Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As a native San Franciscan, I’m embarrassed that I didn’t spot the resemblance sooner. Still, better late than never, and it’s a timely reminder before the upcoming debate. Here’s Joe “the Hyena” Biden, laughing his head off during discussions about nuclear war, crippling national debt, and other light topics: And
Continue readingWith the election drawing near, the pace of political posting on Facebook is rapidly picking up. I found two interest things just the other day. The first thing a friend put up is “The Worst Lies Paul Ryan Told.” What quickly becomes apparent is that, well, Paul Ryan didn’t really
Continue readingThe Vice President’s primary responsibility is to be in place should something happen to the president. This is not a far-fetched scenario. Over America’s long presidential history, several Vice Presidents have ascended to the presidency. Since WWII, we’ve had three presidents come in that way: Truman, LBJ, and Ford. The
Continue readingNobody ever accused Joe Biden of being coherent. Peter Heck, however, realized more quickly than I did that Biden was being exceptionally incoherent — or hypocritical or held tightly in the grip of cognitive dissonance — when he was asked to explain the relationship between his faith and his politics.
Continue readingHaving witnessed Joe’s debate performance, do you feel a little more nervous than usual knowing that, until at least January 2013, he’s just a heartbeat away from the presidency?
Continue readingDo you remember Jennifer Granholm at the DNC, when she was yelling and gesticulating wildly? She was a 33 rpm record playing at 78. Watching the Vice Presidential debate tonight, it was obvious that Joe Biden had broken into her medicine cabinet and taken twice the dosage. Either that, or
Continue readingTo begin with, DL Sly is right that, if I don’t make each and every one of you aware of Iowahawk’s latest post of genius, I am doing you a profound disservice. I won’t even make an effort to summarize what Iowahawk has done. Suffice to say that your life
Continue readingWrapping up a project that’s already taken me too long, so I’ve promised myself no blogging until it’s done. Meanwhile, here are some quick links: Explaining the Obama fundraising scandal. Cities can’t support themselves? Never mind. Force suburban homeowners to pay for them. It’s all good with the Obama administration.
Continue reading…because if Biden was speaking in Biblical terms (a) I’m plugging my ears and singing “la-la-la, too much information!”; and (b) I’m wondering which presidents:
Continue readingThere used to be an old joke that the Jewish vote pivoted on each Jew asking himself this question “Is it good for the Jews?” Not a very nice stereotype, but probably a true one — and true for any group in America, whether white, WASP, Jewish, Catholic, Asian, Baptist,
Continue readingI’m with American Crossroads, which believes that Joe Biden is just what the Democrat ticket needs: Gravitas! (Giggle, giggle.) I’m suspect, though, that the Democrats themselves are becoming disenchanted with Good Old Joe. Apparently they cast around for the Hillary alternative, only to get a resounding “No!” from a woman
Continue readingJoe Biden sent me an email the other day, one that was remarkable for the complete absence of substance, and the overwhelming presence of 1930s, Daddy Warbuck-ish invective: Starting now, we can expect even more wealthy, right-wing ideologues lining up to support the Romney-Ryan ticket. The people on the other
Continue readingMy internet has been down for most of the day (defective router), but I’ve been able to check in with the internet often enough to know that there’s a general sense of delight across the conservative blogosphere now that Romney has announced that he’s chosen Paul Ryan as his running
Continue readingYesterday, White House officials were telling Jake Tapper that Obama would support Israel. Any minute moments of hope I cherished that the administration actually meant what it said were swiftly dashed. This is Obama’s version of support: The Obama administration considers Israel’s blockade of Gaza to be untenable and plans
Continue readingI observed to my friend Joseph Libson that I’m of two minds about what appears to be an Obama implosion. On the one hand, since I think he’s a dangerously bad president, I want him exposed as quickly and fully as possible, so that he is president for as short
