Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My post title notwithstanding, I am well, I have been well, and I expect that I will continue to be well. It’s just that I’ve spent between five and fifteen hours every week for the last few weeks in doctors’ offices thanks to my mother and my kids, all of
Continue readingThis weekend there’s a wedding that I’m very happy I’ll be able to attend. There are only two downsides: (1) The dogs have to go to the kennel and (2) I have to pack. Both those things make me sad. The posts to which I link are an equally mixed
Continue readingI spent way too much time today wearing my lawyer, daughter, and mother hats, with no time for my blogger hat. Well, the blogging time is now, and I’ve got lots of stuff to share. As is often the case when I’m tired, these are not in any particular order,
Continue readingOnce again, my post caption is misleading. This post has nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo. It just has to do with all the fascinating stories I’ve read in the last few days. These are in no particular order, so you’ll have to read all the way down to make
Continue readingMy post caption to the contrary, this post has nothing to do with technology — except that technology explains why I started writing at 10:30, not 8:30. My computer apparently had a sudden yen to pretend that I had a dial-up modem and to start downloading information at speeds that
Continue readingOne of the truisms I grew up hearing is that “revolutions always eat their own.” I have understood this to mean that, in any revolutionary movement, the second generation, having been marinated longer in the revolutionary brine, is more extreme than the first generation and invariably purges that first generation.
Continue readingOne of the things Nazis understood is that, if you get them young enough, you own them. Some of them break away, of course, but they have to want to break away. (And yes, that’s exactly like the joke: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
Continue readingI’ve noticed how proud Leftists are of their “Je Suis Charlie” cries. I’ve also noticed that, while all of them like to show tearful and/or bloody pens and pencils, none are showing pictures of Mohamed. Not nasty pictures, but any pictures — like this one: You see, these so-called liberals don’t
Continue readingI’ll admit that I don’t get it (“All is forgiven.” Huh?), but I’ll certainly publish it because it’s not obscene. As matter of personal standards and preference, I don’t like making obscene jokes about other people’s religious leaders, prophets, icons, gods, etc. But I am most certainly willing to use my

And as an added bonus, a quotation from Richard Fernandez: The two suspects cornered in a building are sending a message with their unyielding violence that the political establishment has failed to understand. Multiculturalism is dead.
Continue readingParisians apparently turned out en masse to honor the Charlie Hebdo murder victims. It’s too late to wonder whether these weeping Parisians could have prevented this massacre if, over the years, they’d shown the same courage as the Charlie Hebdo editor, cartoonists, and staff. Perhaps if they’d stood up for their culture,
Continue readingThis has been a very busy day, with me being Mrs. Domestic — driving, shopping, cleaning, cooking…. I also attended a drill working out the bugs in a neighborhood emergency preparedness plan. It was fascinating, and raised a question I wanted to ask of you. But before I get there, I
Continue readingGeorge Will explains with remarkable clarity exactly how “campaign finance reform” laws — especially the attempt to amend the Constitution to allow incumbents to regulate political spending — are nothing more than restrictions on free speech:
Continue readingYet another day where I start with an apology for not writing more or writing sooner. I had what I think is a fairly severe arthritis flair-up, loaded myself up with anti-inflammatory meds, and took a long nap. Thankfully, I’m feeling better and moving easier, so it’s time to write!
