Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Apparently 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
Continue readingWhether you devour this post in one fell swoop or nibble at it throughout the day, I can guarantee you a lot of food for thought: The VA scandal is gaining traction, as word comes out that the VA already knew back in 2010 that hospitals were manipulating records. Robert
Continue readingThis day has offered an embarrassment of riches when it comes to interesting news and good posts. Without further ado…. This goes to my earlier point about the degradation of black culture at white elitist hands: Towson University’s all-black Team won a national debating championship using incoherent babble sprinkled with
Continue readingFamily took precedence this weekend. I was able to read stuff while I waited here and there for various family members, but I never got to my computer to post anything. I therefore have a huge backlog of articles and posts that I found interesting and would like to share
Continue readingJust a few things that caught my eye as the day went by: In one of his weirdly counter-productive defenses of Hillary, Bill said that there was nothing wrong with her — except that it took her six months to recover from her head injury after her fall. That’s a serious
Continue readingGood stuff today. Really good stuff. Here goes: Kevin D. Williamson says that the IRS scandal is the worst scandal ever in American politics, since it fundamentally undermines our form of government. I’m inclined to agree with him and would even go so far as to wonder whether he’s been
Continue readingI’ve got ten minutes before I have to leave. Let’s see what I can do with it: In Iran, the fashion police aren’t a few mean girls and guys who say snarky things about people who’s clothes don’t measure up to their aesthetic standards. They are, instead, actual police who
Continue readingAn unexpected errand is calling me out of the house in a few minutes. Until then, some quick links: Harvard is now mandating that all students entering its Kennedy school of government must take an official class telling the whites that they’re unduly privileged and everyone else that they’re victims
Continue readingI’ve been a good girl today. I paid bills, cleaned the kitchen, set up appointments for various family members to do various activities, cleared some more stuff out of my in-boxes, and generally did not waste time. Now, though, I’m ready to sit back and “waste” some time by sharing
Continue readingI’m still clearing out the inbox, but I’ve also got some current stuff in here, so I consider this a round-up. I’ll just dive in, with the stuff presented here in pretty random order: Last Sunday, a New York Times op-ed addressed “Why People Don’t Donate Their Kidneys.” Sally Satel,
Continue readingAs I do on a regular basis, I let my inbox reach heroic proportions before, in a panic, I realized that I’d better take care of it because it would only get worse. And as always happens, I found a bunch of gems hiding in there. Some are a bit
Continue readingI’m working on a post, but I’m not quite there yet. Until then, consider this space yours.
Continue readingToday was not one of my more productive days when it comes to writing. However, I don’t regret it too much because I did something wonderfully fun. I’m almost embarrassed to tell you about it because I know you’ll be jealous, but . . . well, I have to boast:
Continue readingLooking at the headlines lately, I have the feeling we’re at a tipping point in America. I’ve had this feeling before, and it’s been an icky feeling, because my concern was that the slippery slope we were about to slide down would land America in the ditch. Now, though, I
Continue readingI’m off to the Travis Air Force Base Open House. I’ll tell you about it when I get back. In the meantime, I’m happy to report that my mother got excellent medical care and is overcoming her pneumonia really well. She feels fine and is still in the hospital only
