Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In the past couple of weeks, I’ve received phone calls from Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton, among others. Very rudely, I’ve hung up the moment they identified themselves. After all, with a call beginning “Hi, this is Bill Clinton…” I must have been hanging up on
Continue readingSorry for the silence, but it’s been soccer all day long. This is the last gasp weekend of the season, and the kids seem to have been playing non-stop today. I’m kind of done. I love the kids’ soccer, but the carpools and scheduling difficulties have worn me out. It

Continue readingThe internet is an amazing thing. Within one day, that hilarious National Guard photo rebuking Kerry was everywhere. It deservedly got all that attention, but how about a little attention for some other things too? American Thinker points to a story from Investor’s Business Daily explaining that Nancy Pelosi, who
Continue readingJohn Kerry has finally apologized (after first declaring that he’d never apologize). Despite the fact that his explanations and apologies ought to clarify things, I remain confused. It apparently takes a more sophisticated mind than mine to figure out John Kerry’s wiggly progress towards truth and reconciliation. Fortunately, many are
Continue readingIf you’re planning on sitting this one out, please read Selwyn Duke’s article before you do: So many wrong things feel so right. “You know, I really told my brother-in-law off the other day and, boy, did it feel good.” Of course, what has changed? Your brother-in-law is still the
Continue readingThe same Mary Davenport who took on the scientific falsehoods in Michael J. Fox’s ad has co-authored an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle regarding the parental notification proposition (Prop. 85) on California’s ballot. The Proposition requires that, before a teenage girl can have an abortion, the clinic must notify
Continue readingAnd this drek from Virginia candiate James [Jim] Webb is not even redeemed by being marginally good writing. [Be warned that the content I’m sending you to is very graphic.] Hat tip: Drudge UPDATE: My first take on Webb’s writing was as you see it — his stuff is gross
Continue readingOne of the problems in the upcoming Florida election is that Mark Foley’s name is still on the ballot. Republican voters in Foley’s district may think that, with Foley gone, there’s no one to vote for, and simply pass on their Congressional vote. Don’t do that. By ticking off Foley’s
Continue readingIf you’re a California resident, and are struggling through your long and boring voter handbook, check out Laer’s post exposing the myriad, extreme problems with Prop.87. Then, vote NO on Prop.87.
Continue readingAs you may have noticed, the grim (for Republicans) poll data is suddenly shifting, with new life being breathed into Republican campaigns. Someone predicted that months ago, and I think it’s worth honoring that prediction. All the way back in early September, Thomas Lifson wrote about two political seasons: attentive
Continue readingIf you’re one of the disgruntled Republicans thinking of boycotting the polls, don’t. Today, Michael Medved offers eight reasons why you should support your local Republican candidates. Reason number one, standing alone, is good enough for me: 1. Judges. On April 20th of next year, Justice John Paul Stevens (arguably
Continue readingThere’s a dangerous trend amongst Republicans right now to say that the Republican Congress has been weak and profligate and to announce a plan to “punish” Republicans by abstaining from the elections, voting for third party candidates, or even voting for Democrats. I’m sure the Republicans will get the message,

Continue readingWarren Harding was arguably one of the worst, most ineffectual, most corrupt Presidents in American history. Received wisdom was also that, with a huge influx of newly enfranchised women voters, he won 1920’s election because he was a pretty face. (Hard to imagine looking at that face now, but standards
