I will be back!
This is an Open Thread. I’ve been on the go since yesterday morning, and things won’t slow down for another couple of hours. Then, I blog! Until then, please feel free to let us know what you’re thinking.

A little of this and a little of that — and, of course, an Open Thread
Family life has been busy of late. That means when I wasn’t roused to blogging about the Second Amendment, I didn’t blog much at all these past few days. My lapses, though, haven’t stopped interesting things from appearing, some to do with Newtown, and some involving other stuff altogether. In

I’ve spent today being very productive in a non-blogging way, but there are still a few things I’d like to share with you. If you’re feeling in a giving mood, the National Review needs help in its fight against the lawsuit Michael Mann (yes, climate change Michael Mann) filed against

I don’t have the time (or, frankly, the inclination) to do full posts on each of these links, but they are all worthy contenders for your attention: John Steele Gordon compares Obama’s contempt for Congress with LBJ’s respect for that institution and willingness to collaborate with it to achieve his
Continue readingMorsi flees palace Open Thread
I went out to run one errand and came back to discover that Egyptian President Morsi had fled his palace after protesters breached police barricades. I have no idea whether this means Morsi’s brief sharia reign is over, or whether he’ll be be, redoubling the oppression. What do you think?

This is my mind right now: Yeah, that’s right. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I’m getting vertigo looking into the blank, black hole of my own thoughts.
Continue readingSunday morning Open Thread — plus a mish mash of news and ideas
Nothing in this morning’s news, or in my own life for that matter, is moving me sufficiently to justify a full post on a single subject or idea. I did find some interesting things online, though, that I’d like to share with you. Also, I always appreciate it when you

Progressives and narcissists share an unpleasant trait: If you make a mistake, it proves that you and your ideas are inferior; if they make a mistake, it’s just a mistake. Your mistake is irremediable, because it’s intrinsic to who you are; their mistake is just one of those things, and

There’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing someone slice and dice Paul Krugman’s latest idiocies. Randall Hoven does a magnificent job. The only sad thing about it is that he’s preaching to the choir. The ones who really should read his article — namely, the ones who think Krugman is
Continue readingLong drive open thread
After a lovely long weekend with family, we’re getting in the car today and heading home. If things go well, the drive should take about seven hours. If we get stuck in holiday traffic (as happened when we drove down), we’re looking at nine hours on the road. I might
Continue readingPost-Thanksgiving stupor Open Thread
I’ve been spending a delightful Thanksgiving with my in-laws. They have an almost ridiculously comfortable home and they provided a postcard perfect Thanksgiving dinner last night. Today, I’m in the usual post-Thanksgiving coma, and am finding it almost impossible to martial my thoughts or to deal with the difficulties of

I hate cooking. That’s not hyperbole. Restaurants are a constant temptation, but I resist because, during my young lawyer days, I spent way too much of my money on restaurants. With college and old age to plan for, I can’t eat out whenever I like — which is every night.

I’ve got a few things to do this morning, but I’ll be back blogging by about noon Pacific Time. Until then, feel free to opine. I’ll give you a head start, with today’s Drudge headlines (click thumbnail to enlarge):

Busy with family matters. Back as soon as possible.

Keep it civil, but come here to whine, opine, analyze, gloat (if you do it nicely), blame, predict, etc. I might take some time away from blogging today. I think I need to touch bases with the things that haven’t changed (household chores, mostly) to keep my perspective about the
