Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It’s not Christmas at the Bookworm Room unless I post my absolute favorite Christmas carol. I know I’m a couple of days early with this, but it’s such a lovely song, sung so beautifully, that I couldn’t wait to share it with you again: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQWXfHzOKUU[/youtube]
Continue readingI’m still feeling bad about the fact that my knowledge of things military is so pathetic that I managed to call America’s First Sergeant by a rank he hasn’t seen since 1999. It was nice, therefore, to hear Louis Jordan’s G.I. Jive today (about the Army admittedly), and to get

Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I brought to your attention a rock group called Madison Rising. It has the distinction of playing classic guitar rock, with conservative, pro-American lyrics. (Sadly, my 14 year old daughter still prefers LMFAO, but there’s only so much one can do as a mother.) A

Madison Rising has achieved that with “Honk If Want Peace,” a song that vividly illustrates the vast disconnect between Leftist “peace” activists and their violent, destructive, nihilistic activities: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW-x2YMVJCc[/youtube] The lyrics are clear (which I

Continue readingWhen this song came out, in 1982, I loved it because I loved Madness, ska and the generally bonhomie of this song. Listening to it on the radio this morning, I added one more reason: aside from the brother who’s “got a date to keep” (my little guy is too
