Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Honestly, I meant to write today, but the day just vanished. The good thing is that, with my knee surgery having had an excellent outcome and my back spasm de-spasming, I was able to do martial arts today. My son told me, in all seriousness, “Mom, it’s a little scary
Continue readingOh, my gosh! Did I find interesting stuff this morning. I haven’t swirled it around in my brain enough to be able to offer intelligent commentary, but I did want to share with you what I read. As always, in no particular order: The NRA has hired some brilliant news
Continue readingI had this day nicely planned out, and part of the plan was to spend time posting here. Then my Mom had a dental emergency and, Poof!, no more plan. Would you mind an Open Thread instead?
Continue readingThis morning, I found a goldmine of interesting stuff at National Review Online. There was some other good stuff that bipped on my radar, so I’m sharing it here. King Hussein of Jordan was, from all reports, a decent man, not just by Arab King standards, but by any standards.
Continue readingSorry for the long silence, guys and gals, but I had some orthopedic outpatient surgery yesterday. Everything went wonderfully well, but I was completely out of commission yesterday and am still somewhat out of commission today. I anticipate writing original stuff later, but for now, I’ll leave you with this
Continue readingI have lots to share with you guys — but I can’t right now, because I am a body in motion. Every single member of my family has legitimate demands on my time today (except the dog, who makes no demands at all). If you see a figure whipping by
Continue readingIf ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise — especially when the subject is Islam. Today is the day that Obama (at extraordinary cost) flew all over the country to hype as Armageddon. I got out of bed this morning, looked up, and saw the sky right where it
Continue readingSorry for the long silence today. I hit the ground running a little over 8 hours ago, and this is the first time I’ve sat down since then. I’m a little tired, but I’m also quite pleased with what I accomplished. The days I hate are the ones that see
Continue readingIt’s my Mom’s birthday today, so I’m off the Internet for the next few hours. I’ll write when I get back.
Continue readingI got thrown a bit off my stride — literally — yesterday, when I learned that my knee is in worse shape than I thought. It’s definitely fixable, but it will take time. I’ll find out in a week or two if I need arthroscopic surgery. In the grand scheme
Continue readingI can’t make myself listen to Obama. He hectors and I don’t need that in my life. I’ll read the speech, and the multiple analyses of the speech, tomorrow. Until then, I’d love to hear what you have to say about it — or what you have to say about
Continue readingWilliam Kristol and Peter Wehner, even though using the polite language of statesmen, have delivered a scathing indictment against our absent commander in chief. Considering that Obama is indeed the CIC, court-martial for dereliction of duty doesn’t seem unreasonable. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll even get impeachment. I know that,
Continue readingI’m in mourning. As a San Francisco native, when I rouse myself to be interested in football, I’m a Niners fan. No fan happiness tonight. Do you have anything that’s giving you some happiness about now?
Continue readingWhew! I’m finally current on my email, a pleasant state of things that should last at least two days, or maybe four. I’m sufficiently self-aware to know that my chronic procrastination damages my life, not to mention my relationships. Despite that knowledge, though, I still procrastinate. It’s very frustrating to
Continue readingI’m back with more. Did you know that Afghanistan was declared a gun-free zone? Well, if you didn’t, you’re right. But this is a great satire anyway. Have you heard of a site called Patriotic Voices? (I do seem to be full of questions, don’t I?) It’s a forum for
