Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Saturdays are busy days for me. I spend my time being a domestic Goddess, usually to the exclusion of everything else, blogging included. Thankfully, though, Caped Crusader sent me an excellent batch of posters. I honestly have no idea how he is able to find so many good things day
Continue readingMy friend Sally Zelikovsky came up with the pun about a new sport called “E-bowling” after word emerged that the New York physician, who was ostensibly “self-isolating” himself, actually trawled all over the New York, using subways and Uber, to engage in activities ranging from dining out to bowling. I

Continue readingNo time to talk. I’ll just dive right in. The Canadian shooter: “Fox Butterfield, is that you?” If you recognize the quoted phrase above, it’s because you’ve seen it often enough in James Taranto’s Best of the Web. The “Fox Butterfield Fallacy,” Taranto explains, “consists in misidentifying as a paradox
Continue readingI did it! I went through all umpteen hundred emails in all my accounts and I feel positively purified. I also have twenty-seven tabs open, all of them with content that’s just begging to go into a round-up. This is not that round-up. Instead, while I work on that round-up,
Continue readingTwo-hundred emails down, another one-hundred-fifty to go. While I struggle through the list, and apologize profusely to all the people I wrongly neglected, please enjoy this Open Thread. Oh, and some music: I love that image of a bird “throwing his heart at the sky.”
Continue readingIt’s always the same: Over the weekend, because of family demands, I get almost no time at my computer, and my email starts to back up. By Tuesday, between my two email accounts, I have several hundred unread emails. I then do the logical thing: I cravenly avoid my computer.
Continue readingAfter a day of wholesome domesticity, what could be better than a little political commentary? As was the case yesterday, I want to begin with a comment about a Facebook poster a liberal friend put up. This one has to do with complaints about the Obama administration’s anything-but-rapid response to Ebola,
Continue readingBefore I dive into my round-up, I wanted to discuss with you a poster that a very liberal friend of mine put up on Facebook. It’s the Leftist version of various posters you’ve seen here discussing Leftist logic (e.g., as Dixon Diaz says, “A liberal is someone who lives in
Continue readingSorry for the downer title, but the news is anything but good, wherever one looks. At the home front we’ve had flat tires, broken bones, and dead phones. (The broken bone belongs to my exchange student, who is disappointed, but not too terribly damaged, thank goodness.) The past few day’s
Continue readingI was thinking of calling this post the “doggy breath” edition, but realized that it would make for a more than usually meaningless caption. But honestly, it is the doggy breath edition. I have a great round-up post I’d like to write, but I can’t this morning because I have to
Continue readingYes, it’s another round of awesome images, courtesy of Caped Crusader.
Continue readingStill catching up from the devastation that yesterday wrought on my schedule. However, I had the chance to read a few good things: Ken Braun: The real unemployment is much higher and most Americans know it: Regardless of reasons, the net effect of a steadily rising adult population and sharply
Continue readingReading the news lately is not conducive to good mental health. Obama has become a one man Murphy’s Law: on his watch, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. We are watching a train wreck in real-time. It’s as if someone back in the 1950s came out with a
Continue readingI have been busy this morning. I made breakfast and got three teens off to school, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the mouse cage, washed and folded two loads of laundry, figured out parking for the USS America commissioning ceremony tomorrow morning, and talked to my mother. I’m now working on
