Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Enough of politics. I need a break from the lies, the spin, the meanness — and that’s just the media. It’s time for a palette cleanser and, with Dancing With The Stars having kicked off its 23rd season, I’ve got that emotional refresher lined up. A quick explanation about why I happen

A weekend migraine kept me glued to watching Supernatural, which was about all I had the mental and physical energy to do. A couple of months ago, when I was still fairly new to the show, I blogged that it is both a moral show and a pro-Christian show. Regarding the latter point,

During the primaries, I was a #NeverTrumper, because I preferred Ted Cruz’s more constitutionally pure political ideology. Unfortunately for me, Ted Cruz didn’t win the primary. The iconoclastic, highly eccentric, often bombastic, and really rather vulgar Donald Trump did. What I did not do when Trump became the Republican candidate was

I’m not much of a TV watcher, preferring to read. Occasionally, though, a show will catch my interest. Such was the case with Dancing With The Stars, which I’ve said repeatedly is a morality tale decked out with dancing and beautiful people. It’s about perseverance, commitment, and a good attitude.

You always think the Social Justice Warriors have hit bottom, and you can safely satirize them, only to have them find another bottom, well below the first one. So it is that this past February, when I read about the CIA’s plan to recruit transgender individuals, I wrote a very
Continue readingBush didn’t, Obama wouldn’t, but the next president should: Call into the Oval Office the leaders of Muslim communities throughout America to say, “Because of the First Amendment, the fact that you and the people in your community practice Islam is irrelevant to us in America. Your faith is your
Continue readingDancing With The Stars’ 22nd season premiered last night. Nyle DiMarco blew me away. He was good by any standards, but the fact that he is completely deaf made it all the more amazing:
Continue readingAll of the posts I’ll link to pre-date today’s New Hampshire primary. This is a NH primary-free zone. You might find it refreshing. And now, to the good stuff: Trump could destroy conservativism in America for decades. I think Charles Krauthammer hits the ball out of the park on this
Continue readingIt’s been some time since my last round-up so, without further ado: A primer for those who need to be reminded why Hillary should be incarcerated, not inaugurated. Deroy Murdock has a knack for political parables. Using the example of the “Foggy Bottom Department Store,” he makes it clear just how
Continue readingThere are lots of enjoyable videos floating around that show clips of old Hollywood musicals put to a modern pop soundtrack. This video, though, has the single best match-up I’ve ever seen, matching perfectly the pacing and rhythm of the old dances when compared to a modern song — the
Continue readingThe Hollywood Reporter has an article announcing that in the reboot of Nancy Drew, the eponymous main character won’t be Caucasian: CBS’ new Nancy Drew will look very different should the network move forward with the reboot. CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller revealed Tuesday that the network’s reimagining of the
Continue readingI have sitting in front of me a piece of a very juicy story that’s happening in real-time — and I can’t do anything about it right now! Two things stop me: The first is that, as I said, I currently only have a piece, and I need more information
Continue readingJohn Kerry is a rather frustrating Secretary of State, not just because he’s uniformly awful, but because he’s so stupid there’s nothing left to parody. The guy parodies himself. Take, for example, his deep and profound statement following last Friday’s Islamic massacre in Paris. It is a tour de force
Continue readingI haven’t had a chance to get much writing done today, but a friend who knows what interests me sent me such a chock-full-of-information email that I’m just going to pass it on to you. Well, the gossip mags have been talking for two weeks about some male star HIV
Continue readingLast night, I saw the new James Bond movie, Spectre. I enjoyed it, although I must admit that it lagged in places. The fight and chase scenes, however, were spectacular, and they went a long way to make up for the slow parts. I’ve also come to like Daniel Craig’s
