Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As you are, I’m worried about an all Democratic D.C. passing a new “Fairness” Doctrine. I have an idea: if Democrats are worried that liberals aren’t getting their message out over the radio airwaves, why don’t they use taxpayer dollars to fund a station devoted to Democratic messages, and one
Continue readingKnowing as I do that the media is going to puff every tentative step forward by Obama, whether confirmed or not, I’ve simply ignored the news all day. I’m feeling stressed, but want to wait until tomorrow for a definitive answer, rather than to suffer through the roller coaster of
Continue readingDo you think it’s coincidence that the Sunday before Prop. 8 formally goes before California voters, the SF Chron runs an article about a lesbian couple’s wedding that would be perfectly suitable for a saccharine Barbara Cartland romance? I probably wouldn’t have noticed or cared about this little subliminal push
Continue readingYmarsakar is right — contacting the editors at the LA Times to get them to release the video showing Obama cheerfully consorting with radical Islamists is pointless. They don’t care what you and I think. However, as he said, the advertisers and owners do (or, at least, should) care. With
Continue readingThe LA Times has admitted that it possesses a video of Barack Obama cheerfully attending a radical Muslim meeting at which the speakers hurled the usual violent and threatening invective at Jews and at Israel. Also attending were Ayers and Dohrn. One might think that, given next week’s election, the
Continue readingI’d say that this — an article elegantly decrying the collapse of the professional news media — is a must read for today.
Continue readingThought to be extinct, Marinicus Republicanus is emerging from its long dormancy and beginning to make itself known. Tonight, I attended an enthusiastic rally of at least 100 people crammed shoulder to shoulder in a beautiful home in Marin. People were informed, excited, and refused to be intimidated by the
Continue readingThe MSM has been remarkably cavalier about Joe Biden’s bizarre statement regarding the “fact” that America will be attacked six months into a Barack Obama presidency and that people will be shocked and disappointed by Obama’s response (meaning that he’ll either collapse in a sobbing heap, thereby horrifying most Americans,
Continue readingI got this joke in the mail today: A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of

Continue readingOur world view determines how we process new data. If your world view is bounded by race, every new bit of information is going to be run through that racial filter, and divided into “racist” or “non-racist” categories. If you only have two intake bins, the information has to go
Continue readingIn today’s New York Times, there’s a lengthy article about the humiliation routinely visited on elderly people who are called “dear” or “sweetie.” The message conveyed by those terms is demeaning, implying that the person on the receiving end is incompetent, and definitely placing the person in the “one down”
Continue readingFrom James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today: The McCain campaign has released Todd and Sarah Palin’s 2006 and 2007 tax returns, the Associated Press notes in a brief dispatch, which ends as follows: The McCain-Palin campaign had said the tax returns would be released Monday, but it suddenly put
Continue readingI don’t know whether this Churchill story is true. I first read it about 30 years ago in a book printed about 50 years ago. It doesn’t sound like the man, but it’s a good story anyway for my purposes. Churchill was asked to give a speech to a trade
