Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Two-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
Continue readingUsually, my illustrated editions are also Open Threads. This time, however, I can’t make that offer because my site’s comments have temporarily vanished. They still exist somewhere, but they’re just not on the blog itself. Don’t despair, though. My wonderful webmaster will fix this. Until then, please enjoy this marvelous
Continue readingI was trying to think about posting today, and instead thought of two songs that really sum up how I feel about the news. After you listen to a little of each (or all of both, if you like), you’ll understand my post, which is that it’s all blah blah
Continue reading“Book-Mom, I just got a call that I have to go to a new job training session today, and I won’t have time to change after school. Can you bring me my good pants?” “Book-Mom, I forgot to bring the check to sign up for the PSAT and today’s the

Continue readingI could have written this morning . . . but I was just too tired. That and doing the laundry, cleaning the kitchen, making breakfast . . . and being tired. I’m headed out for soccer Mom duty, with a hundred mile round trip . . . which isn’t bad
