Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I recognize that my mind makes strange, often counter-intuitive connections, but as I hear Progressives rail against guns, I can’t help but think of slut walks. What?! You don’t know what slut walks are? Slut walks are the latest manifestation of the feminist/Progressive rule holding that a women has no
Continue readingWe won’t change what appears to be happening with increasing frequency to our society until we decide that we will stand up and dare to speak out against the increased depravity of our culture. Definitely “uncool”, but we must do it…for all families, for the kids and for our future. Otherwise, it can only continue to get much, much worse. It is the age of the wolf.
Continue readingApproximately every ten years, Marin County floods. Thinking back, the last big flood year in our neighborhood was around 2002 or 2003. I remember taking the kids down from the hill on which we live to the marshy flat-lands nearby. We waded through water that came up past our knees.
Continue readingI promise that this post will be about what Sheldon Adelson had to say in an interview with Alana Goodman of Commentary Magazine. Before I get there, though, I need to begin with a little story of my own. Readers of my newsletter know that I had lunch last week
Continue readingMy father, alev ha-shalom, had forgotten more about English — his third language — than most people will ever know. In addition to reading novels and non-fiction for pleasure, he would amuse himself reading dictionaries, grammar books, and stories about the English language. (In that last genre, my favorite was one
Continue readingPeople in Marin have been extremely upset about the decision Ken Salazar (Secy of the Interior) made to shut down Drakes Bay Oyster Co. The oyster company is a fixture in Point Reyes, and has been sustainably harvesting oysters for decades. It is insufficiently pure for ObamaWorld, though, so it’s
Continue readingI adore traditional Christmas music, whether it’s the Old English Christmas Carols or the non-denominational Christmas songs that began to the music market with Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. I’m as happy singing O Holy Night as I am singing Here Comes Santa Claus. Christmas songs give me a huge endorphin
Continue reading“Who’s Thomas Sowell?” my daughter asked. “He’s a genius,” I replied. “Why?” “Because he has the rare gift of simplifying very complex ideas without dumbing them down.” See for yourself: After listening to Sowell, my blog’s motto seems appropriate: “Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and
Continue readingI’ve had the same ten tabs open in Firefox this entire day. I feel like a madman, trying to create order out of the chaos in my mind. I’m convinced that there’s a thread tying together these articles, but I can’t figure out precisely what that thread is. Maybe it’s
Continue readingIn today’s news, we learned that Muslims in Libya kidnapped twelve men that they claimed were homosexuals in order to execute them: Extremists say they will execute a dozen men they allege are homosexuals, whom they abducted last Thursday at a private party in Tripoli’s Ain Zara district. A body
Continue readingI’m not boasting when I say that I move in very rarefied circles. It’s a fact that became glaringly obvious to me today when I started reaching out to legal colleagues via LinkedIn. I’m launching a new business enterprise, and those connections will be useful. For those unfamiliar with it,
Continue readingI have some very exciting news: I have found my long-lost identical twin. It’s amazing, really. Like me, my twin grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 60s and 70s. Like me, my twin went to UC Berkeley and found Leftist antics revolting. Like me, my twin
Continue readingPaul Scott challenged us to look at what Eric Garland, a Progressive blogger, has to say and to take it seriously as a way to win the White House. Paul is right — we cannot make a convincing argument unless we know what our opponent in the argument believes. Insulting
Continue readingI managed to miss Sheldon G. Adelson’s pre-election op-ed piece in the WSJ about the sea change in Democrat party values, but it’s never too late to read a good editorial. This opinion piece couldn’t change the election’s outcome, but I think it’s still worth reading, especially if all of
Continue readingMy Facebook friends are besides themselves with delight about Obama’s victory. I get that. What I don’t appreciate is the “kick ’em while they’re down” attitude that these enlightened people show. Herewith, the latest offerings from the sore winners on Facebook. Progressives conflate truly stupid statements about human biology (that
