Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Reading the news lately is not conducive to good mental health. Obama has become a one man Murphy’s Law: on his watch, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. We are watching a train wreck in real-time. It’s as if someone back in the 1950s came out with a
Continue readingIn connection with my post my post about War, Disease, and Malthusian Leftists, Kathy from Kansas wrote something very interesting (and, when my comments are restored, you can see it for yourself). She said “I noticed a long time ago that most of the little foot-soldiers in groups such as
Continue readingEbola in America is a failure of Big Government Yesterday I pointed out that, in all times and all places, protecting a population from epidemic disease is one of government’s core functions. (It’s irrelevant that these efforts often failed; government was still expected to make them.) Obama is failing that
Continue readingI’ve been a fan of Elbert Guillory since May 2013, when he was still a Democrat. Given how much I liked him, I was not surprised when he announced that he was leaving the Democrat party. Guillory’s explanation for his decision to switch party affiliations ought to be seen by every
Continue readingAll day today, I kept heading up to my computer to read and blog, and every time I neared my office, a powerful domestic and/or maternal and/or social tractor beam pulled me away. At last, though, I broke free of the tractor beam and I’m here, trying frantically to impart
Continue readingLong ago in China, a boy coming home from school met up with his father, who was carrying on his back a basket holding the boy’s grandfather. “Oh, father,” asked the boy, “where are you taking Honorable Grandfather?” The father signaled that the boy should come closer, and then whispered
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!
Continue readingAmerica’s upper classes are now and have always been insecure. Lacking a hereditary nobility, social strivers have had to work hard to distinguish themselves from the masses when the only distinguishing feature, really, is cash. In the 19th Century, worried rich people formed “the Four Hundred” to distinguish the social

Continue readingI started a long post a few days ago, because I thought I saw a common thread linking Ray Rice, women in combat, the Rotherham sex scandal, etc., but I just couldn’t control all that material. The short version of my theory is that women in the West have never
Continue readingI just have to share with you some of the reader comments (now totaling 85) to Danny Lemieux’s American Thinker article. A lot of them elaborate on or repeat the theme, or engage in long dialogues with each other. Some comments, though, give praise. Full, honest, rich praise: SmallSherm Yes,
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, Danny Lemieux wrote a post here about the moral crisis Americans face. Several of you wrote to me suggesting that Danny expand upon that post and turn it into a full-page article for one of the big sites. Danny did just that. You can find his post
Continue readingYahoo News had a short photo essay about transparent animals. I’m by way of being a transparent animal myself this year. Thanks to bone and muscle breakdowns, surgery, and anemia, I’ve been cut open, scanned, x-rayed, probed, and pretty much turned inside out in an effort to repair what’s wrong.
