Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Sorry for the complete blackout today. I meant to come up to my office, read the paper and other stuff and blog. What happened instead was that the kids went to play with neighbors, so I sat down for a minute with a book. The dog jumped on my lap
Continue readingMany of us put a great deal of faith in conventional wisdom, because we assume that it’s a useful distillation of actual facts. If that’s your view, and you draw your conclusions based on CW, rather than on actual facts, you need a reality check and you can get one,

Continue readingIt’s no surprise to readers here that I really, really don’t like Jimmy Carter. I think he was a dreadful President and is, if possible, an even worse ex-President. But that’s just my opinion, unsupported by fact. For facts, you can go to this superb Josh Muravchik article in Commentary
Continue readingOver at the Watcher of Weasels, where I am a proud council member, the votes are in for best articles of the week, both by council members and non-council members. It’s with no small amount of pride that I announce that my article, San Francisco has bigger scandals than a
Continue readingMy political transformation occurred, in large part, because the Democrats began embracing positions that have always been alien to my political and social belief system. That is, I didn’t leave the Democrats, they left me. It looks as if the liberals are working on alienating yet another demographic, although at
Continue readingI am pathetically grateful to Ann Coulter for saying what’s been bugging me for some time: Obama may have charm (although it eludes me), but he is not a gifted orator. He is banal and pedantic, like most lawyers, included Harvard educated lawyers: Only white guilt could explain the insanely
Continue readingBecause Holocaust denial is so much in the press today, we’re hearing a lot about the 6 million Jews who perished during the Holocaust. We hear less about the 250,000 (more or less) who managed to survive. (If my math is correct, that tells me that only 4% of the
Continue readingDo you enjoy debating law and public policy? If so, I’ve got both an opportunity and a challenge for you: As I have mentioned before on this blog, I am enrolled in a National Security Law class this semester. This class is outstanding; I’m so glad I elected to take

Continue readingLast year, London police obtained credible information that Muslims were building chemical weapons in East London. As it turned out, there were no chemical weapons at the site. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (“IPCC”), obviously called based upon Muslim complaints, reached a few interesting conclusions. To appreciate just how interesting
Continue readingSweetness and Light reports that the mass murderer in Salt Lake City is Muslim (Bosnian). Could be coincidence; could be connected. I’ll be very interested as new information emerges. UPDATE: It’s also worth noting that the killing spree ended because someone who wasn’t a homocidal maniac was also carrying a
Continue readingNext time someone accuses you of Islamophobia, explain to them that it’s only a “phobia” if it’s an irrational fear, not a rational one. Then explain to them why Islamophobia is probably a very rational fear indeed. del.icio.us | digg it
Continue readingLast night, I did a long post that covered, among other things, the long, drawn out death of Free Speech at San Francisco State University, a place so radically Left that Angela Davis is a faculty member there. As is so often the case, immediately after I’ve done a post,
