Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the most popular posts at WordPress today is musically entitled “America — F*** YOU.” It’s an interesting post in that it’s a microcosom of everything that’s ugly about today’s Left. This strain has always lived in the fringe Left, but it’s worth noting now, as these views move
Continue readingWhat’s wrong with this sentence? (Beware. This is a trick question.) Your child should wear a good pair of sneakers so that they may participate in PE. Okay, here’s the answer: Aside from the blatant grammatical error, what’s really wrong with this sentence is that a teacher wrote it. How
Continue readingKevin directed me to the best, the absolute best, coverage of the “America, convert or die” invitation that Al Qaeda issued. First, view this. At the bottom, when you see the hyperlinked phrase “the invitation,” click on it. You’ll be glad you did.
Continue readingThe award for best opening sentence definitely goes to Myles Kantor, writing about Günther Grass (novelist and Nazi), who opens his article with this: The line between moralist and schmuck is very thin. I didn’t find the rest of the article quite as good, but it’s interesting, and worth reading
Continue readingWhile the MSM focuses on the deaths in Iraq, the successes, while not ignored, haven’t gotten as much play. So, I’ll add my bit to reminding all of us that our troops, working with the Iraqi troops, are succeeding in their mission, something they did quite well this past weekend:
Continue readingWriting at National Review Online, Emanuele Ottolenghi makes a good case that, while Israel might not have won decisively in this last go round, Hezbollah did not achieve any of its objectives at all, and suffered some serious losses all around, both in terms of soldiers and materiels. Ottolenghi also
Continue readingDanny Kaye had his first staring role in 1944’s Up In Arms. It’s quite a silly movie — with “silly” being a redundant adjective because we’re talking about Danny Kaye (whom I loved as a child and like as an adult). In the movie, Kaye plays a hypochondriac who is
Continue readingMany years ago, when I was in about seven months along with my first pregnancy, I begged my OB for a C-Section. I didn’t need one, but I’d had surgery before, and figured better the pain I knew than the scary and unfamiliar pain of labor. She refused my request,
Continue readingMexico’s Leftists took a page out of the post-election Democratic guidebook — protest, deny, accuse and whine — and ended with the same result: the candidate who was declared the victor will, in fact, win: Mexico’s electoral court will name ruling party conservative Felipe Calderon president-elect on Tuesday, rejecting claims
Continue readingAfter weeks of silence regarding the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, the execrable Kofi Annan has suddenly popped up to announce that he’s here to help: U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Monday he would appoint a secret envoy to work for the release of the two Israeli soldiers whose capture by
Continue readingHave you ever been driving along, perfectly safe and carefully, only to have some loony-toonz driver almost hit you? Often, if visibility ought not to be a problem, you’ll wonder to yourself, in a very un-PC way, “What is that driver? Blind or something?” In at least one case, in
Continue readingI think this is a pretty cool story about codes and code breaking: German spies hid secret messages in drawings of models wearing the latest fashions in an attempt to outwit Allied censors during World War Two, according to British security service files released on Monday. Nazi agents relayed sensitive

Continue readingSteve Irwin, the maniacally energetic, cheerful, enthusiastic “Crocodile Hunter,” died yesterday when a stingray gored him in the heart. It was truly a freak accident because, had the barb gotten him anywhere else in the body, it’s likely he would have survived. It’s also a freak accident in that he
Continue readingAlthough the MSM has been assiduously ignoring the deeper meaning behind Centani’s and Wiig’s forced conversions, the conservative press has (rightly) been very worried about it. Mark Steyn devotes a whole column to the problem with the following, I think, getting to the core issue: Don’t bet on it. In
