Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ann Coulter can be too mean sometimes, and I think she undermines her points when she is. Sometimes, though, she’s right on the money, as she is in this article, some of which I quote here: The “bipartisan” Iraq panel has recommended that Iran and Syria can help stabilize Iraq.
Continue readingSomething weird’s going on regarding a story that, as first reported, had secret meetings between Hamas and the Democrats. The weirdness is both about the reporting and about the implications of the Democratic conduct. Here’s what I know. The first I heard of the story was at LGF: Are officials
Continue readingI don’t think Charles Johnson, at LGF, is Jewish, but that fact doesn’t prevent him from being Israel’s staunch supporter. I think he is, not so much because he’s in love with Israel (and no one asks him to be), but because he recognizes that (a) Israel is the only
Continue readingI read two diametrically opposing views about the likelihood that Hillary will run successfully in 2008. Dick Morris, who has spent his life in politics on both sides of the spin isle, thinks she can win, just because she’s a woman: She definitely can win…and probably will. She is uniquely
Continue readingI think for many of us, England is one of the old world countries inextricably entwined with images of Christmas. When I think of England, I think of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol; of the Christmas tree, which the Germanic British royals elevated from a quaint German custom into a
Continue readingIsrael has usually, although not always, been adept in the battlefield. She’s been a total failure in the media. However, for the first time, I’m seeing signs that she’s fighting back: Israel’s military, which has been accused of abuses in its war against Hezbollah this summer, has declassified photographs, video
Continue readingI have a very sick fantasy. I dream that, although I have no discernible symptoms, I’m nevertheless diagnosed with a very serious disease that has only one known treatment: three days of complete bed rest, including meals in bed. Follow that regimen and you’re cured. Is that a sick dream
Continue readingI can’t remember where I read it — because I wasn’t near my computer and couldn’t bookmark it — but I definitely read somewhere that Chavez was targeting teachers, etc., and that they were part of the political block trying to oust him (unsuccessfully, as it turned out) in the
Continue readingThe Washington Post has picked up and expanded upon the story about Bonnie Bleskachek, the Minneapolis fire chief recently fired for all sorts of sexual and discriminatory shenanigans. It makes for fascinating reading if you don’t mind that your local fire house sounds like a lesbian Peyton Place with a
Continue readingSince I questioned Gwynneth Paltrow’s wisdom in deriding Americans, I hasten to point out now that she denies ever having done so: Gwyneth Paltrow is “deeply upset” over stories claiming she made anti-American remarks, and tells PEOPLE exclusively that she never said anything against her native country. “First of all
Continue readingI can’t decide if the woman in this story is almost too dumb to live, or if she’s an exceptionally good citizen, doing the taking some of the burden off the California Highway Patrol: Mary McGill stopped by the California Highway Patrol office in Corte Madera on Wednesday to pick

The video pretty much says it all. Hat tip: Flopping Aces del.icio.us | digg it FacebookTweet
Continue readingThis August story sounds too bizarre to be correct but, apparently, it is. It tells how two U.S. border control guards chased an illegal alien who was caught in the act of smuggling drugs into the US. One of the guards was wounded in a violent physical confrontation with the
Continue readingI wrote “I am Woman, hear me whine” to riff off of a story about law firms’ difficulty in retaining black lawyers. I noted the role affirmative action has to play, but also suggested, based on my 20 years out of date experience at a big law firm, that women
