Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You can read my favorite opinion/news story of the day, while I get down to work I really don’t want to do. After you read the story, here’s the interview that’s referenced in the story, with Tim Tebow showing remarkable composure as the media giggles nervously in the face of
Continue readingSorry for not posting today, but I just haven’t felt like it. I feel that, today, my contribution to my blog should be about Ryan and Viola, rather than about politics. That doesn’t mean, though, that you should be shut out, so please consider this an Open Thread.
Continue readingI keep compulsively flipping between Drudge, which is updating about every ten minutes with numbers, and Hot Air, which is giving trends. The numbers are great, the trends are disturbing. The tension between the two is killing me. I can’t even imagine how Brown feels (and I don’t care how
Continue readingJust haven’t had a chance to blog this morning or even to process the day’s stories. Here’s an open thread for all of you, since I assume you are much more on the ball than I am.
Continue readingI will be blogging this afternoon, but my morning has been taken up with family stuff, including the exciting one of reinstating TiVo in our lives. We had TiVo for many years, but when we got an HD TV, we tried switching to the Comcast DVR, because it was cheaper
Continue readingI got an emergency research project, and slipped in a quick workout, so blogging hasn’t happened yet. Here’s an open thread and a little Dusty Springfield for good measure. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XQon5NsYVw[/youtube]
Continue readingWhen the family is around, I get nothing done. I haven’t even read the news today. The earth could have reversed its rotation and I wouldn’t have known. I am never left alone. My presence is essential to all activities, whether it’s sitting, standing, or walking. If I hear my
Continue readingIntense family time, not to mention the fact that my brain is obsessed with a post (article?) I’m working on regarding San Francisco. I therefore seem to be temporarily without much to say. I do, however, have a joke in honor of Sen. Ben Nelson (one I’ve told before under
Continue readingYou know how, every holiday season, there’s that one weekend that is the busiest weekend of the whole year? That’s my weekend. We attended a show last night in the City, my son has a concert today in the City, we have a business dinner tonight on the Peninsula, tomorrow
Continue readingI’ve been reading the news assiduously today, but just don’t feel as if I have a coherent message or analysis in my own brain that’s worth passing on. I know it’s late in the day for some of you, but consider this an open thread. Meanwhile, a little Christmas music
Continue reading[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU[/youtube] I’m going to be in travel mode all day today, as we head off to spend Thanksgiving with the in-laws. (And one of the first things for which I give thanks every year is just how much I like my in-laws. Imagine how grim the annual holiday would be
Continue readingThis has definitely not been a bad day. It’s ranged from irritating, to neutral, to quite good — but none of it has included time at the computer. I’m now heading off for the post-school carpool circuit, after which I treat myself to the pleasure of a neighborhood mom’s night
Continue readingI find irritating people who comment on ones stress level and then either (a) add to it or (b) do nothing to alleviate it. My morning is taken over by matters domestic, and blogging will resume in the afternoon.
Continue readingI’ve been on the go since 6 a.m. and am only now sitting down at the computer — where I have 6 minutes until my next “on the go moment.” I’ll be back here as of 10:30 my time and I finally figured out what I want to write about.
Continue readingSpoke with a federal prosecutor the other day. She was honorably very circumspect, but she couldn’t stop herself from saying that a KSM trial in New York’s federal court system would be a “nightmare.” I don’t know her political viewpoints, so I can only believe that she’ talking about the
