Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been going through my email, as well as through my “real me” Facebook today, and I find some interesting — and surprising — things. Here goes: The Islamic hostage crisis in Sydney My thoughts and prayers are with the hostages trapped in the Lindt Cafe in Sydney, Australia’s historic
Continue readingTrey Gowdy conduct a masterful examination of MIT Prof. Jonathan “Stupid Americans” Gruber. What made it so good was that he had Gruber repeatedly offer the canned defense that he (Gruber) was arrogant, stupid, and ill-informed. That defense might have flown once but, when a formerly boastful MIT professor said it over
Continue readingTrey Gowdy is masterful. He starts off strong and just gets stronger: Post by C-SPAN. Gruber looks like a trapped ferret, but it seems to me that his remorse is tied to his getting caught, not his having said those things in the first place. Were he genuinely remorseful, he
Continue readingI keep meaning to write something profound about what happened to our country yesterday, only to discover that other, much better writers and thinkers already got there before I did. I’ll just summarize by saying that Obama behaved illegally, unconstitutionally, and undemocratically. Having said that, of course, the really important
Continue readingWhy is this a “time warp edition”? Because even though I’m publishing it on Saturday, I actually wrote it on Friday. The reason delayed publishing is because I’m spending all day Saturday attending part II of my CERT training. I expect the training to be more of the same stuff as last

Just a burning desire to share with you all the wonderful things that come my way: Dr. Jonathan Gruber — the gift that keeps on giving It seems as if every conservative writing is churning out good stuff about what Gruber said, who he

Continue readingWatcher’s Council members voted for the Weasel of this past Week, and it’s entirely possible that the winning candidate may have won unanimously. Anywhere, for your enjoyment, I present the verbatim copy of the original post at the Watcher’s website. It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden
Continue readingI really need to get a more innovative and exciting name for these round-ups, a name that will convey just how exciting these round-ups are. I find writing posts easy and naming them hard. Perhaps you guys have a witty suggestion. I envision something along the lines of “The [Clever Name]
Continue readingI’m going to have a lot of stuff about the Israel/Hamas showdown (of course) but, for those of you who are interested in other stuff, don’t despair. I’ll have other stuff too. ** 1 ** I’ve often mentioned StandWithUs, an organization that was founded to fight the growing antisemitism on
