What the heck does Obama mean by “wee-weed?” “There’s something about August going into September where everyone in Washington gets all ‘wee-weed’ up,” the president said. My first thought was that he was making some bizarre reference to the old children’s rhyme:  “This little pig went to market, and this

The Whole Foods boycott is ridiculous, because the boycotters have no clear goal, other than to be mean.  I doubt that they’re demanding that Whole Foods entirely restructure its benefits program, especially since employees seem to like the program.  What’s really going on with this boycott is that the protesters

As I hinted this morning, I have a gazillion open tabs on my computer, all crying to be read and disseminated.  I’ll do a laundry list here of those things that interested me, with bold headings so that you can sort through without having to read everything in an undifferentiated

I’ve got dozens of articles and ideas lined up for blogging, but I haven’t been able to get off necessary phone calls to make it happen.  I promise to blog this afternoon.  Until then, here’s a an open thread.  Also, I post the list of Watcher’s Council nominations, which should

I’ve been gone 10 days from my blog (barring some drop-in blogging during vacation) and have returned to discover that nothing, but nothing, has changed in my absence.  The laundry list of news is exactly as it was when I left:  ObamaCare is dropping in the polls; Democrats are hurling

In a conversation, I mentioned that many in the intelligence community consider London to be Ground Zero for world jihadism.  It’s not the numbers, it’s the mosques.  Mr. Bookworm was outraged:  “Who are these ‘many’?”  How dare I repeat someone else’s opinion as if I know the facts.  I know

Most of tomorrow I will be in transit. I’ll be back blogging on Wednesday.

     Since Bookworm seems to have fallen prey to vacation lethargy let me hop in here with a quick question.  It occurred to me after I read the comments to my last post that I had asked the wrong question.  I should have asked what people think is the best

I actually read the paper (online) today, but I still don’t have anything to say.  I find it very hard to blog on a lap top, since I usually write with an ergonomically sinuous keyboard and a mouse.  The learning curve for my hands in dealing with this little laptop

At least, I think it’s Sunday.  Vacation tends to disrupt my internal calendar. I’m heading off to the pool and don’t see myself blogging today.  You guys should feel free to go to town here.

The one thing that Obama supporters are not discussing is the making of a doctor.  The good doctors we have come as the result of a grueling process.  The best and the brightest, rather than leaving college and going off to make money, instead opt for the following: 1.  Four

It’s very easy when frolicking in the tropics to forget the news. Indeed, I understand the willful ignorance of soany Americans. If ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise. On the other hand, reality will intrude. Mr Bookworm, who worked out this morning, told me he watched Obama’s presser

With luck (that means “weather permitting”), I’ll be away for a week or so, and will be paying minimal attention to the news.  (Even obsessive fanatics need a break now and then.)  I’ll almost certainly have access to the internet, though, and would love it if you guys would use
