Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I fulminated about that damned scarf Faye Turney was wearing during her time in Iran (although, interestingly, feminist groups such as NOW seemed unperturbed, just as they seem unperturbed by Pelosi’s Hermes shenanigans during her disgraceful trip to Syria). I could have, but didn’t, comment on the fact that all
Continue readingStarting in the early 1990s, on the last Friday of every month, bicyclists in San Francisco take to the road in the evening to flex their muscles — and to prove to cars that massed bicycles can create gridlock. (I always liken it to the fact that enough mosquitoes can
Continue readingHere’s the story: Neville Chamberlain, on a visit to German, said on Wednesday Adolph Hitler was ready to hold peace talks with the Jews. Okay, I lied. That’s not the story. This is the story, with the Jews instantly and credibly (given actual events, not propaganda) exposing the lying liars
Continue readingBack in December, the SF Chronicle revealed that San Francisco arrested blacks faster than did other major cities in California. I considered the ideas the police advanced and concluded, based on my own lifelong knowledge of the City, that the police were probably correct: San Francisco is a liberal white
Continue readingI like Jonah Goldberg’s take on ABC’s deafening silence in the face of Rosie’s rantings: Granted, The View isn’t 60 Minutes, so why should we care that much if the girl talk gets a little silly? After all, Walters has spent much of her career muddying the distinction between entertainment
Continue readingMy bikini days are long gone (two children took care of that), but if I were still to wear bikinis, this would be the year. Obscene is out, retro flirty is in, at least according to the fashion news from London. This shows there is a happy medium. I don’t
Continue readingTell me I’m beautiful, and I’ll guffaw (although I’ll concede “nice looking”). Tell me I’m a good writer and thinker, and I’m putty in your hands. Steve, at Out of the Binjo Ditch did me just that honor when he tagged me as one of the five bloggers who make
Continue readingDennis Prager today took on the ugly liberal habit of “outing” gay conservatives to punish them for their so-called hypocrisy. It’s an unusually long article (for Dennis Prager), but I was particular taken by the section focusing on the ugliness and mindlessness of identity politics, something I have long decried,
Continue readingFjordman, who is not afraid to “out” jihadist violence in Europe has a long, long post at Gates of Vienna about the violent crime wave in Europe that has its root, not in socio-economic factors, but in jihad. The following paragraphs are just the beginning: Although the European Union warns
Continue readingHave you noticed that, of late, whenever something anomalous occurs, it’s blamed on climate change? This has slowly been seeping into my subconscious, and suddenly burst to the forefront of my mind when I saw today’s SF Chronicle, with a story about shorebird die-offs. Not to speak disrespectfully of these
Continue readingAfter I did yesterday’s post about the Israeli media’s attack on Yoni Netanyahu, I kept thinking about the Leftist assaults on iconic American figures. The approaches that most immediately spring to mind are the almost obsessives reports about Washington’s and Jefferson’s role as slave holders. There are a lot of
Continue readingI printed here the “I am John Doe” manifesto that Michelle Malkin authored. To make sure the other side isn’t left out, Bad Example has obliged them by creating the hilariously funny “I am Huff Po” manifesto, so that the Huffington Post crowd has something to stand for. Read it
Continue readingI write here often about what I perceive to be Leftist bias in the American media. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the same Leftist bias permeates the Israeli media as well. Nevertheless, I found it deeply saddening to know that, for the past 20 years, this bias has
Continue readingChildhood is a modern construct. Before the Victorian era, children were perceived as mini-adults, albeit with a higher mortality rate. Since the early Victorian era, however, all Western nations have recognized and cultivated the special bond between a parent and a child and, more importantly for purposes of this post,
