Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I'm intransigently hostile to a great deal of modern pop music, because I consider it ugly, crude, vulgar, violent and hypersexualized. (I feel like saying here, "But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?) I don't even like Radio Disney because, although it presents the slighter
Continue readingThose familiar with my writing know that, while I haven't touched upon it in a while, a particularly hate multiculturalism, which I believe is one of the great cancers eating away at Western culture. To me, it has nothing to do with respecting the cultures of others, and everything to
Continue readingI'm always sensitive to the way in which the MSM likes to use unflattering pictures of Republican policitians. In the interests of even-handedness, I thought it important to note, therefore, that Matt Drudge, as part of the link to a story about Nancy Pelosi's goal to be Speaker, has publicized
Continue readingThe popular image of the peacekeepers who travel to troubled regions is of a legion of selfless Mother Theresas, putting aside the comforts of their First World lives to aid those most in need. And that image may well be true for the greater number of them. Unfortunately, one of
Continue readingNine out of twelve jurors were all for giving Moussaoui leniency because he had a bad childhood which, as Mark Steyn points out, is the problem with putting war crimes in the hands of jurors (especially, I might add, jurors who probably spend way too much time watching Oprah). I
Continue readingNo original blogging today, but you can see what I've been thinking about here, at American Thinker. I wrote to Thomas Lifson, the editor there, about the high risk sex offenders who are being concentrated in Marin County because he often uses his wonderful site to highlight Bay Area issues.
Continue readingPatrick Kennedy is a truly sad little guy. He's obviously combating some serious personal demons. I believe he should resign because I don't think someone so dysfunctional can adequately represent his constituents. That's really the end of the whole Patrick Kennedy story. As Gypsy Rose Lee used to say when
Continue readingI got some really good comments on my earlier post about the Cleveland lawyers who went after the parents who successfully represented their son in a claim against the school district. I focused on the fact that, usually, the child's interest is indistinguishable from the parents' interest, making it appropriate
Continue readingI vividly remember the time when, to my daughter, I was the most beautiful woman in the world (as I still am to my son). But times change. Yesterday, as I was putting my daughter to bed, she told me this: "Mom, Cecily asked me if you were pretty. I
Continue readingMost people who navigate through our legal system, and who must educate themselves about our laws, opt to use a lawyer in the hope that the lawyer, through his skill and knowledge, will give them both a friend in Court and an advantage over their adversary. In other words, in
Continue readingAt Under the News, I learned, in one post, two things. One is amazing, one sad. The amazing thing is that the English language now boasts more than one billion available words, a number that defies my limited imagination. The sad thing is that the average American uses only 14,000.
Continue readingI genuinely enjoyed this photo from Reuters. For one thing, I have a strong suspicion that we can manage in a world without burritos. For another thing, I have an equally strong suspicion that legal immigrants can actually make burritos too. Indeed, going out on a limb, I bet that
Continue readingToday is a rushed day for me, so I thought I'd just jumble into one post the various things that piqued my interest this morning: Through an excellent tip at American Thinker, I got to read Lawrence Henry's article giving an interesting perspective on why six generals are essentially in
Continue readingMany, many years ago, I had a puppy who needed abdominal surgery. This was at about the same time that my father, a very stoic man, was dealing with cancer and the attendant abdominal surgery. What was fascinating was to see the psychologic dynamic play out — or, in the
