Election Day Open Thread
Have at it, my friends. I will say that, in Marin, I saw three cars in a single parking lot that had Romney/Ryan bumper stickers.

Tuesday morning flotsam and jetsam Open Thread
My brain hasn’t yet synthesized all the fascinating data out there, including the wrenching stories of Sandy’s devastation. For the time being, I’ll just pass interesting links on to you. Please feel free to do the same. *** The former Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet has written a
Continue readingMid-day Friday Open Thread
I’m still working on household accounting and a business project, so blogging will have to wait. You’re on your own for a little while, guys. I can suggest a few topics, though: the administration’s/CIA’s unconscionable decision to leave Americans to die in Benghazi; the amazing Romney polling numbers; and the
Continue readingMy mind is a void, so you guys get an Open Thread
Today, you could wade through my deepest thoughts without getting your ankles wet. I’ve been doing household accounting, working on my own business, and taking care of my mother, and my brain is stuck in checklist mode, with no room for creative thought. I’m sure some glimmerings of intelligence will
Continue readingPost Debate Open Thread
I haven’t had a chance yet to watch the debate. I’d love to hear your opinions.
Continue readingAre matters coming to a head this October?
I’ve got an amazing array of links, all of which indicate that, with three weeks before the election, America and the Middle East aren’t static. Instead, there are a lot of things that are suddenly coming to the boil in ways that make me pray very hard that Mitt Romney
Continue readingMonday quick links
Wrapping up a project that’s already taken me too long, so I’ve promised myself no blogging until it’s done. Meanwhile, here are some quick links: Explaining the Obama fundraising scandal. Cities can’t support themselves? Never mind. Force suburban homeowners to pay for them. It’s all good with the Obama administration.
Continue readingWho needs to watch the debate when even the liberals say Romney won?
I was aboard ship (more on that later) and then on the phone boasting about having been aboard ship, so I missed the debate. I’m sure I’ll watch bits and pieces of it on the internet at some later date but, frankly, why bother? The broad consensus is that Romney
Continue readingMonday morning quick links
I spent a very family-centric weekend, which inhibited both weekend blogging and weekend information gathering. So today, I’m playing catch-up. Nevertheless, I do have a few interesting things to highlight. Dennis Prager is one of my favorite political commentators. His approach to morality and politics can be summed up in
Continue readingI’m too congested to be chatty today — but I do have a question for you.
Sorry that my blogging has been slow today. I’ve got a cold and while I’m not very sick (and I’m very grateful for that fact), I don’t feel very well either. Someone also seems to have stuffed my head with cotton wool, so my brains are slightly suffocated. I’m optimistic
Continue readingThursday mixed bag
I’ve been busy today hunting down paying work, which accounts for my low blog production today. Here are a few things for you, though. On the subject of the oxymoronic “liberal tolerance,” I’ve got a three-fer for you: The Anchoress talks about Democrats’ fear that innocuous gifts might contaminate them.
Continue readingMatched sets, two VDH columns, a second look at Enron, and a little Israel — and an Open Thread
National Review Online had three articles this morning that I thought worth passing on. The first two form a matched set, although I suspect it was inadvertent that NRO published them on the same day. We begin with Noemie Emery’s article explaining why Franklin Roosevelt was a singular phenomenon: Put
Continue readingSunday morning mish-mash
Legal Insurrection argues compellingly that, even though Journolist was exposed and, presumably, disbanded, the MSM is stilling using the same playbook. Well, maybe not quite. Very peculiarly (and practically minutes before the DNC in political time), the New York Times is running an article about Valerie Jarrett, identifying her as
Continue readingA little good cheer for your Monday — and an Open Thread
I’ve been moping around this morning, but I cheered up a lot when I saw this one. I’m going off to exercise now, which should elevate my mood, but it precludes blogging. Consider this a Monday Morning Open Thread.
Continue readingWednesday morning this and that
I’m heading out for a while, but I do have some articles lined up that I think you might enjoy: The Todd Akin news is a total downer, since he refused to withdraw when it was easy to do so. Keep in mind that this is not about pro-Choice or
