Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Tim Tebow: star athlete, missionary, works with children, model for abstinence and respect. All around good guy. Gets flak — yes, flak — for his suggestion that athletes, because America’s youth so admires them, should behave well (i.e., stop drinking, drugging, whoring, and trash-talking): He has also stirred controversy by
Continue readingThis morning, at the American Thinker blog, Thomas Lifson posted an article saying that the National Enquirer is asserting that Michelle Obama came up with the idea to attack Ann Romney on the ground that she was a stay-at-home Mom. Thomas Lifson says that this report is credible, given Michelle’s
Continue readingThe Twentieth Century American paradigm for patriotism was our Flag, Mom, and Apple Pie. Obama’s Democrats have now hit the trifecta. We’ve got the flag: We’ve got Mom: And we’ve got pie, courtesy of Michelle Obama, speaking on April 8, 2008: The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks
Continue readingThere’s a lot of interesting stuff out there that I want to share with you. First, I have to add myself to the zillion or so conservative commentators who are all over the fact that Barack Obama, showing once again that he has no learning curve, made another Open Mic
Continue readingOn Facebook the other day, one of my friends offered her services as an English tutor — and included a grammatical error in her offer. Admittedly, it was an error that involved a usage that has been changing over time, but I still expect an English tutor to avoid this
Continue readingIf you’ve been trolling the internet at all the lost couple of days, you’re aware by now that Christopher Knight, who has what is apparently a paying gig at the Los Angeles Times, has taken umbrage at a political cartoon likening the profligate Mrs. Obama to Marie Antoinette, who was
Continue readingI was talking with a friend (he knows who he is) about the uniforms we wear. The military imposes uniforms on its members, but most of us impose uniforms upon ourselves. Because I’m quite petite (being both short and reasonably slender) and because I have matching small feet, it is
Continue readingHere’s the video of a speech Obama gave at the Transition Ceremony for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. You need only watch the first 40 or so seconds. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lISkOlMi2Ao[/youtube] Here’s my transcript of those seconds: Thank you very much. Secretary Panetta, thank you for your introduction and your extraordinary leadership.
Continue readingA video is making the rounds. Taking during the flag folding portion of the 9/11 ceremonies, it shows Michelle Obama whispering in Barack’s ear. He responds with a nod and a suppressed grin. Here, see for yourself: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W5xDBxE_0w[/youtube] I dislike Michelle Obama every bit as much as the next person,
Continue readingMichelle Obama’s fashion advisors must really hate her. Otherwise, how do you explain a dress that is so incredibly unflattering? First rule of women’s fashion — never, never wear clothes that give you the underarm equivalent of a muffin top. Also, referring to my post yesterday, my friend is right,
Continue readingI need help from you guys developing a thought. The thought started with this picture of Michelle Obama in a deep-veed, fluffy blouse; a saggy sweater; a bondage belt; and the gypsy skirt from hell: Aside from the fact that the picture pretty much puts the lie forever to the
Continue readingI’m noticing an interesting pattern in Obama’s Muslim speeches. He thinks it’s a very good thing for women to cover up. In his Cairo speech, he made that point, not once, not twice, but three times. As I caught in the post I wrote at the time, he said: Moreover,
Continue readingA few days ago, the University of California at Merced announced that the First Lady’s commencement address cost this public institution a fortune — although it hastened to assure us that most of the cost would be covered, not by California’s overburdened taxpayers, but by private donors. The nation’s overburdened
Continue readingBy now, all of you are familiar with the Obama administration’s effort to shut down an Inspector General who was making life uncomfortable for a big Obama supporter. IG Walpin contended that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was misusing federal funds (to the tune of $800,000 plus) for his personal benefit.
Continue readingThis is supposed to be a “news” story about the Obama family trip to Paris. It strikes me as coming much closer to a bad bodice ripper, with scary Messianic overtones: People gawked and cameras clicked as the Obamas cut a wide figure through the French capital even while confined
