Continue readingI was down at San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf the other day, waiting for a ferry. While there, I admired the sea lions sunning themselves on the wooden rafts off of Pier 39. They’re a great local and tourist attraction. Very smelly, but very amusing. I had my iPhone so I
Continue readingI have an idea to throw out for you guys to chew on. Laer, at Cheat-Seeking Missiles, in an email asked why Jindal’s speech, which looks great on paper, got such a bad reception. The reception was bad on both the Left and the Right, so its being dissed wasn’t
Continue readingThe always interesting, sometimes controversial Ymarsakar, who blogs at Sake White, has contributed another post for your consideration. In it, he tackles using psychology to disarm us, or to help us understand and combat our enemies. Since Y didn’t provide a little intro, and because it’s a long post, I’m

The top and middle shelves were filled with hagiographies and Obama’s autobiographies. The bottom shelf, or ballast shelf, was D. K. Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals”

Continue readingDomino fashion, state legislature after state legislature is rushing to pass bills authorizing gay marriage. New York is about halfway there, although the New York Senate may be less easy for gay marriage proponents than was the Assembly. If the bill becomes law, New York will joint Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine,

That being the case, do you feel sorry for the Dems who are now crying foul about the CIA’s decision to defend against Bush administration attacks by turning
