Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
From Earl, I got some insight into the machinery that’s used to track the climate change that’s in the headlines all of the time. This is information clearly a matched set with the information that a Y2K bug may well be the culprit behind the sudden sky rocketing in US
Continue readingIn my preceding post, I asked you to watch this space as I gather together stuff to blog about. As I take the time to do that (and intersperse that with time spent running the carpools), I suggest that, if you haven’t already seen it, you take the time to
Continue readingI’m on another vacation, sitting in a cyber cafe, working at a small computer with a microscopic keyboard, so it must be random thoughts day. Thank goodness DQ is doing the heavy lifting. The first thing that caught my interest is what Mitt said at the debate, which I really
Continue readingEarlier this week, in “He’s not my President,” I blogged about the fact that many Democrats are, in fact, very un-democratic. In their world, the only good votes are the ones they win, with all others being invalid and subject to attack in whatever way they deem expedient. It seems
Continue readingAce deconstructs The New Republic‘s most recent attempt to explain away Scott Thomas’ rather strange, and almost impossible to corroborate, claims about his macabre and novelistic experiences in Iraq. The more one learns, the more it seems that Thomas wanted to write a semi-biographical version of the great anti-War novel,
Continue readingWe were in some nature preserves on our vacation. In each place, on every informational placard, at least half of the material presented was about the fact that this plant or that animal is going extinct. Other species are moving in and destroying the whatever it is. We must stop
Continue readingThe Left (both at home and abroad) likes to revile the infamous American President “Chimpy-BusHitler,” but they seem to be taking a pass on some people that even the Left would have to concede have a bit more blood on their hands. Mike Adams and the American Thinker take on
Continue readingThere’s been a lot of talk in today’s blogosphere about the way in the Left has responded to Chief Justice Roberts’ seizure, with the perfect example showing up at Wonkette’s website (h/t Independent Women’s Form): Chief Justice John Roberts has died in his summer home in Maine. No, not really,
Continue readingI’ve mentioned before that the home page on Mr. Bookworm’s browser is the New York Times, which very much affects his outlook on things. I’ve therefore been unsurprised that, in the past year or so, my husband has been mouthing a lot of “green” stuff. “Turn off the lights, to
Continue readingI’ve been reading the New York Times’ movie reviews for decades now. I don’t know if they were always so politicized and laden with PC instruction, and I just didn’t notice, or if they’ve gotten more and more liberally pedantic with the passage of time. I do know, though, that
Continue readingIf you’ve been thinking that I haven’t been blogging very vigorously the last couple of days, you’re right. I’ve had a big work project, that started out grim and got rather interesting, and I’ve been getting ready for a trip. I’ll probably blog during the trip, so I’m not signing
Continue readingIf this guy is correct it’s really good news, both in terms of saving the world’s vanishing bee population and in terms of taking some of the heat off of global warming (if you’ll pardon the pun). If he’s wrong, that would be a shame, because the culprit he’s identified
Continue readingNeo-neocon is an elegant writer, so I like her summary of the theater in which the Democrats engaged last night when they called for a slumber party to dramatize their desire to withdraw from the Iraq War immediately. I left a comment at her blog, which I like enough that
Continue readingI’ve never liked the idea of John McCain as a presidential candidate. He’s a little too iconoclastic for my tastes and, as with so many senators in the run for President, he has way too much baggage trailing behind him and too little administrative experience. Another reason I don’t want
Continue readingDrudge gives appropriate prominence to a report that the military caught one of the top guys of Al Qaeda (“which doesn’t exist”) in Iraq: The U.S. command said Wednesday the highest-ranking Iraqi in the leadership of al-Qaida in Iraq has been arrested, adding that information from him indicates the group’s
