Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Political correctness demands that I agree with Lena Dunham that she was raped and that I agree with blacks, race hustlers, college students, and communists that the race problem in America is a white problem, not a black one. To hell with political correctness. I hereby pronounce myself unfettered, and am

Continue readingWe are finally getting some much-needed rain here in here in drought-stricken Marin (although, sadly, not in the rest of California). Weather is therefore quite a conversation topic. Today, my 15-year-old little Bookworm pointed out that the weather forecast is invariably wrong, whether especially when the forecast looks a few
Continue readingI’ve been thinking a lot about Leftists and toddlers. I should start with my biases: I absolutely hated it when my kids were toddlers. On the one hand, they were cute and it was exciting to see them develop as little people, soaking in the world like a sponge. After
Continue readingOne of my Democrat Facebook friends put this poster up on her feed: It’s a fascinating looking-glass view at the world, insofar as it sums up most of the last 14 years in a way precisely the opposite of the way in which conservatives see those years. The praise for the
Continue readingWhy is this a “time warp edition”? Because even though I’m publishing it on Saturday, I actually wrote it on Friday. The reason delayed publishing is because I’m spending all day Saturday attending part II of my CERT training. I expect the training to be more of the same stuff as last
Continue readingI especially enjoyed Klavan’s “21st century” riff, but the whole thing is a amusing — not to mention being a good reminder that words county, and their misuse can be as powerful as their correct use:
Continue readingIt cannot have escaped your notice over the years that the Left is obsessed with poop. In both the spoken and the written word, Leftists are more likely than conservatives to rely on obscenities, especially scatalogical references. It’s for this reason that practically every fifth word Jon Stewart utters is bleeped
Continue readingLena Dunham, who is both a physical and emotional exhibitionist, wrote an autobiography describing her sexual escapades as a child with her much younger sister. When conservatives who are not in thrall to this rather pathetic young woman pointed out that what she was describing was, in fact, child molestation
Continue readingI went to the doctor yesterday for an ear infection and discovered that I have high blood pressure. The doctor’s not treating the problem yet, in case my blood pressure was spiked from my ear pain. I certainly hope that’s transitory pain is the reason. In two months, we’ll check again and see
Continue readingThe Ebola story has temporarily drifted away from Obama’s bull-headed refusal to close the American border to flights origination in West Africa and, instead, focused on a doctor and a nurse. The doctor is Craig Spencer, who came back from volunteer work in West Africa and carried the Ebola virus
Continue readingNo time to talk. I’ll just dive right in. The Canadian shooter: “Fox Butterfield, is that you?” If you recognize the quoted phrase above, it’s because you’ve seen it often enough in James Taranto’s Best of the Web. The “Fox Butterfield Fallacy,” Taranto explains, “consists in misidentifying as a paradox
Continue readingI’m following up on an idea I had a couple of days ago, which is that some of our country’s most prominent and powerful far-Left movers and shakers suffered varying types of extreme trauma when they were young, everything from parental abuse, to spousal abuse, to rape, to appalling survival
Continue readingMy only beef with Bill Whittle videos is that, in addition to cold, hard facts, charmingly and clearly stated, they always include strong partisan statements. Normally, of course, I appreciate strong partisan statements. The problem is that, because the videos show that Bill is a conservative, I can’t post them
Continue readingStill catching up from the devastation that yesterday wrought on my schedule. However, I had the chance to read a few good things: Ken Braun: The real unemployment is much higher and most Americans know it: Regardless of reasons, the net effect of a steadily rising adult population and sharply
