Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve spent a bit of the past two days doing housecleaning at my site: I’ve upgraded the comments feature (for the better, I hope) and I’ve rebooted the “read more” feature so that posts are truncated, requiring less vertical scrolling, but can easily be expanded and
Continue readingIf I’ve written this post correctly, it should trigger discomfort in sensitive Leftists. “Trigger warnings,” for those of you fortunate enough not to move in circles that use them, are warnings at the beginning of any information presentation, be it fact or fiction, written or oral, aural or visual. They tell
Continue readingSince I spent yesterday learning CERT stuff (which is a good thing to do in earthquake country), I spent today, rather than my usual Saturday, being a domestic goddess. I’m pleased to say that, as a goddess, it was a good day. I got the laundry done; paid bills; cleaned the
Continue readingNot a lot of posters today, but what I have is awfully good. Thanks, as always, to all my friends who contributed.
Continue readingJust because Republicans took Congress doesn’t mean pressing issues have disappeared. These illustrated posts are always a good short-cut way to remind people what issues need to remain on the front burner:
Continue readingIt seems to me that, as a political watcher and self-appointed pundit, I ought to offer some words of advice to the incoming Republican-majority Congress. There are, after all, a lot of things it can do. Yes, Obama has the veto, but his cries of “do-nothing Republicans” start sounding pretty
Continue readingA batch of posters that helps show some of the things that matter on election day:
Continue readingIt’s hard being old. My mother is cold, but her sweaters are under the bed, where she can’t reach them. She says that the aides in her managed care facility won’t help, so I have to go there and get them for her. I’m going, but part of me is
Continue readingThis has been a very busy day, with me being Mrs. Domestic — driving, shopping, cleaning, cooking…. I also attended a drill working out the bugs in a neighborhood emergency preparedness plan. It was fascinating, and raised a question I wanted to ask of you. But before I get there, I
Continue readingAnother Saturday, another day spent taking care of the family. This one was different only insofar as I spent quite a while helping Little Bookworm finalize the Common Application essay. It was a lot of work, but I think she’s done a good job of presenting herself and her values
Continue readingIn honor of Halloween, I give you the scariest illustrated edition ever — and the most magical thing about it is that the scary stuff is just ordinary commentary about life in Obama’s America in 2014:
Continue readingI am not using the phrase “gathering clouds” as a metaphor for the darkness that seems to be washing over the world. My statement has nothing to do with Ebola, amnesty, Iran and Russia ascendant, polio-like viruses, recession, racial tension, or any of the other blessings in Obama’s America. Instead,
Continue readingI went to the doctor yesterday for an ear infection and discovered that I have high blood pressure. The doctor’s not treating the problem yet, in case my blood pressure was spiked from my ear pain. I certainly hope that’s transitory pain is the reason. In two months, we’ll check again and see
Continue readingYes, there will be more blogging today but, until then, I’ve got a quite amazing collection of pictures, thanks to Caped Crusader and Sadie:
Continue readingMea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa for today’s silence. It’s been family, family, family since I posted my review of Dennis Koller’s Kissed By The Snow: A Rob Kincaid Thriller. No complaints, though. My sister arrived in town unexpectedly and it’s a real and rare pleasure to see her.
