A PUMA calculates the number of Hillary voters who will be voting for John McCain.  It’s an interesting analysis and an honest one. Melanie Morgan reports that freedom of speech is good and dead in Marin, unless you believe that freedom of speech means destroying someone else’s political speech, in

Victor Davis Hanson nails the most intellectually corrupt campaign in American history.

This was an endless day.  I hope to blog tomorrow, although I also have work to do (not to mention soccer).  I really love soccer season but, with two kids in competitive soccer, this has been a hard season and I’ll be glad when it’s over. I spent an interesteing

Writing at Front Page Magazine, Stephen Brown looks at the revolting intersection between Muslim jihadism and pederasty. And writing at National Review Online, Victory Davis Hanson manages in one article to lambast the media, expose Joe Biden’s unhinged quality, reveal the sham that is modern feminism, and laud Sarah Palin.

I was speaking to a liberal friend who thinks that, with the market in free-fall, now is a good time to invest, because there are bargains out there.  I think that’s probably true.  I don’t believe we’ve hit bottom yet, but there are certainly bargains out there, and anyone who

Ann Coulter, writing about Bill Ayers, reminds us that, when she’s not offensive and obnoxious, she’s brilliant. Neo-neocon, also brilliant, examines the bizarre classist attacks the Progressives (i.e., the self-styled “Party of the People”) make against one of the real people, Sarah Palin. James Taranto has my favorite discussion (so

Dems and your money.

You already know that footage has emerged of John McCain as a POW.  I won’t comment on that.  I will comment on the opening paragraph of the story to which Drudge links, in Britain’s Sky News: The video portrays the Republican as a hero but the message may be tarnished

Oh, my!

Elections come and go, but the Watchers stay on the job.  Here are this week’s nominations: Council Submissions Submitted By: – Soccer Dad – The Washington Post chooses hope ahead of substance Submitted By: – The Colossus of Rhodey – Don’t know much about history? The media sure doesn’t Submitted

As you know, San Francisco has been engaged in all-out warfare against it’s Junior ROTC program.  The latest effort to wipe out the program is to offer a “first aid class” (yes, really), to help those kids who want to do something meaningful with their lives. In a story deeply

Arguing personalities in the last two weeks of this election cycle seems fruitless.  For every argument we make about Obama’s being a corrupt narcissist, we hear back that Palin is a moose-hunting, tongue-speaking idiot.  Mention Obama’s lack of experience and you hear about Palin’s lack of experience (although I find

My thought for the day is the result of analyzing the glee that the parents at my local soccer games took from their sense that Palin “humiliated” herself on Saturday Night Live. It is amazing how they — meaning Democrats — loath Palin. It has nothing to do with her

Today was the first day of my new project, which sees me working from 8-12 every morning for the indefinite future.  Although I had some blogging withdrawal, it was actually quite a lovely experience — perhaps, in part, because I couldn’t check the news and my email, a fact that
