Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Hey, guys and gals! We had a lovely storm come through Marin Friday night, which was quite enjoyable. It was less enjoyable to wake up Saturday morning and discover that it had inflicted no small amount of damage on my property. I spent yesterday dealing with the storm’s fallout, which
Continue readingOne of the things that’s frustrating for conservatives is to see that stupidity is ascendant in our culture. And by stupidity I mean something very specific, which is that Leftists routinely use incoherence, ignorance and a complete lack of logic to challenge purely factual statements (or obviously humorous ones), and
Continue readingI started a long post a few days ago, because I thought I saw a common thread linking Ray Rice, women in combat, the Rotherham sex scandal, etc., but I just couldn’t control all that material. The short version of my theory is that women in the West have never
Continue readingSaturdays just slip away from me. Now you see ’em, now you don’t. Suddenly, it’s 1:30, and I’ve accomplished nothing more than making another batch of haroset, which I’m trying to eat in lieu of ice cream. There are things, though, that I’d like to share with you: The first
Continue readingThere are a lot of things I miss about being young. Today, I miss the ability to sleep even if the house if falling down around me. I can’t do that anymore. I somehow lost the sleeping knack when I had babies and I’ve never gotten it back. Sleep seems
Continue readingOh, my gosh! There is an embarrassment of riches out there this morning when it comes to thought-provoking, interesting, informative, or funny articles and videos. Here are my favorites, in no particular order: I pointed out here that terribly flawed, infantile, dangerous, and very non-scientific reasoning supported a study purporting
Continue readingWork and family call, but that doesn’t mean I’m not sneaking quick peeks at articles that I can then share with you. Is the global warming tipping point nearing? It will inevitably happen, but far too late to save the billions of dollars wasted, the lives lost in revolutions it
Continue readingFor a decade, those liberals who know that I think that anthropogenic global warming is a scam that was invented to make some people very rich (AlBore, is that you?), even while it transfers vast sums of wealth from the First World to the Third World, have called me some
Continue readingOne of the things that drives me bonkers-nutso about the green movement is the way that it subsidizes rich people when they make “green” purchases. I dislike subsidies generally, because they’re a form of wealth redistribution. But I really dislike it when government takes taxpayer money and hands it over
Continue readingHere’s an old joke: An established comedian invited a friend to join him at a very exclusive “comedian’s club.” The guest instantly noticed something peculiar. In the main room, a person would periodically stand up and shout out a number. “57,” one would say, and a few people in the
Continue readingOver at Power Line, John Hinderaker made an extremely important point about any allegedly “scientific” report that comes out now regarding climate change, especially if the report is connected with the IPCC: The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is about to release its fifth report on global warming. One
Continue readingAustralian Topher Field makes some of the smartest videos out there, poking factual holes in liberal fallacies. Here, he demonstrates with actual numbers culled from the climate changers themselves that it costs 50 times as much to “combat” climate change (oh, we puny mortals and the things we think we
Continue readingI haven’t blogged about climate change lately because any serious blogs about science change require science talk — data and stuff — and I simply haven’t had the energy to acquaint myself with and regurgitate all those numbers. After all, that’s what the marvelous Watt’s Up With That blog is
Continue readingBear with me here, because I’m about to prove how simplistic and primitive my mind is. I need you all to help enlighten me. Some high school students I know got an assignment to set up and complete an experiment. Some of the experiments they came up with include looking
