Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Political correctness demands that I agree with Lena Dunham that she was raped and that I agree with blacks, race hustlers, college students, and communists that the race problem in America is a white problem, not a black one. To hell with political correctness. I hereby pronounce myself unfettered, and am

Continue readingYesterday I wrote this: More on the UVA rape story I think I’ve made my point that the UVA rape story doesn’t hold up. Something may have happened at UVA — things do happen at drunken frat parties — but it almost certainly wasn’t what’s described in the now infamous
Continue readingI’m still grumbling about the bag bans that have spread from Mill Valley, to all of Marin and now, thanks to those Democrats in the state legislature, to the whole of California. To begin with, I really hate having my government tell me and the merchants from whom I buy
Continue readingMy take: The rioting was a foregone conclusion, and that was true regardless of the grand jury’s decision. People would have hit the streets (hard) whether to celebrate or destroy. Also a foregone conclusion was the fact that Obama did his latest riff on “stupid” police. This president is interested
Continue readingNo intro. Just diving right in here: Kevin Williams wins this week’s prize for best devastatingly honest statements about Obama Kevin Williams argues that, for all his talk of change, Obama is nothing more than a little man who has stepped into a big job and is now busy reshaping the
Continue readingAfter a day of wholesome domesticity, what could be better than a little political commentary? As was the case yesterday, I want to begin with a comment about a Facebook poster a liberal friend put up. This one has to do with complaints about the Obama administration’s anything-but-rapid response to Ebola,
Continue readingThe phrase “size matters” often has sexual connotations, but not in this post. Instead, I’m talking about the dynamics of violence. In the real world, as opposed to a Leftist utopia, big usual has an advantage over small in matters of violence, with weapons being the great equalizer. While I know
Continue readingMy sister summed me up in a sentence: “For an incredibly neurotic person, you’re very normal and easygoing.” I know what she means. All my neuroses are turned inwards. They drive me crazy, but they don’t interfere with anyone outside of my brain. If you meet me, I’m friendly, good-humored,
Continue readingYesterday, the phone or the doorbell rang every 10-20 minutes all afternoon and evening. We had a rotating cast of characters for dinner, one of my dogs hid for the day, and the other dog barked itself into laryngitis. I have no complaints, as I like a social house, but
Continue readingI said yesterday that we have to confront Leftists, because they will never go away. Today, though, I got a perfect example of why it’s so gosh darn difficult to deal with them. To understand this point, I need to take you back to the post I wrote about a
Continue readingIn 1979, the nation was outraged when Dan White, who successfully carried out a premeditated plan to murder San Francisco’s mayor, George Moscone, and first openly gay supervisor, Harvey Milk, was acquitted because his attorneys convinced the jury that White’s excessive consumption of Hostess Twinkies had rendered him effectively (and
Continue readingThe Taliban has hit Marin County (indirectly). Marin County is headquarters for Roots of Peace, an admirable charity that seeks to advance agricultural development in poverty-stricken areas. It has an outpost in Afghanistan, where it seeks to enable the Afghani people to feed themselves. The Taliban can’t have that kind
Continue readingBack in October, I wrote about the fact that one of my sister’s friends had been arrested for allegedly doing a very bad thing. I noted at the time that I had no idea whether or not he’d done the bad thing, but that it was apparent that the prosecutor’s
Continue readingYou’ve already heard, I’m sure, about Delbert Belton, the 88-year-old World War II veteran who was beaten to death by two black teenagers. The police are assuring everyone that there’s no need to get worried, because this wasn’t a race crime. Instead, it was Delbert’s own fault. According to the
