Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Gateway Pundit did a snarky little post about the suffering, the terrible suffering, Plame and Wilson have undergone since they rocketed to MSM fame. Only those who have to live through it can understand the agony of the jet-set lifestyle, complete with designer magazine covers. No wonder they had to
Continue readingOne of today’s most emailed NPR stories discusses a book by Robert Jensen, a professor of media ethics and journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. In his book, Jensen purports to explain why all white people are in fact racists. I haven’t listened to the story, nor have
Continue readingI'm actually being a bit generous using the world "science" here, and I only use it because the newspaper article I'm going to savage uses the word — in the title of the article, no less. In fact, this is pseudo science being bent to make a political point: Bush
Continue readingI mentioned attending a graduation on Friday. One of the speakers gave a beautiful speech about his hope that the children leaving the school would become leaders, not necessarily by becoming famous, but by doing the right thing. His point was that those who act morally are inevitably leaders. I

The author points out that just as George Bush is reviled and suffering terrible poll numbers, so too did Harry Truman. But the passage of time has shown that
Continue readingJust a quick observation. After 9/11, when Bush showed such strong resolve regarding Afghanistan, and his critics began to amp up the rhetoric about his religious beliefs, I used to joke that these insults might have an unexpected side effect vis a vis those hostile to America. While you and
Continue readingThose suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome like to claim that the increase in Muslim vs. everyone attacks are all George Bush's fault, because he had the temerity to strike back. Certainly, we're more aware of Muslim vs. the world attacks, because 9/11 got our antennae up. It's useful, though, to

Continue readingJames Taranto (and Co., I guess), writing at Best of the Web Today, has an excellent mini-essay about the tortured relationship between the Left on the one hand, and President Bush and foreign policy (vis-a-vis terrorism) on the other hand: Al Qaeda and the former regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq
