Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My parents, despite fairly awful childhoods (the Depression, abandonment, Nazis, internment, major battles) did pretty darn well. They lived normal lives, raised children, made a lovely home, etc. Lots of people do that, which may be why I’m confused about why we in America make so many excuses for disadvantaged
Continue readingIf you’ve been thinking that official agencies and mainstream media outlets have been remarkably coy about reporting Muslim violence, you’re not alone. The examples are easy to find: it took a month before anyone bothered to make the anti-Semitic connection with Ilan Halimi’s murder; the Oklahoma University bombing was presented
Continue readingI just read a fascinating article about the anti-War march in San Francisco — fascinating, not for what it says, but for what it doesn’t say. The lede is “Anti-war protests in S.F., other cities draw thousands.” The first paragraphs again exude awe about the sheer numbers: On the third
Continue readingI had a wonderful law school flashback when I visited Michelle Malkin’s blog just now. She has a picture of an anti-War protestor. Can you spot what’s wrong with this picture? As Malkin rightly points out, this protestor got just a little confused with the Mercedes symbol: When I was
Continue readingIt would seem to me that, if you’re colluding with bad guys, you’d prefer that this collusion be low key — and the bad guys would prefer it to, so that it wouldn’t look as if you’re in their camp for PR purposes. Somehow this basic fact about allegiances and
Continue readingLaer has a rather horrifying exposé about a hot book series called Gossip Girls. You should read his post and, if you have young girls in your house, you might want to keep a weather eye on their bookshelf, backpack and library bag. This stuff is trashy by any standards,

Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will
Continue readingIt was inevitable, I guess, that with the War’s third anniversary upon us, angry people would be marching like crazy (don’t these people have lives?). If you go to Drudge, you see a picture of what looks like just masses of people: That looks pretty serious and, as an aside,

(What is it lately with American public figures going abroad to denigrate America?

Continue readingWelcome! You found me. Blogger has been so difficult for me lately that I decided to switch to a new host. (I’m apparently not alone with having Blogger problems.) So, here I am, starting all over again, and trying to figure out how to get the word out. If you’ve
Continue readingIf you’re curious about what I’ve written before, you can find eighteen months worth of archive material at Bookworm Room, which is my old Blogger site. I was having so many troubles with Blogger, I decided to switch over, so here I am.
