Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This had me rolling on the floor laughing — NOT! This kind of “humor” is so puerile and obvious, not to mention being divorced from reality and completely illogical, that it staggers me that its creator not only gets paid to write this stuff, but that he has a prominent
Continue readingA few Harry Truman quotations: “A President cannot always be popular.” “A president either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt that I could let up for a moment. ” “If you can’t stand the heat,
Continue readingAs part of a much longer article about the Democrat’s foolish faith in the NIE leak, J. Peter Mulhern, writing at American Thinker, offers this nicely phrased analysis about the willing fighters and the potential victims in our society: When you go to war your enemy will enlist people to
Continue readingNow that the uproar over Chavez’s speech has ended, those who were at first a little embarrassed to see someone say at the UN what they’ve been saying everywhere else, have regrouped, and started agreeing with and echoing Chavez. The latest hit piece I read struck me as amusing, because,
Continue readingHere’s the incredible, thoughtful response from Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s President, to a loaded question from AP operative Jennifer Loven, who is married to a Democratic macher and who wouldn’t know an unbiased story if it bit her in the face: QUESTION: Thank you, sir. Even after hearing that one of
Continue readingIn yesterday’s Best of the Web, there is a photoshopped picture of Osama Bin Laden. It took me a minute to recognize that it was pasted over an August picture of Fidel Castro that the Cuban government released to prove that he’s still alive. Am I only the who finds
Continue readingI admire restraint, up to a point. When you reach that point, though, if you continue with restraint, you begin to look weak, foolish and doubtful about your own position. I was therefore delighted to see that the Bush Administration, through Condi Rice, is taking on Clinton’s hysterical attack last
Continue readingDrudge this morning greeted me with the announcement that George Clooney has decided not to run. I think that’s a smart choice. I’ve amused myself in the past by running through a mental list of Hollywood types who have switched from movies to political office. Unless I’m missing something, it’s
Continue readingIf you’re Jewish, you need to read this Ed Lasky article. It has fact after fact describing increased Democratic hostility to Jews and Israel. What’s striking is that the hostility to Israel isn’t simply phrased in neutral terms of “it’s not good for America to support Israel,” something with which
Continue readingJonah Goldberg has a great point today, and one I think I touched upon about a year ago: it wouldn’t be a desperately bad thing if the Democrats were to win the House in 2006. I don’t think Americans, ultimately, will be that thrilled with Democratic rule, and it will
Continue readingSometimes a person will open a fascinating little window into his thinking, and you’ll find yourself looking into an ugly, illogical world that the person completely denies exists. This time, that person is Howard Zinn, well-known as one of the best-selling, most-taught, anti-American authors in the market right now. A
Continue readingIn a slap in the face to Larry Summers (indeed, the New York Times includes many face slaps in its report), a special panel for the National Academy of Sciences has issued a report in which it says it’s entirely the fault of scientific institutions that there aren’t more women
Continue readingI have just witnessed a single change in local voter demographics. My mother, who has always voted Democratic, says that she does not intend to vote for the Democrats any more. She is “disgusted” with them, since they seem ineffectual and have absolutely no plan about any of the woes
Continue readingI’ve never liked Kevin Costner the actor, but today I respect Kevin Costner the man: KEVIN COSTNER has waded into the debate about controversial new movie DEATH OF A PRESIDENT, insisting British director GABRIEL RANGE failed to consider how GEORGE W BUSH’s family would react to scenes of the US
Continue readingSome of us are observing 9/11 with tributes to those who died, some with a focus on the war yet to be won, and some — on the taxpayer’s dime — by taking swipes at the United States. A friend of mine is attending the 2006 Annual Meeting for the
