Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It’s getting so that, every day, every where, more and more people are beginning to challenge the “debate is over” pronouncement regarding global warming. My two favorite from today are an interview with Christopher Horner, an environmental lawyer and (former?) liberal who wrote the The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global
Continue readingAre you already acquainted with Neo-Neocon? If you are, you might not know that she has a new address, here (so update your blogroll). If you’re not, you’re in for a treat, because Neo has some of the most thoughtful, learned posts around. One of the things she tackles today,
Continue readingOne of the things that T.S. raised in my original Scooter post was that Fitzgerald said that it was wrong to disclose Plame’s identity. Now, as a lawyer, I can tell you that the fact that Fitzgerald said something doesn’t make it so. In fact, nothing a lawyer says is
Continue readingThis kind of writing is why I’m not going to turn my back entirely on Ann Coulter, even when she makes inept (and, yes, offensive) jokes, not so much about John Edwards and gays (although they were caught in her misfire), but about a type of political correctness that has
Continue readingFrom Jay Nordlinger: Reading about John Edwards and what he thinks Jesus would think of us, I remembered the rule. You know the rule, don’t you? You can talk about Jesus and religion all you want, if you’re a liberal Democrat. That’s cool. But if you’re a conservative Republican, you
Continue readingOver the months, I’ve denigrated Western global hysteria on the ground that whatever we do is irrelevant. China (and possibly India) will make the difference. To pat myself on the back, I was right: Far more than previously acknowledged, the battle against global warming will be won or lost in
Continue readingThis time, I’m going to be brief (dinner to prepare, slumber party to calm, dog to walk, yadda, yadda, yadda). Just go to Media Lies and see a good article about the real scandal behind Gore’s posturing — and it’s not those $30,000 annual energy bills.
Continue readingAl Gore might be thinking right now that he’s fallen into the “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it” trap. After all, his film, having won an Academy Award, is now coming under more intense scrutiny than ever. Wait, that’s wrong. The film isn’t, but Al is.
Continue readingCoincidentally, a day after An Inconvenient Truth won its Oscar, Netflix delivered the same film to us. We watched it last night. Or rather, I should say, I attempted to watch it. After ten minutes of listening to Al Bore’s disconcertingly slow and rhythmic voice (disconcerting, because the speed and
Continue readingBecause the Left is so exquisitely attuned to pejorative words, a Florida Democrat wants to ban the State government’s use of the phrase “illegal alien,” preferring the oh so much more polite and non-judgmental “undocumented immigrant.” Please pass me the barf bag. This attempt to dress up illegal conduct in
Continue readingTwo personal anecdotes and then I’ll get to my point. 1. When my first Little Bookworm was born, I went into a fairly deep funk. She was a lousy sleeper, and I’m generally not very good at handling change in my life. Between fatigue and my own personal inflexibility, all
Continue readingAs you know, I agree with Ann Coulter, who considers Obama a singularly uninspiring orator. She thinks he’s given a pass because he’s black. I think he’s given a pass because, in our inarticulate age, he’s able to string sentences together (something, sadly, that President Bush can’t do). Take, for
Continue readingJohn Edwards is clearly attempting to attract the European vote. It was Europeans after all, who opined in large numbers that Israel is the most dangerous nation in the world. In a clear effort to attract Europeans to the polls in 2008, Peter Bart’s column reports on this gem: “Perhaps
Continue readingI recently blogged here, here and here about my increasingly strong belief that we’re engaged in weather warfare. Noel Sheppard gives lucid life to my incoherent attempt to grasp at a core truth in the increasingly hysterical global warming debate: Don’t you love it when these sanctimonious socialists claim to
