Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
What’s weird about this opening sketch from Saturday Night Live isn’t that it takes pot shots at Barack Obama’s attempts to micromanage American businesses. Nor is it weird that the dude doing the Obama impression isn’t very good. And, given that this is SNL, it’s certainly not weird that it’s
Continue reading. . . this might help answer your question. It’s almost insulting to know that the tax payers are getting screwed without even getting the pleasure of being made drunk (on fine wine yet) first. We pay, they play.
Continue readingThe Oakland police force suffered a shattering loss last week when four of its officers were killed in a single day. Not only did the shooting highlight the risks police officers take every day, it also highlighted that the Oakland Police force is singularly understaffed. Oakland is also going broke,
Continue readingObama bowed deeply to the King of Saudi Arabia. It’s worth remembering that this King supports exactly the same type of “justice” you see meted out here to a teenage girl in Pakistan who committed the heinous Sharia crime of leaving the house with her father in law.
Continue readingTOTUS goes to the bathroom for one minute and look what happens Is it just me not liking the guy, or was this response unfocused blather? Britain’s lefty Guardian paper, of all places, votes for unfocused blather. In case you need a reminder, this is how you give a focused
Continue readingYou can parse still pictures as much as you want, but a video is much better at telling the whole story. Here’s the whole story of Obama’s embarrassing grovel to the Saudi monarch, who heads a kingdom repressive even by medieval standards: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gJtIss7xso[/youtube]
Continue readingI wasn’t there to hear the evidence, and I don’t know the law, so I can’t say definitively that the jury did the wrong thing. Nevertheless, the verdict makes me very, very queasy.
Continue readingThe grammar is a little shakey, but the sentiments from Michael Phelps at his facebook page (yes, I’m a fan/friend) are just right: Hey everyone…i’m back in Baltimore after two weeks out on the west coast for a training camp w/ the national team. Gotta get ready for Nationals and
Continue readingThrough Facebook, today, I learned that friends of mine are extremely worried about their child’s health. I should be more explicit: through the “real me” Facebook I learned this. That’s an important point, because this whole post would be different if I’d learned it through my Bookworm Facebook account. In

I hated the cattle car approach (which I think they’ve done away with), but always appreciated the flight attendants. This guy is no exception: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivjybzdXVmI[/youtube] Hat tip: Soccer Dad
Continue readingI was watching Monty Python’s Life of Brian the other day (an impulse buy Mr. Bookworm made at Costco), and was much struck by the scene below, in which one of the characters announces that he wants to be a woman. Somehow it seems very apropos nowadays, given the bizarre
Continue readingGod? A pregnant body doing a little extra repair work? Modern medicine? Random luck? Who knows. But, as the Anchoress explains, something miraculous happened.
Continue readingI believe this is the same speech Mark Levin broadcast yesterday. It’s a marvelous speech, that carefully, clearly, factually and wittily spells out the economic and national security issues facing the United States, many of which parallel those we see today. If you have a half hour, listen to it:
Continue readingAs a great fan of Walt Disney (not the studio, but the man himself), I’m delighted that the San Francisco Presidio, a short drive for me, will be home to a new Disney museum. I have no doubt that he was imperfect, but aren’t we all? And as we get
Continue readingAs you may recall, a couple of days ago I notified my Marin readers that Michael Medved would be giving a talk at Book Passage to promote his new book, The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions About Our Nation. His talk was so good I actually supported
