Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ebola in America is a failure of Big Government Yesterday I pointed out that, in all times and all places, protecting a population from epidemic disease is one of government’s core functions. (It’s irrelevant that these efforts often failed; government was still expected to make them.) Obama is failing that
Continue readingI did something wonderful today: I met Earl Aagaard and his wife, Gail. They had been visiting friends and managed to swing through Marin on their way back home. As is always the case when I finally meet someone with whom I’ve been corresponding for years, the simpatico feeling is
Continue readingI had a peaceful day planned, one that included a lot of blogging. Then real life intruded. Things started off well enough when I got a lovely hair cut, which is always a happy experience in my day. Then, my Mom asked me to take her to a doctor we
Continue readingBlogging is a challenge today, because the high-speed internet for the whole neighborhood has a problem. Comcast is working on the problem, and believes it will fix everything by 6 p.m. For now, though, the internet comes and goes quite randomly, so I’ll try to squeeze in something quick while
Continue readingI’ve got a lot of open tabs with all sorts of random, but useful and interesting, information. Here goes…. Whither Eric Holder? The Watcher’s Council has a new forum up, this one examining Eric Holder’s resignation and his future plans. I don’t think I’m giving too much away if I
Continue readingAs always, my thanks to Caped Crusader for all of the wonderful posters above. Also, I’ve got one from Sadie. My only complaint about this cartoon is that it’s unfair to Granny Clampett: Lastly, a video showing what happens when you ask Texas A&M students to dance for five seconds, without
Continue readingMy sister summed me up in a sentence: “For an incredibly neurotic person, you’re very normal and easygoing.” I know what she means. All my neuroses are turned inwards. They drive me crazy, but they don’t interfere with anyone outside of my brain. If you meet me, I’m friendly, good-humored,
Continue readingGetting my act together. In the meantime…. I had to look twice at this one and then I thought “Wow, that’s clever!” I don’t know that I’ve heard such a pithy analysis before about the fundamental incompatibility between socialism and the American way: As for the rest, I don’t have
Continue readingI’ve been in continuous domestic goddess mode since 6:30 a.m. That’s a ten-hour day of domestic goddess-hood. My house sparkles, my refrigerator is full, my closets bulge with clean laundry, my bills are paid, my correspondence (most of it) put in the “done” file and, except for the fact that
Continue readingAll day today, I kept heading up to my computer to read and blog, and every time I neared my office, a powerful domestic and/or maternal and/or social tractor beam pulled me away. At last, though, I broke free of the tractor beam and I’m here, trying frantically to impart
Continue readingI can feel the demands of Monday creeping up already, so I thought I’d rush through a few things that people (mostly the wonderful Earl Aagaard) were kind enough to send me. Here goes: Why do American Muslims love Obama, while non-American Muslims hate him? Here’s a conundrum: Obama is
Continue readingI’ve managed to cross only half the items off my to-do list today, and I’ve been at it non-stop since 7:30 this morning. I keep waiting for things to slow down, but they never do…. Still, the good thing about my own Facebook page (which has lots of Israel-friendly links)
Continue readingI was in perpetual motion yesterday, driving teenagers all over the place, to both sports and social activities. My day ended at 11:30 at night, by which time writing was no longer an option. Today is moving in the same direction. I’m leaving now for several hours of rec soccer
Continue readingOne of my readers, who prefers anonymity, sent me a wonderful collection of posters. Naturally, I have to share them with you:
Continue readingYet another day where I start with an apology for not writing more or writing sooner. I had what I think is a fairly severe arthritis flair-up, loaded myself up with anti-inflammatory meds, and took a long nap. Thankfully, I’m feeling better and moving easier, so it’s time to write!
