be hard to
Continue readingCatharsis versus celebration — pictures of the corpse
If you’re not squeamish, you might want to wander over to Dan Riehl’s blog, where he has posted a very graphic picture that is alleged to be of Tamarlan Tsarnaev’s bloodied corpse, complete with a gaping hole in the side put there by doctors trying to save him (or, perhaps,
Continue readingIslam — the ultimate umbrella organization for violent malcontents
As was to be expected (and all of you predicted), the media is rushing to indict . . . America for having failed to give two Chechen immigrant brothers the love they needed. Because of this, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 years old, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 old, became disaffected losers longing to
Continue readingToday marks the anniversary of two wars and one battle in which brave people fought for freedom
Hundreds of interesting things have happened on this day over the centuries. Three, however, deserve our attention because, if we were smart, we’d be girding our loins for war right now. In 1775, Americans fought the Battles at Lexington and Concord. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln ordered the blockade of Confederate
