Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My 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!
Continue readingEarl Aagaard send me some cool science-related articles so, before I start writing up a post that came to me in a dream (and that’s always a bad sign), I wanted to head these items your way: Federal money drives bad science Dr. Patrick Michaels points out that part of
Continue readingNo time for throat clearing. I’m just going to throw myself into the final phase of spindle-clearing: Obama’s Alinsky Rules: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Kevin D. Williamson uses the administration’s latest ad hominem attacks on Bill O’Reilly to remind us that Obama’s administration is
Continue readingI learned something today: our local indoor shooting range, Bullseye (a most delightful place), will not allow unaccompanied people to rent guns. When I first told I needed a companion to rent a gun, I thought it was because I had “amateur” written all over me. It turns out, though,
Continue readingI’m working away at my inbox backlog, and have lined up the first batch of interesting things I’d love to share with you. ISIS’s dangerous appeal to disaffected Westerners, Muslim and non-Muslim alike Both Daniel Greenfield and Caroline Glick warn that there’s something very unusual and extremely dangerous about ISIS:
Continue readingAccording to Alexandre Dumas’s delightful and timeless The Three Musketeers, Louix XIII of France, burdened by the duties of kingship, would frequently draw aside favored courtiers and complain to them “Je suis ennui [I am bored].” I am almost never bored . . . unless I’m overwhelmed. In that case, my brain
