Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I went swimming this morning, which is the next phase in my recovery. Hmmm . . . did I say swimming? It wasn’t really. I was in a pool, but between a dysfunctional left shoulder and a mostly dysfunctional left knee, I couldn’t even manage a good dog paddle. But
Continue readingI’m wondering how the gun-grabbing crowd is coping with the horrible news out of China: terrorists with knives killed 28 and injured 113. One can’t help wondering whether, if some of those hundreds of people trapped in the train station had possessed a legal gun, if the terror wouldn’t have
Continue readingLots of good stuff today, so I’m going to dive right in. As always, these aren’t in any particular order, so you may find interesting things buried halfway down the list. I’ve made the same point before, but I still like to see it come from Daniel Hannan and Jonah
Continue readingFor reasons that make no sense to me, in the past week my daily readership has almost trebled. I suspect a bot has targeted my site but, when I allow myself to pretend that it’s actual people checking out my site, I feel really quite good. And now let’s see
Continue readingIt’s raining!!! In California, that’s cause for celebration. Rain in Marin doesn’t mean it’s raining elsewhere, but it certainly matters to use Marin-ites — we have our own reservoir system, so we’re wholly dependent on local rainfall. Ironically, the rain is slowing down our major yard renovation, and we have
Continue readingJust a few quick links I don’t want to leave on the table before I head down to my perpetual motion machine for the rest of the evening. Earlier today, I bought a Mark Steyn gift certificate to help fund his legal battle against Michael Mann, a man who rejoices
Continue readingI only had a narrow window of time within which to write yesterday, but I was able to get a lot of reading done. I bookmarked all sorts of pages and finally have the chance to share them with you. I need to give a big thank-you to Earl for
Continue readingI need to spend more time at my computer, since blogging is my little endorphin rush. The problem is that I also need to spend 8-10 hours a day hooked up to the continuous passive motion machine, which precludes any writing, whether on my desktop, my iPad, or my daughter’s
Continue readingThe other day, I wasn’t able to get to my desktop computer, which is where I write with ease and fluidity. I was also was quite depressed that day. Thinking about it, I told my sister that I wasn’t depressed because life is temporarily inconvenient. I was depressed, instead, because
Continue readingAs all of you have surely realized, I’m a desktop computer person. Having an ergonomically-curved keyboard at my desk makes for effortless typing. I can’t type when the keyboard is in my lap nor do I do well on traditional flat keyboards, which start me on the road to tendonitis,
Continue readingI have to return to my perpetual motion machine, but before I do, I wanted to throw out a few quick links to things I thought were interesting. Second Amendment supporters cheered when the 9th Circuit (the 9th Circuit!!!) ruled that counties cannot concealed-carry licenses by reserving to themselves the
Continue readingI meant to get an early start this morning so that I could balance necessary continuous passive motion with blogging. Instead, I found myself dealing with clients, driving my children, and taking multiple calls from my mother. The time to blog vanished, and I’m now hooked up to the perpetual
Continue readingI’ve been somewhat housebound since my surgery. I can still drive but I really don’t have many places to go. I’m a complete failure when it comes to crutches, hampered by a bad shoulder, poor balance, and arthritis in the “strong” leg that is exacerbated by all the work that
Continue readingFive days away from my desk and all Hell broke loose on that surface. I’ve cleared several hundred emails, paid several dozen bills, and done several loads of laundry (my office and the laundry room are one and the same). I discovered things I want to blog about, but I
Continue readingThe perpetual motion machine is going and I find it easiest to watch movies while marooned on my backside. I’ll adjust, though, and soon start thinking harder and writing more. Until then…. This must be a record. I’m citing to The Onion twice in one day. But this satirical article
