Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When I first read the following story at Rhymes with Right, I thought it was a satire. Even though Greg quoted extensively from the news report, I still thought Scrappleface was somehow involved. But no, this is the real news: Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of
Continue readingEverybody enjoys a good laugh when they read some version of what Robert Godwin calls “the perennially clueless New York Times, which often publishes variations on the theme of “Crime Down Despite Increase in Prison Population.” That is, we enjoy the fact that the NYTs, and other liberal publications, seem
Continue readingThese are two of today’s headlines, one about Israel, a Jewish country; and one about Yemen, a Muslim country. I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions. First, from Israel: The Israel government has voted to appoint an Arab Muslim to the cabinet – for the first time in the
Continue readingI like Mitt Romney. I like his ability to get things done and his presence. I agree with many, if not most of his viewpoints. I hope that his Mormonism does not get in the way of people evaluating the man and his policies. After all, he’s not inviting us
Continue readingThe only problem with a Mark Steyn column is choosing which of the gemlike paragraphs to quote. It’s so tempting, paragraph after paragraph to say “Oh, I should include this in my blog. No, no, wait! This one too.” And on and on until I’ve highlighted each of them, ready
Continue readingAre you confused about the situation in the Middle East? Do you lie awake wondering where the boundaries should be drawn to create a real home for the Palestinians? Worry now more. Ocean Guy has the answer, and it’s one that I think will surprise you. Heck, it even surprised
Continue readingI’ve often commented on the fact that the Left has an attitude of “nobody hits my brother except me” when it comes to blacks, homosexuals and the handicapped. You’ve seen this in the savagely racist attacks on Condi (Aunt Jemima, anyone?) or Clarence Thomas (out-of-control black man sexuality), or in

At Irish Pennants, Jack Kelly details how, in a single paragraph, Nicholas Lemann, the Dean of Columbia Universities Graduate School of Journalism, makes five major factual errors. Kelly’s gracious enough not

If you have about 15 minutes, see what you think: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1qee-bTZI] My take on the video

The reports painted the battle as a fiery bloodbath, with Iraqi Troops just standing
Continue readingI had the pleasure yesterday of meeting two gentlemen, one who was one of the first Marines on Iwo Jima, and the other of whom was a soldier who was part of the Normandy landing and who, after a criss-cross journey through Europe, landed in the Arden on January 1,
Continue readingSan Francisco, in an effort to increase its revenues, raised its parking meter fees to an average of $3.00 per hour. City officials expected a cash cascade. What happened instead, was that people obligated to pay the fees figured out that they’d do better in private parking garages. By doing
Continue readingIt’s with a great deal of embarrassment that I admit that I’m a huge fan of Lois and Clark : the New Adventures of Superman, something I discovered a decade ago during 3 a.m. reruns when I was up with my newborn. In these shows, the all-too-wonderful Superman understands and
