Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a persnickity lady who likes my comforts — a fact that only serves to increase my admiration for those American troops dealing with the dangers and discomforts in Iraq. I know from my father, who fought in North Africa during WWII, how particularly nasty desert
Continue readingI am, apparently, worthy of voting. I bet you, my regular readers, are too. But if you’re in doubt, take this test: I have to admit to having slipped up on one question, but my excuse is that I’m not a very visual person, and photos are involved. It is
Continue readingThis is what the Second Amendment says: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. This is what the District of Columbia did: It passed a law in 1976 holding that
Continue readingSorry for the low volume of original posts, but I’m surprisingly busy. I say “surprisingly” because spring is usually a slow time of year for me when it comes to paying work. Add to that ludicrous amounts of Mom as chauffeur, chaperon and volunteer, and you’re looking at someone who
Continue readingHere’s Lorie Byrd, who also blogs at Wizbang, on the disconnect between liberal myths in the media and the reality: In liberal fantasyland, George Bush is not only the “biggest terrorist in the world,” as Cindy Sheehan proclaims, but Bush and his administration are the only people who said Saddam
Continue readingBest summation I’ve seen (and read the rest of the article to which I’ve linked for the facts backing up this conclusion): This is a case that never should have been brought, originating in the scandal that never was, in search of a crime — violation of the Intelligence Identities
Continue readingAs a public service announcement to those of my United States readers who, for your entire lifetimes, have been springing forward in April, don’t forget that this year, we’re springing forward in March. This weekend, March 11, is the new spring daylight savings time change day. Hmmm…. FacebookTweet
Continue readingThe anticipation is over and the votes are in for the weekly Watcher’s Council survey of news and analysis you can use! This week, the first and second place winners for council authored articles are (1) Joshuapundit’s Between Iraq and a Hard Place — Why We Went, How It Got
Continue readingI know it’s unkind of me, but ever since I saw that video of John Edwards preening to improve his pretty-boy self, I think of him as a sort of Barbie doll — or, maybe, I should say a Ken doll. That’s why I found it exquisitely funny that this
Continue readingDaniel Henninger has a really brilliant article about the fact that the focus of the Presidential primaries, on both sides of the political divide, is entirely wrong, with form (and the hunt for public humiliation) dominating when substance should matter: The world beyond America’s borders isn’t dormant; it is a
Continue readingAs you know, the U.S. Mint is trying to sell the public on a new series of one dollar coins. It makes sense. Although they’re more expensive to make than paper bills, they have greater longevity. However, having held these coins in my hand, I can tell you that they
Continue readingOne of the things that T.S. raised in my original Scooter post was that Fitzgerald said that it was wrong to disclose Plame’s identity. Now, as a lawyer, I can tell you that the fact that Fitzgerald said something doesn’t make it so. In fact, nothing a lawyer says is
Continue readingBetween kids at home in the first part of the week, and all of us gone in the second part of the week, President’s Week slipped by me entirely, which is why I forget to tell you about the Watcher’s Council articles that won that week (February 23). You’ll want
Continue readingThis kind of writing is why I’m not going to turn my back entirely on Ann Coulter, even when she makes inept (and, yes, offensive) jokes, not so much about John Edwards and gays (although they were caught in her misfire), but about a type of political correctness that has
Continue readingSome things make one yearn for good, old-fashioned medieval death by torture: A sex offender was found guilty Wednesday of kidnapping and raping a 9-year-old girl and burying her alive in a case that led to a crackdown around the country on people convicted of sex crimes. Jurors deliberated about
