Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As part of a much longer article about the Democrat’s foolish faith in the NIE leak, J. Peter Mulhern, writing at American Thinker, offers this nicely phrased analysis about the willing fighters and the potential victims in our society: When you go to war your enemy will enlist people to
Continue readingNow that the uproar over Chavez’s speech has ended, those who were at first a little embarrassed to see someone say at the UN what they’ve been saying everywhere else, have regrouped, and started agreeing with and echoing Chavez. The latest hit piece I read struck me as amusing, because,
Continue readingHere’s the incredible, thoughtful response from Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s President, to a loaded question from AP operative Jennifer Loven, who is married to a Democratic macher and who wouldn’t know an unbiased story if it bit her in the face: QUESTION: Thank you, sir. Even after hearing that one of

Continue readingI get a weekly email that lists shows in the Bay Area. It’s not a comprehensive list. If I had to analogize, I’d say it’s akin to a list of off-Broadway productions in New York. I found amusing these two shows: World Premiere of The War at Home at NCTC
Continue readingIn yesterday’s Best of the Web, there is a photoshopped picture of Osama Bin Laden. It took me a minute to recognize that it was pasted over an August picture of Fidel Castro that the Cuban government released to prove that he’s still alive. Am I only the who finds
Continue readingYou have to read Dennis Prager’s whole article about the illogic driving the current round of Pope Benedict bashing. It’s wonderful. To whet your appetite, I’ll tease you with these two paragraphs: Another example is Karen Armstrong, the widely read ex-nun scholar of religion. She has written of Pius XII
Continue readingI admire restraint, up to a point. When you reach that point, though, if you continue with restraint, you begin to look weak, foolish and doubtful about your own position. I was therefore delighted to see that the Bush Administration, through Condi Rice, is taking on Clinton’s hysterical attack last
Continue readingDrudge this morning greeted me with the announcement that George Clooney has decided not to run. I think that’s a smart choice. I’ve amused myself in the past by running through a mental list of Hollywood types who have switched from movies to political office. Unless I’m missing something, it’s

Continue readingI bought a new car the other day, a Buick Lucerne. My LeSabre has served me well for 150,000 miles so I looked forward to my new Buick. It is an excellent car, but one thing bothers me. The LeSabre has the old Buick logo of three shields — one
Continue readingLatest word is that over 100 Iraqis per day are dying violent deaths in Iraq. To my untrained eye, Iraqis appear to be killing Iraqis at an increasing rate and American troops are trying and failing to keep the peace. Somehow, America will be blamed. And, in truth, America
