Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I must be very wicked, because it hasn’t been a peaceful few days, nor has this morning been peaceful. Sitting down, reading, thinking, and writing haven’t been a part of my agenda. (I’m being a little dishonest there, for literary purposes, of course, because I actually had some pleasant moments
Continue readingI took a road trip yesterday, so I missed the “moment” of the Sandusky verdict. Based on the testimony, it seemed like the jury nailed it. Someone emailed me an interesting question: Why did Sandusky’s attorney sound so darn happy after his client was found guilty on almost all counts?
Continue readingI assume that you all know by know that President Obama has issued an executive order granting amnesty to young illegal immigrants. It’s a clever move. Marco Rubio had already proposed something similar, so Obama can say that at least some smart Republicans are already on board with the idea.
Continue readingApologies for not writing more today, but I’m just a little tired. I seem to have used up my energy on running the household, and don’t seem to have anything left for blogging. I see no reason, though, why I won’t regroup tomorrow. I am assuming now that I’ll be
Continue readingAs is usually the case for me after a long weekend, my brain is a gray mush, and my paper inbox is piled high. Between the one and the other, it takes me a little bit to regroup for blogging. Until then — It’s Open Thread Time! Yay!
Continue readingMy Saturday was busy. My Sunday will be even busier. I can’t wait until Monday. Tuesday — and I’m boasting here — I meet MacG for lunch. I was talking to my kids about market forces and came up with this one: “The market is busy grappling with today’s problems,
Continue readingIt’s been another all family, all the time day. Here are three interesting links, and then it’s Open Thread time: What’s going on with the GSA and the Secret Service reflects a failure of leadership. Are people buying guns because they’re afraid? And Pelosi says we don’t need no stinking
Continue readingI’m sorry to offer another Open Thread, but I continue to be up to my whatsit in family obligations — and they trump even the joys of blogging. I should have most of this family work wrapped up by Thursday, at which point I can resume my regularly scheduled blogging
Continue readingI’d love to write today, but family demands trump those considerations. Please have fun with this Open Thread. I, meanwhile, will have fun being productive.
Continue readingI’m surrounded by young people who, as is the nature of young people, are in a hurry to grow up. They see being “grown up” as this Paradise where no one bosses you around, where you get to have as much candy as you can buy, where there’s no homework,
Continue readingWe hit the road early today, so this is my very first moment at a computer. Late in the day Happy Easter wishes to everyone!
Continue readingThere’s a lot of interesting stuff out there that I want to share with you. First, I have to add myself to the zillion or so conservative commentators who are all over the fact that Barack Obama, showing once again that he has no learning curve, made another Open Mic
Continue readingAfter a self-indulgent morning spent doing nothing, I’m catching up on family matters. I hope to write this afternoon but, until then, please enjoy this Open Thread.
Continue readingI spent the morning going through the 800 or so emails I’d allowed to pile up in my inbox. I deleted most of them, which were automatic emails from various lists to which I belong, but there were definitely gems hiding in that stack. Now I get the chance to
Continue readingFor the last two days, I haven’t been blogging much, but I’ve been collecting stuff to read and share with you. In no particular order, my collection: Are you an old fart? I certainly am, and proud of it. There are several expressions that cover the need to make a
