Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Even 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
Continue readingI’m working on a nice post, but haven’t had a minute to myself. Today, I’m heading off to the Exploratorium with one of the kids, who needs to go there for a school assignment. I expect to enjoy myself . . . but I won’t be writing anything until this
Continue readingNo talk. Just pictures (with thanks to Caped Crusader and Sadie):
Continue readingI’ve spent five minutes staring at my monitor, trying to come up with a clever lead-in for these posters. My mind is a blank. I’ll just go with the obvious and say I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy these posters, the majority of which (as always) come from Caped Crusader:
Continue readingNo intro. Just diving right in here: Kevin Williams wins this week’s prize for best devastatingly honest statements about Obama Kevin Williams argues that, for all his talk of change, Obama is nothing more than a little man who has stepped into a big job and is now busy reshaping the
Continue readingWhy is it a sad Saturday? Because I read an analysis of 2016 electoral prospects arguing that, while Republicans can definitely win Congress and state houses, the combination of huge Democrat-voting urban areas and the electoral college makes it impossible for Republicans to take the White House. I think that’s
