Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Pamela Geller, who blogs at Atlas Shrugs, has spent countless hours following both McCain’s and Obama’s money. In a carefully detailed article at American Thinker, she explains that McCain’s donations are squeaky clean, while the donations coming into the Obama campaign are, to put it tactfully, questionable. For example, Obama’s
Continue readingJoe Lieberman has been persona non grata for pal-ing around with the Republicans, but the media was incredibly excited to discover that a few “leading” Republicans have moved over to the Obama side — as if nobody has ever heard of RINOs in the first place. Aside from the fact
Continue readingRegular readers now that I have a fatal weakness for ABBA. I can’t help it. Sometime back in the 70s, during my formative years, they left an imprint on my brain, and I just get fizzy happy when I hear their bouncy music and beautiful harmonies. It turns out that
Continue readingI find amusing, in a bitter kind of way, the first sentence in a New York Times article about Jerome Corsi’s book on Obama, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality (which is, by the way, one of Amazon’s top sellers and will debut this week as
Continue reading“Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” You’ve probably noticed that I’ve said nothing about Russia invading Georgia. This is, in part, because the exigencies of the past week have deprived me of time to read in detail
Continue readingAlthough I was still an unthinking Democrat back in 2000, and I cast my vote for Gore without blinking an eye, I was sufficiently objective to concede one fact: Bush seemed like the much nicer guy. Gore might hold forth on erudite subjects at a cocktail party, but Bush was
Continue readingThree hours and 12 minutes — that’s how much time I’ve got to myself this morning. I am beyond excited. I haven’t really hit the online news yet, but I did discover some things last night that I wanted to bring to your attention (assuming you haven’t already read them).
Continue readingWhen I was at Berkeley, I had only a few decent professors. One of them (who was really wonderful) taught a British history class covering the period from 1760 to WWII. He taught us that the Industrial Revolution, though it started in England, petered out. It lacked the ferocity and
Continue readingIBD has another superb editorial, this one about Obama’s plan to force young people to work in the new age Greenie trenches of his socialist imagination: Obama says that as president he will “set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service
Continue readingI’ve never been a David Letterman fan — his humor and mine have few points of intersection. Nevertheless, I think he (and his writers) hit the nail on the head with the Top 10 list of signs Obama is becoming over-confident. As you watch this, don’t just listen to the
Continue readingIf you’re old enough, you remember the famous cough syrup advertisement, in which a soap opera actor announced, “I’m not a doctor. I just play one on TV.” Miguel Guanipa explains how Obama, who came of age along with that TV commercial, has opted to use the same approach to
Continue readingIf you haven’t laughed yet today, this will change that sad situation.
Continue readingIBD does an enjoyably neat job of cutting Nancy Pelosi down to size: When challenged in an interview with Politico.com about her bullheaded refusal to let Republicans submit energy policies for approval, Pelosi resorted to risible hyperbole to justify her iron-fisted rule of the House parliamentary process. “I’m trying to
Continue readingBefore today, I hadn’t heard of Frank Turek. After today, I’m going to keep an eye out for his articles. He’s written a really splendid article explaining how deeply, terribly wrong Obama’s every position is regarding Iraq. Frankly, for those who are well-informed, there’s nothing in this article you haven’t
Continue readingObama was caught during his speech to minority journalists making noises that sounded remarkably like reparations talk: “I personally would want to see our tragic history, or the tragic elements of our history, acknowledged,” the Democratic presidential hopeful said. “I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it’s Native
