Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Oh, my gosh! Did I find interesting stuff this morning. I haven’t swirled it around in my brain enough to be able to offer intelligent commentary, but I did want to share with you what I read. As always, in no particular order: The NRA has hired some brilliant news
Continue readingIs March over already? No!!! Where did the time go? The Watcher’s Council, at least, put the time to good use, writing and reading over scads of good stuff. Herewith the final results for the last Council vote of March 2013. By the way, if you haven’t ever checked out
Continue readingIn this, the Passover/Easter version of the Watcher’s Council, we have some mighty fine reading, all designed to tell the kinds of truth that set you free: Council Submissions The Noisy Room – American Bolsheviks – The Second Act The Independent Sentinel – Governor Jerry Brown Trippin’ on His Psychedelic
Continue readingBefore I publish the list of the cool stuff at the Watcher’s Council, a couple of announcements. Announcement No. 1 is that Debbie Hamilton of Right Truth has decided that there is more to life than blogging, and has departed to sample those greener, less geeky pastures. Because she left
Continue readingSuek posted this is an open thread, but I thought it was too good to keep hidden: Marines are taught: 1) Keep your priorities in order and 2) Know when to act without hesitation. A MARINE was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and
Continue readingObama is having a bad week when it comes to Joo . . . janitors. After his mispronunciation faux pas (which was probably the innocent act of a mental stumble bum, but which sounded appalling coming from Obama, who has proven hostile to Israel and the Jews), he’s now issued
Continue readingI’d be lying if I said I wasn’t flattered by this week’s results: Council Winners First place with 4 2/3 votes! Bookworm Room––What happens when government (state or federal) is pathologically hostile to business Second place *t* with 1 2/3 votes – Joshuapundit-Obama’s real Easter Message Second place *t* with

Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.” — Deuteronomy, 24:16. One of the things that always struck me as bizarre about old-fashioned Christian antisemitism
Continue readingI’m with Sadie, that there’s something deeply off-putting about Obama casually applying the ancient Passover story to the uprisings in the Middle East: Passover recalls the bondage and suffering of Jews in Egypt and the miracle of the Exodus, but U.S. President Barack Obama says its message is reflected in
Continue readingWe just had the pre-Passover edition of the Watcher’s Council, and it was good. These were all wise sons: Council Winners First place with 2 1/3 votes! The Noisy Room – Rumors of Beck’s Demise are Greatly Exaggerated Second place *t* with 1 2/3 votes – Joshuapundit – Cringing Into
Continue readingOut in the wide world, every day is hate and boycott Israel. Among the sane people, Wednesday, March 30 is buy Israeli Day, when we make an effort to purchase Israeli products. If nothing else, get some Passover matzoh or some Ahava skin care products. Trader Joe’s is also always
Continue readingAn antisemitic Jew I know, rather than seeing the Passover ceremony as the celebration of freedom (the world’s first and for a long time only successful slave revolt), and of justice and morality (the Ten Commandments), derides the whole ceremony as the unconscionable and immoral celebration of the genocide of
Continue readingIt’s always interesting to hear my husband, a militant atheist, and me, a respectful agnostic/atheist, talk about the Bible to the kids. Today, my husband tackled the story of the sacrifice of Isaac. He told the kids that the whole point of the story is to remind religious people that
Continue readingI want to recommend two interesting things to read as a prelude to my core post. The first read comes from a reliably good source: Rusty Shackleford. Over at The Jawa Report, he looks at the banality that exists side by side with the evil that is North Carolina’s recently
