Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A rising San Francisco tech yuppie said what all the hard-working young San Franciscans think about the homeless and derelicts who swarm San Francisco’s streets but that none dare to say aloud. (I remember well the quiet grumbling about the homeless back in my young days as a downtown yuppie,
Continue readingOne of my children had technical difficulties with a project (it hadn’t occurred to her to download a trial video editor software that she needed for a project), so I’ve been up quite late putting that project to bed. That’s okay — it’s why I’m the grown-up and she’s still
Continue readingPalestinians only destroy. Israelis not only create, they resurrect. It’s amazing to see sophisticated plumbing emerge from the earth after 12 centuries. Even the New York Times is being forced to tell the truth about those new Obamacare policies — they’re really expensive. In isolation, high deductibles might not be
Continue readingThis one’s a little bouquet of stuff, hence the little bouquet “branding” photo: Queen Victoria was famous for using the royal “we” because she understood that all of her public utterances were on the nation’s behalf. Barack Obama and Joe Biden don’t get that. The road to Hell is paved
Continue readingI need to take care of some things for my Mom, so I won’t be blogging until about 11 a.m. PST. Until then, Open Thread!!!! Yay!!!!
Continue readingSorry for the silence, but since yesterday, my computer has been commandeered for a family project and I’ve not had any access to it. Blogging on my iPad is not an option, because of the same family project. I might get my computer back this afternoon and I’ll definitely have
Continue readingThat I am an indifferent cook is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that my proudest boast about my Thanksgiving dinner is that nobody got food poisoning. Other than that, the food, over which I labored for two days, was more than adequate. I had the whole Thanksgiving megillah: Turkey
Continue readingI’d reached critical mass in the inbox. It was either spend the day working through it or go nuclear which, in my case, doesn’t mean blowing up Israel, but does mean simply deleting everything in my inbox, knowing that there’s no way I will ever read what’s in there. I
Continue reading(Yes, I know it’s already afternoon for some of you, but it’s morning here, and I’m rolling with that.) So . . . yeah . . . whatever. My brain is devoid of inspiration. If any of you are doing better than I am (probably all of you are), please
Continue readingA small Sunday morning round-up…. The Navy: doing the right thing and doing it right. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Not. (It’s worth remembering that, by the time the Soviet Union collapsed, being a doctor there was a women-only job, with about as much cachet
Continue readingSorry about the silence, but this has been a very domestic day. The greatest amount of time has been given over to shopping for and preparing to cook chicken soup and matzoh balls. Although I’m usually a truly terrible cook, my chicken soup with matzoh balls could easily win a
Continue reading“Monday morning mish mash” would have been more alliterative, but we do what we can. How corrupt is Lois Lerner and the swamp-like federal system from which she emerged? This corrupt. How crazy has the gender obsession at America’s institutions of higher education gotten? This crazy. How horrible was the
Continue readingI’ve been cleaning out my email box, a process that always involves my apologizing to lots of people for appearing to have ignored their emails to me. I haven’t ignored them, which implies a deliberate effort to pretend they’re not there. Instead, I have done what I so often do:
Continue readingFirst, I’m gonna hit you with the visuals. Isn’t this a great Halloween poster, courtesy of Chris Muir? Rep. Renee Ellmers put Sebelius on the hot seat. Watch Sebelius twist and squirm like a worm on a hook as she avoids saying that people who don’t buy health insurance are
Continue readingI woke up this morning very confused. My clock told me that it was 7:00 a.m., but it was awfully light outside. When I went upstairs, it was even more peculiar to discover that my daughter was awake and getting reading for her soccer game . . . which was
