Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
No comment. The text speaks for itself: Global warming is an entirely natural phenomenon and its effects can even be beneficial, according to two leading researchers. Recent climate change is not caused by man-made pollution, but is instead part of a 1,500-year cycle of warming and cooling that has happened
Continue readingTruther madness has invaded Germany at the highest levels: one of the government-run TV stations ran an “investigative” show that examined whether it was OBL or the US government that took down the Twin Towers and tried to destroy the Pentagon and other buildings in D.C.: Have you heard this
Continue readingMr. Bookworm has liked the singing duo Indigo Girls for as long as I can remember, and I’ve disliked them, very much, for equally long. To my ear, there is a bullying, hectoring tone to their singing that is just a complete turn-off. Considering how little I like them, I
Continue readingOne of my favorite sites in the blogsphere is American Thinker — and I don’t say that just because it’s been kind enough to publish a few of my longer articles. I think that, on a daily basis, editor Thomas Lifson offers readers a wonderful potpourri of quality writings about
Continue readingThrough a reader, I just got wind of the shenanigans (or, should I say, the Sheehan-igans) going on at Beyt Tikkun, the ultra Left wing synagogue in Berkeley. It turns out that the special guest at this year’s High Holy Days is going to be none other than Cindy “get
Continue readingMr. Bookworm tried to get me interested last night in an endless miniseries from a couple of years ago called Into the West, which has Steven Spielberg as its executive producer. Here’s the IMDB plot outline: An epic tale of two figures during the American colonization of the west, one
Continue readingIn an inspired Wall Street Journal article, Kimberley Strassel points out that Republican candidates, at their peril, are ignoring women, while Democratic candidates, knowing that women voters are the statistical difference for them between success and failure, are wooing them aggressively. This wooing needed go well. Strassel explains that the
Continue readingWhy isn’t anyone in Hollywood making movies about the abuses the terrorists within Iraq perpetrate against Americans and Iraqis? How honest is it to take one incident involving Americans and then to build a Riefenstahl-esque propaganda film about it, when you have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of incidents in which Islamists
Continue readingMr. Bookworm and I watched Obsession, the Movie Tonight, something that ought to be required viewing for all Democrats and, especially, for all members of the MSM (assuming any difference between the two groups). At the end, Mr. Bookworm acknowledged that, of course, radical Islam is a threat, but that
Continue readingI quickly wanted to touch on a couple of money matters. First, you may recall the absolute horror Americans experienced a few years ago when they heard about the size of the national debt. We were so broken in many people’s minds that there seemed to very little separating us
Continue readingThe Confederate Yankee rightly points out that all dishonest war reporting, whether it paints Iraq as a grim hellhole populated by evil US soldiers, or a glorious victory for American-style peace and democracy, is a very bad thing and must be nipped in the bud: If we’re to make any
Continue readingAs you may recall, I thought it was a mistake to stave and dehydrate Terri Schiavo to death. We know so little about the human brain and, as long as her parents were cheerfully willing to care for her, I thought it was out and out murder to bar them
Continue readingSan Francisco is a small town and I knew Naomi Wolf when we were both young. With the best will in the world, I didn’t like her. Okay, I’m lying — I didn’t have the best will in the world. I was an insecure teenager, and viewed with hostility anyone
Continue readingAs you may recall, a couple of days ago I asked why there had been no comment whatsoever in the conservative blogosphere about a New York Times op-ed piece in which seven active duty soldiers criticized the Iraq War. In updates to that same post, I was able to point
Continue readingIn a bizarre speech yesterday, Hillary wittingly or unwittingly admitted that the Republicans are best when it comes to security against terrorism. Here’s what she said: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday raised the prospect of a terror attack before next year’s election, warning that it could boost the GOP’s efforts
