Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
There’s nothing like a Progressive who’s not worrying about reelection. If you thought Barney Frank’s moobs were repellent, wait until you get a look inside Lynn Woolsey’s brain. The 10-term House Democrat from Marin County is retiring this year, so she finally feels that she can speak freely. It’s not
Continue readingHere’s a Robert Samuelson article, “bye bye Keynes” that should give us all pause: the arguments he uses to write Keynes’ obituary are arguments that we all posited in our own excoriation of Keynes in years past, in response to a string of commentators, ranging from A to Z. I’ve
Continue readingAs I was up early, I listened to KSFO’s Brian Sussman show. A man called in, identified himself as someone who works at the Port of Oakland, and described with some amusement the eight or so luxury buses that pulled up, disgorging a bunch of people in their 30s and
Continue readingOkay, this is seriously NSFW, since Carolla is exceeded only by Jon Stewart when it comes to F-bombs (except without the little “beeps” that let people pretend Stewart isn’t really swearing). If you can, though, ignore Carolla’s language and listen to it when you get the chance. Adam Carolla applies

Continue readingFor those of you interested in the fact that several thousand more East Anglia climate change emails are now available for public consumption, many of which indicate that the climate change proponents were aggressively pushing a theory in advance of actual data, here are four good links: Watts Up With
Continue readingFrom Zombie, who comments on the gaggle of giggling girls who gleefully relive their pepper spray experience, and From Castra Praetoria, who’s been pepper sprayed a few times himself (but all in the line of duty), and also From James Taranto, who notes that a lack of actual aggression doesn’t
Continue readingI can’t remember if I wrote it here, but I know that, in lunches with Don Quixote, I’ve discussed the parallels between the OWS protests and the Chicago convention in 1968. Rather than gather my slightly fragmented thoughts, I’ll just pass the baton to Bruce Kesler, who ably discusses the
Continue readingOWS may not have an intelligible platform, but it has a goal. Zombie makes that point perfectly clear.
Continue readingWhen my son was very little, he always asked me, “Are lions bad?” What he really meant to ask is “Are lions evil?” I always explained to him that lions aren’t bad, because they don’t make moral decisions. They are animals, acting according to instinct. Evil means understanding right or
Continue readingThis is as pithy a summary as any I’ve seen about the antisemitism permeating Occupy Wall Street, and binding together the Left, the Islamists, and the White Supremacists: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmTMIjkMoLk[/youtube] (If the video isn’t showing up, watch here.) By the way, why is no one commenting on the fact that the
Continue readingIt’s a Halloween parable about the Occupy movement (and it’s leader, Barack Obama). The scary ending fits in well with the Halloween theme: Hat tip: Power Line Blog
Continue readingYou and I have long known that the Occupy movement is destructive, not constructive. The MSM, however, was very excited, largely because they too knew it was destructive. Their problem was that they assumed it would destroy “Wall Street.” By the way, there’s an amorphous concept if ever I heard
Continue readingI’m noticing signs of “Occupy” ennui. Even those who were enthusiastic about the movement at first seem to be getting bored. On the “real me” facebook, there’s been (at a guess) a 75% drop-off in posts from limousine liberals applauding the 1%. Was it the endless, self-serving demands that the
Continue readingBy the time I returned from the pool yesterday, I was too tired and cold even to turn on my computer, let alone write anything. I’m leaving in a couple of minutes for another cold day — although, having learned my lesson, I’ve doubled my supplies. I should be more
