I heard about the man who stomped his two year old to death (kicking him more than 100 times) before being killed by the police. What I hadn’t realized is that a flock of sheep witnessed the horror: The town of Turlock and much of the rest of the nation

Continue readingThe Glittering Eye has tagged me with this one and it sounds like fun, so I’m having a run with it. The rules are strict: 1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. 2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
Continue readingI was truly saddened to read that Cyd Charisse has died. She was a wonderful star of the Golden Age of MGM musicals, whether playing the lovely ballerina in Band Wagon, the dancing gangster’s moll in Singing in the Rain, the Russian commisar in Silk Stockings, or any of the
Continue readingI’m happy to announce that Terry Trippany, my invaluable Web guru (who blogs at Webloggin), has done some tweaking to the hyperlinks, both in the posts and in the comments, to make them easier to see. By the way, if you don’t see any change right off the bat, you
Continue readingTwo of my favorite bloggers, Scott D and Turkeyhead, both of whom blog at Scott’s Conservative News and Commentary, are back after a ridiculously long hiatus. Go check out their three new posts, which take nice aim both at the Supreme Court and (sigh) at John McCain and, by your

Continue readingSorry for the paucity of blogging this weekend and this morning. The weekend was a very productive one in every way put blogging, and this morning has been equally productive of things other than blogging. Of course, I want to blog. I’ll be up to speed, I hope, in a

Continue readingLeft the house at 6:45 a.m. for a swim meet, returned home briefly to warm up my little swimmer, and now have to return to the meet ’cause I’m clean-up crew. Next season, I’m signing up for set-up! I’m very proud of my little swimmer, who went in a few
Continue readingJohn Hawkins, at Right Wing News, polled conservative bloggers about the upcoming Presidential election. Sixty-four responded (myself included), and John tabulated those responses. Some areas saw the responders about equally divided: More thought McCain would win the election (56%) than that Obama would win (44%); and more thought Obama was
Continue readingIt’s becoming increasingly clear what the Democratic campaign strategy is going to be this election season: Vote for Obama or you’re a racist. I’m not sure I think too much of this approach to bullying the American electorate into selecting a candidate. Aside from the fact that, if you’re a

Continue readingI couldn’t resist a minute to blog about this one: An exquisite miniature of Tom Lefroy has emerged in England. He is the man nobody knows under his real name, but everyone knows under his immortal literary alter ego: Fitzwilliam Darcy. Thus, while it’s not 100% certain that he served
Continue readingThere’s something charmingly naive about the way in which the Leftiers amongst us are constantly surprised by the way in which Effect resolutely follows on Cause. This time, the unexpected (for them) surprise is that, if you legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, more people will grow more of it: There
