Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m such a verbose person, it always stuns me when I see people reduce rather complex thoughts to a single poster. I’ll never be able to do that, but at least I can share with you all the posters that come my way. Today’s batch is, as is so often
Continue readingIt’s a sleepy day so, despite help from Sadie, Caped Crusader, and my own Facebook trawling, I don’t have a lot of pictures. The ones I do have, though, are very, very good:
Continue readingI’m so sorry about the long silence today. In the morning, I took care of family matters. In the middle of the day, I went and heard Stephen Moore speak in San Francisco. Since returning from that lunch talk, I’ve been prepping for the big storm: I shifted stuff in
Continue readingAnother day, another trip to the doctor for my mother and, by extension, for me. Here are just a few quick links before I go: Cop cams are great if you don’t value your own privacy The Brimfield Police Chief is at it again, dispensing common sense. This time, he’s
Continue readingNo time for an intro. I’ll just head straight for snark and links:
Continue readingEven though I’ve been away from the computer a bit in the last few days, my wonderful friends Caped Crusader and Sadie have continued to be zealous about finding the best posters from all over the blogosphere. I’m playing catch-up today, so I’m going to jumble all 35 of them in
Continue readingA cold has been making the rounds in my neighborhood and it finally caught up with me. I don’t feel particularly ill, but I feel congested and quite desperately sleepy. I had a great deal to do today, and mostly managed to re-read Agatha Christie’s Mrs. McGinty’s Dead, which wasn’t
Continue readingA fellow conservative and I spoke last night about the primary emotion driving limousine liberals’ politics: Their politics announce to the world that each is “a good person.” It’s an extension of that saying that “conservatives view liberals as misguided; liberals view conservatives as evil.” The unspoken corollary to that
Continue readingI could just as accurately have entitled this post “The EXTREME illustrated edition,” because I’ve got a sizable backlog of wonderful posters (mostly from Caped Crusader). All are thought provoking and most are amusing. So please enjoy yourself:
Continue readingI spent a large part of my day hanging around waiting for the plumber to come and, once he came, hanging around while he did his thing. Surprisingly (for me, at least), this is not a complaint. I’m fortunate enough to have found a wonderful plumber (Marin residents can email
Continue readingIt’s been a long week and it’s only Tuesday. I had originally written a four paragraph screed complaining about my week so far and then had a sudden attack of sanity and deleted it. Yay for me and lucky for you! Here’s the good news: Massive amounts of rain. Yes,
Continue readingEvery homeowner knows the feeling: all systems in the house break down simultaneously. This makes sense, of course, because most systems are installed simultaneously, either during a build or a remodel. At our house, the problems are going from top (defective roofing shingles) to bottom (worn-out sewer), with all manner
Continue readingIt’s been raining steadily and heavily for hours, which is such a wonderful thing. Equally wonderful is the fact that (knock on wood) nothing has leaked, flooded, or backed-up on our property since this rainfall began. I’m still mired in backlog from spending the last few days putting out family-related
Continue readingI was originally going to title this post the “deja vu” edition, because Saturday was a repeat of Thursday: I had to rush off to my Mom to help her with some crisis and, when I returned home, I discovered that our sewage line had backed up. If my days
Continue readingEven by my family’s standards, the past few days have been more than usually demanding. This evening marks the first time in two days that I’ve even looked at my email. I haven’t read news, I haven’t thought of anything other than dealing with family dynamics, and I certainly haven’t
