As Kate over at Small Dead Animals likes to put it, this is where we juxtapose two stories. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVAhr4hZDJE[/youtube] I am sure that this Federal regulation to change street signs all over America is either a response to a national emergency or a last ditch effort to burn up taxpayer

SADIE submitted the following comment and link to one of my earlier posts, which merits its own discussion: Iceland is drawing up a new constitution (they’re currently using a revised Danish version) The constitutional assembly will be made up of 25 to 31 delegates, the final number to be determined

One reason I ceased to believe in God was that I was taught as I was growing up that God knew everything there was to know — past, present and future.  This necessarily meant that the future could currently be known with certainty.  Thus, every apparent exercise of free will

In the comments in the Bookwormroom about liberals one common theme is that liberals cannot and will not argue from the facts.  I was planning to write a post about the national debt when I came across this web page.  Here is a liberal with facts.  For the most part, the discussion

iPhone blogging means I can’t do hyperlinks, so here is a raw link to an article saying exactly what I predicted — women’s sanitary pads are going to trigger patdowns: http://www.infowars.com/tsa-groin-searches-menstruating-woman/

Recently, there have been many comments on this blog and elsewhere disparaging Liberals. It is difficult to have a conversation with them because they are too emotional and don’t think rationally like we do. They refuse to accept facts. Even more extreme charges that they are out to destroy marriage, destroy

DQ here.  Just want to pop in to say Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  Perhaps for this unique holiday we can share with each other what we are thankful for.  I’ll start.  I, of course, am most thankful for my beautiful wife.  We’ve been married 36 years and each has been better

I can’t get my comments feature to work on my iPhone, so I’m going to use my blogger’s prerogative to use a new post to comment re Danny Lemeiux’s post re Sarah Palin. The gal writing in the Atlantic felt that it was unfair that Palin hadn’t been exposed to

Spent the day on I-5 heading down to my wonderful in-laws (all neocons) for Thanksgiving. I-5 is always a slog, but it’s a depressing slog lately because so much land is fallow thanks to federal water/environmental policies. Makes me wonder, again, how Boxer won, again. She’s killing the state visibly

Just came across this opening paragraph from an article on Sarah Palin, in the Atlantic (via Hot Air): “To paraphrase Lillian Hellman, I don’t agree with a word that Sarah Palin says, including “and” and “the.” And as a liberal feminist, it drives me absolutely bonkers that Palin is the

I had a truly strange dream last night.  I dreamed that I was singled out for a TSA pat-down.  I went reluctantly, telling them that I sing when I’m nervous.  (This is not true in my waking life, by the way.)  As they started to pat me down, I started

Liberal /Lefties (let’s call them “Stateopians”) like to say that government “creates jobs”. They’re right. It does…the wrong kinds of jobs. What’s wrong with government jobs? They don’t make profits.  A new DMV worker or TSA groper does not create value, as measured by profits. Quite the opposite, they bleed

While Bookie is contemplating her Goodwill donations, let me throw out a question that’s been nagging at me lately.  Do conservative bloggers make a difference?   Here in the Bookwormroom we used to have regular liberal contributors and lively debates.  Now we look more like an echo chamber.  While I’m not

There are stories like this every day, because the march of time is inexorable.  I just bring to your attention the fact that another Pearl Harbor survivor, one who managed to thumb his nose at the Japanese by living on for another 69 years, has passed on.

From VA Right, discussing the new airport search guidelines: Obama and the Democrats decried the humiliation thrust upon terrorists in Abu Ghraib Prison as torture and humiliation, yet these same people believe the same humiliation and forced nudity thrust upon the traveling public is somehow OK.
