Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Hey, everyone! Notice the snazzy, yet austere, new look? It’s not permanent. My wonderful webmaster, Terry Trippany, is trying to figure out why, occasionally, all you see at my site is a string of advertisements. There’s obviously something nasty buried in my theme’s coding. After fruitlessly looking through endless lines
Continue readingHere’s an old joke: An established comedian invited a friend to join him at a very exclusive “comedian’s club.” The guest instantly noticed something peculiar. In the main room, a person would periodically stand up and shout out a number. “57,” one would say, and a few people in the
Continue readingI’ve long been a big fan of Chris Muir’s “Day By Day” cartoon. It’s intelligent, witty, and sophisticated. You can imagine, then, how thrilled I am to have inspired his latest cartoon, this one about Ted Cruz: (If you missed the reference to my blog, check the very bottom of
Continue readingI’ve always like Ecclesiastes. The ennui can be a bit much, but it’s a good reminder that humans, like other animals, fall into patterns, and that the earth abides: 1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of
Continue readingHuffPo referenced me as “a blogger,” but I’m still in there in an article about yet another school that has gone after quite obvious toy guns: Multiple conservative bloggers and news outlets have come out in opposition to the way the school handled the incident. “In a sane world, if
Continue readingI’ve been up and working since 6 a.m., and now it’s 5, and I’m still trying to finish the must-do tasks before I get to the I-want-to-do tasks. Since I’m stalled, though, I wanted to remind you about two of my favorite blog friends, both of whom are also real
Continue readingI hate autoplay videos as much as I do — but some of the videos I posted seem to have had autoplay code in them. I’ve deleted the videos that I thought were the problem. Please let me know if the problem persists — and, most especially, which posts have
Continue readingOne of the great things about getting to know fellow bloggers is getting good tips. I recently got to meet (via phone) Warner Todd Huston, a regular contributor at Breitbart. Not only is he a very nice, and manifestly smart, guy, he also gave me a tip about a cool
Continue readingHere’s an update on the new gig I told you about. For the foreseeable future, I will be the main original content provider at Mr. Conservative — a site that, unknown to most people by name, is one of the most heavily trafficked sites on the internet. Unlike Bookworm Room,
Continue readingI wrote earlier today that something good had happened. I won’t go into too much detail, because I don’t want to ill wish myself at this stage in the game, but I can tell you a little. I’m trained as a lawyer, and I’ve worked as a lawyer — writing
Continue readingIf you’d like to help my friend The Mellow Jihadi win the CPAC People’s Choice blogger award, please vote for him here. Even if he doesn’t win, we want him to make a wonderful showing, don’t we?
Continue readingI’m always a bridesmaid in these things, and never a bride, but I’m still beyond thrilled that John Hawkins included me as a nominee in the 11th Annual Blogger Awards for CPAC. I’m right there under “Best Kept Secret Award.” Indeed, right now, I’m so secret that the link is
Continue readingSpammers have launched a major attack against Bookworm Room. I’m happy to say that the Azkimet spam control function in WordPress is working, in that it’s not publishing all those fake trackbacks and links. That’s good. The bad thing is that Azkimet, overwhelmed by the deluge of both decent and
Continue readingLots of conservatives are realizing that the media is more, not less, powerful now that it’s abandoned its pretend objectivity and become blatantly partisan. Rather than running away, voters gobbled up the media message. Frankly, I don’t get it, but that’s why I’m not a master of advertising and manipulation.
Continue readingYesterday, I directed your attention to Ritely, which aims to be the conservative answer to Reddit. Ritely is easy to use: posting articles takes seconds and it’s got a clear format for finding other people’s posted articles. Today, I get to tell you about Helen’s Page, a conservative information clearinghouse
