Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve had my Red Alert app for 36 hours. In that time, it’s gone off non-stop. I cannot imagine living under siege that way. It makes my own whines and gripes about life in the suburb (few though they may be) quite petty. *** Back in the 1990s, I read
Continue readingThe words “depressing,” or even “apocalyptic” don’t seem to do justice to today’s news. I’ve heightened my own anxiety by downloading to my smart phone an Israeli app called “Red Alert.” Designed for Israelis, it pings their phone every time a rocket attack is launched from Gaza against Israel. The
Continue readingWe had a productive long weekend, in that we made some smart big purchases courtesy of 4th of July sales. I can’t decide whether doing so was patriotic. On the whole, I’m inclined to think that anything I do right now to support the U.S. economy is patriotic. Yay, me!
Continue readingIt’s a holiday, so I’m doing light holiday blogging. However, I’ve lined up for early next morning a BIG POST, so be sure to check it out. Until then:
Continue readingSorry for the long silence today. It’s just that, well, I’ve been busy. In addition to home maintenance and chauffeuring, I swear that someone has wanted to talk to me (by phone, in person, or through text) every 10 minutes all day long. Honestly, I don’t know why because I
Continue readingI haven’t had a minute to myself since 8 a.m. This therefore seems like a good time for a quick post consisting of videos and posters. Videos first: And now the posters: (Thanks to Earl, Sadie, and Caped Crusader.)
Continue readingIt’s quite amazing watching DemProg heads explode on my “real me” Facebook page. To hear them tell it, the Hobby Lobby decision was four white religious men banning women’s right to contraception across America because a mean-spirited Christian corporation demanded that they do so. I’ve been doing my best to
Continue reading[I’ve got to run, but I don’t want to delay publishing this by two or three hours. I’m therefore publishing as is. Please forgive the inevitable typos.] I was reading an enjoyable book about the clash between good and evil. I commented to a friend that the only problem with
Continue readingIt’s been one of those days, beginning at 7 a.m. when the rolls of no-mow lawn arrived. After that came the inspector for some construction work we had, the men installing the lawn, the Sears repairman for my stubbornly broken washer, the cleaning ladies (bless them), and the pool cleaner.
Continue readingPerspective is a good thing. In the middle of the night, one of my children woke me up with the news that he felt really sick and had already thrown up all over his carpet. I tucked him up on a couch and waited until morning to inspect the damage.
Continue readingIt’s a ridiculously beautiful day here, the kind that screams out “God’s in his Heaven, and all’s right with the world.” It’s therefore quite discordant to read headlines and realize that God may be in his Heaven, but Obama is in the White House, the DemProgs are in charge of
Continue readingI’m just thankful that the washer wasn’t doing a bleach load when it decided to break. And I’m thankful that the clothes were mostly rinsed of detergent (indeed, there was so little detergent in them that they weren’t actually cleaned). And I’m thankful that I was able to wring the
Continue readingLooking at recent headlines, I’m tempted to stop calling this a round-up and to start calling it “Today’s trip through the Looking-Glass.” How in the world did we get to this pass, where everything that once was safe and normal is now turned on its head? And no, I don’t expect
Continue readingLots of stuff, little time; skipping preliminary commentary and diving right in: When I die, I want to be reincarnated as Thomas Sowell. There is nobody with his ability to cut through the effluvia on any issue and, in simple language, hone in on the core matter. In this case,
Continue readingApparently the thing that impressed people most about Obama’s visit to Chipotle was the image of him completely ignoring the sanitation barrier so that he could get his burrito exactly the way he wants it. It reminded me of a crude saying about stuck up women: “She thinks her [fecal
