Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I didn’t blog about the Mexican elections, preferring to wait and see what happened. I’m happy that I didn’t get my knickers in a twist, and I’m pleased that the Mexican voters, having looked into socialism’s abyss, opted for the Conservative candidate: Mexico’s conservative presidential candidate Felipe Calderon declared victory

Continue readingDQ here. I just read a brochure from XM radio that demonstrates the liberal bias-blindspot. Each XM station gets a little (always positive) write-up in the brochure. They are advertising their product, after all. To serve their diverse audience, XM includes a variety of talk stations, including AmericaRight and AirAmerica. Here

Continue readingI just got a new computer, and I really want to take some time to set it up. My son has other ideas: “Mommy, I want you to play with me. You’re turning into a boring old lady.” How did he know? FacebookTweet
Continue readingWe spent another fruitless couple of hours at our local humane society. This is not the type of humane society that euthanizes dogs, so it doesn’t have any real impetus to get dogs out of the shelter. Instead, it’s goal is to find the perfect home for every dog. And
Continue readingThere’s an NPR story here about music being used as a therapy to aid chronic pain sufferers or the dying. Anecdotal reports are good, but there are no scientific, double-blind, replicable studies yet to back it up. I have my own concern about the practice. I like listening to music,
Continue readingI sort of just sat back and sniggered when the Presbyterian Church (USA), after first attacking Jews decided next to go after men. How else to explain the new doctrine the Church has put into effect: The divine Trinity – “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” – could also be known
Continue readingHow did England so rapidly plummet from the world’s top dog to a nation that has no pride, no sense of its own history (except to be abjectly embarrassed by that history), and no sense of self-preservation. The latter appears in matters large, as in its inability to confront its
Continue readingWe just got yet another reminder (as if we need one), about Government ineptitude at managing its own programs: Welfare recipients and their friends and relatives are defrauding taxpayers of $500 million a year through the county’s child care programs, a grand jury report concludes. The report released Thursday found
Continue readingIn yet another reminder that it’s all about the bureaucracy and not about the child, it turns out that California joins the lists of states lying and cheating to get federal funds (and what a good lesson that is to teach our children): California and some other states have inflated
Continue readingDon’t you hate people who say “I told you so”? I do, unless I’m the one saying it. This time, I’m saying it regarding the Israeli troops massed on the Gaza border. But let me back up a bit…. Last night, Mr. Bookworm, who reads only the NY Times, asked
Continue readingI know that many of you are like me in that you’re disgusted with the Republican’s profligacy, as well as with other careless, pandering form’s of government in which Republicans engage. Be assured, though, that “punishing” them at election time, both in 2006 and 2008, will be worse. Why? Because
Continue readingI spend a lot of time talking to people whose children attend public schools in my fairly affluent area. What always surprises me is the disconnect between the facts they recite and their ultimate conclusion about our school district. Their ultimate conclusion is that the school district is just wonderful.
