Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Those who know the corporeal me, as opposed to the cyber me, will tell you that I’m a fairly unassuming person. I’m not at all shy — indeed, I’m quite gregarious in my own social circles — but I’m not someone who will put myself forward. I don’t like going
Continue readingIf you need any further evidence that the MSM is not thinking about events in the Middle East, you need go no further then a little NPR news squiblet I heard this morning which, in less than 30 seconds, had 4 shopworn, thoughtless cliches. I can’t find the transcript (it
Continue readingI started a series of posts aimed at examining what the Left side of the blogosphere had to say about what I think is one of the biggest stories of our day: Israel’s major military initiative against Hezbollah. What I discovered, and why I’ve sort of dried up on checking
Continue readingMy posting was light yesterday, in part because I had a lot of work and childcare obligations, and in part because I’d sort of run myself out of energy working on a contribution to the American Thinker‘s series of articles about religious wars. For the American Thinker, I ended up
Continue readingEven the propaganda organs can only be taken so far before the reporters realize they’re being played for total fools. How else to explain the fact that the BBC has acknowledged that some of the bodies in Lebanon belong to terrorists, not “innocent” civilians: The British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) has
Continue readingDennis Prager, on this morning’s radio show, directed me to an LA Times Op-ED by Zev Chafets, a non-religious Jew. In it, Chafets explains, once again, why American Jews have to shake off their atavistic fear of American Christians: For millions of American evangelical voters, living right includes supporting Israel.
Continue readingOn Sunday, San Francisco saw a fairly large rally supporting Israel. It wasn’t large for a City of SF’s size, but it was large for a City as Left as SF is. To her credit, Dianne Feinstein attended and spoke at the rally. The San Francisco Chronicle’s reporting on the

Continue readingI have a ridiculously short work day today, and lots of work to do in that time. Since I’m not going to be blogging, I urge you to visit the Blogfriends in my sidebar. Not the Big Blogs — you know all about them — but the Blogfriends who consistently
Continue readingAmongst the billions of criticisms leveled at Israel is the one claiming that she’s taking out too many innocent civilians. DQ examined some of the problems with this claim here. David Horowitz examines another problem, which is that Lebanon is more complicit with Hezbollah than we currently wish to admit:
Continue readingAs a favor, I’m watching someone’s toddler. It’s 90 degrees, we have no air conditioning, my home is not childproof, and my own kids are intermittently “helping” with the toddler. All I have to say is shoot me now and put me out of my misery…. FacebookTweet
Continue readingIn fact, the cheese-eating surrender monkeys weren’t anywhere near the winners’ podium: Floyd Landis won the Tour de France on Sunday, keeping cycling’s most prestigious title in American hands for the eighth straight year. The 30-year-old Landis cruised to victory on the Champs-Elysees, a day after regaining the leader’s yellow
Continue readingMark Steyn on the vile Islamist whirlwind the European and American dilettantes must now reap after having cultivated the PLO and its ilk so assiduously: In Causeries du Lundi, Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve recalls a Parisian dramatist watching the revolutionary mob rampaging through the street below and beaming: “See my pageant passing!”
Continue readingNot a day goes by that we don’t hear a drumbeat of stories about the “civilians” being killed in Lebanon and the growing “civilian” crisis there. But what is a civilian? If Israel bombs the home of a civil Hezbollah leader and kills the leader, his wife and his four
Continue readingMr. Bookworm rented a movie called Tigerland the other day, about men being trained to go off to the Vietnam War. I found it unwatchable, in large part because every other word was a filthy obscenity. There was almost no substance to the dialogue, just foul language. Thinking back, this
