Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,’ it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.’ ‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to

Here’s the story: Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone
Continue readingOne news outlet, picked up in today’s Drudge Report, excitedly reports that, since 2003, 100 people have died worldwide from bird flu. Just to get a little perspective, the world population stands at 6,504,897,740. Even I, a math nincompoop, can figure out that the death rate is infinitesimally small (which

Certainly, that’s what I hear in my community, an accusation I’m always quick to
Continue readingIt’s up to the schools to keep our kids safe, right? It’s also their responsibility to stop bad drug habits before they start, right? That’s why it’s absolutely incumbent for a well run school district to place a 6 year old in detention and take it very, very seriously, when
Continue readingMike Adams wrote a great column today declaring his independence to act precisely as his students do: rude, careless, and irresponsible, just because it feels good. The reductio ad absurdum of this selfishness, of course, is what’s going on in France, where the students are perfectly happy to see the
Continue readingI’m heading into another insanely busy day, so won’t post until later. However, I couldn’t wait to tell you about a disturbing book I’m reading called Female Chauvinist Pigs : Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture, by Ariel Levy. In it, Levy takes on the raunch culture that is

Continue readingSometimes, someone writes an article that manages to touch upon more than one issue near and dear to me. Catherine Seipp managed to do just that when she wrote about Walkout, a new HBO film. Walkout is about historic injustice, circa 1968: You’d need a heart of stone not to
Continue readingOne of my blogfriends, ExPreacherMan, has also abandoned Blogger for WordPress. His reason? We are fed up with Google’s leftist politics… for those who do not know — BlogSpot – Blogger is owned by Google, the entrepreneurial voice and supporter of the left. I’m not quite as strong a conservative
Continue readingShortly after my first child was born, I heard that the best house for raising a healthy child is one that is fairly well-organized, and slightly dirty. “I can do that,” I thought. I mean, that’s how my house has always been. I grew up in the immaculate house of
Continue readingToday, the SF Chron got around to acknowledging how pathetic the anti-War protests have been around the world. Indeed, the Chron mentioned this surprising little fact in both the lede and the first paragraph: Fewer Protest Iraq War’s 3rd Anniversary Protesters marking the third anniversary of the Iraq war made

Continue readingJennifer Loven is at it again. She’s the political writer for AP who always comes out with anti-Bush stories, and who always, somehow, manages to forget to disclose that her husband is a former Clinton employee and was working for John Kerry last I heard. I took her latest “news”
Continue readingMy 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
