Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Busy, busy morning, which means that I’m only now sitting down to write. So that you don’t get bored while you wait for my (ahem!) pearls of wisdom (ahem!), I’m posting a clip from Monday’s Dancing With the Stars. Watching it made me happy: Fun music, a fun dance (I

Continue readingI believe I’ve mentioned before that I have a weak spot for Dancing With The Stars. It’s the only reality show I watch and there are two very specific reasons for that. The first, shallow, frivolous reason is that the show is eye candy. The professional dancers move so beautifully,

Continue readingYesterday, I wrote that I examined had all the unfounded theories about the Boston Marathon bombing and reached a conclusion (emphasis added): Frankly, looking at the above, I’m coming to believe that everyone is over-thinking the bombing.

So, they rounded

Continue readingIt’s amazing how tiring even the most limited surgery is. I’ve been hopping about today on one crutch, getting done most of the stuff that I needed to get done, but I am just wasted. I feel as if I walked 1,000 miles, instead of just, at most, a mile,

Such is the case with the story of Obama refusing to share food with Senate Republicans because he hadn’t brought his food taster with him. It might be entirely reasonable for a legitimate target of assassination attempts to have
