Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Part of my mother’s behavior as a drama queen is to try to take on the borrowed glory of other people’s suffering. When my sister has a cold, my mother calls me to say “You don’t know how worried I am. What if it turns into pneumonia? What if she
Continue readingUnusually for me, I saw a first-run movie tonight. It was, as you’ve already realized, American Sniper. Also unusually, the Century Cinema, which is Marin’s premiere movie theater, with a big screen and a George Lucas-installed sound system, had an almost completely packed house on the second weekend of a
Continue readingI didn’t watch the SOTU. Aside from finding Obama a boring, inelegant speaker, I was helping a client with trial prep. Today, the trial got continued for a few months so, before settling in for a nice 12 hour sleep (I wish!), I can blog — and share with you,
Continue readingI haven’t yet seen the movie American Sniper, but I have read Chris Kyle’s autobiography, on which it is based. I therefore believe that I am qualified to write on the topic. Although, come to think of it, I’m not really going to write about American Sniper at all. Instead,

Continue readingSomeone gave us tickets to see a play called Black Watch, about the famed Scottish regiment in the British Army. The play premiered in 2006 in Edinburgh, at the height of anti-War fervor. It tells the story of a regiment that goes back 300 years, that bore the brunt of
Continue readingIt’s been more than a month since military hero Chris Kyle died, and President Obama has yet to say a word about Kyle and his service to our country. It’s been two days since Venezuelan Hugo Chavez died, and the President has already made arrangements to send a three-man delegation

Continue readingIf ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise — especially when the subject is Islam. Today is the day that Obama (at extraordinary cost) flew all over the country to hype as Armageddon. I got out of bed this morning, looked up, and saw the sky right where it
Continue readingKeep in mind as you look at this poster that Obama is the military’s Commander in Chief. This means that, in theory, although clearly not in fact, Chris Kyle was one of Obama’s own: Incidentally, I don’t reprint this poster to denigrate Houston’s tragedy (which was drug addiction), but merely
Continue readingHaving read Chris Kyle’s American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, I keep forgetting that I never actually met the man. The book was so vivid, not just about his war-time experiences, but also when it came to his life and personality, that my
Continue readingA friend forwarded me this Facebook page: Perhaps, though, we should be grateful. You just know that Obama would have wanted to say something along the lines of Ron Paul’s execrable statement about living and dying by the sword. (And we know how stupid that is in this context.) Given
Continue readingBack in June, I reviewed Chris Kyle’s American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History. I gave the book a thumbs up — it was an enjoyable, informative read about life on the front lines from a tough guy who became a SEAL, and then
Continue readingWithin the last two weeks, I’ve read two Navy SEAL books: Marcus Luttrell’s Service: A Navy SEAL at War and Chris Kyle’s American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History. The books have a lot of similarities, separate from the fact that both are books
