Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When lawyers were arguing ObamaCare before the Supreme Court, Obama’s attorney’s claimed ObamaCare was a tax, while everyone else’s attorneys claimed that it was an unconstitutional penalty. Justice Roberts, for reasons unknown but still deeply suspect, agreed with both arguments. Things got exciting after that. In the days since the
Continue readingThis came from the Romney campaign: Friend, Today, the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. But regardless of what the Court said about the constitutionality of the law, Obamacare is bad medicine, it is bad policy, and when I’m President, the bad news of Obamacare will be over. It was always a

Continue readingThink about what’s wrong with this picture (emphasis mine): Romney campaign senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom defended Mitt Romney’s call to arm opposition forces in Syria, saying it would create “a level playing field” this morning on “This Week.” “They are brave, and they’re not going away,” Fehrnstrom said of those
Continue readingI tend to shy away from predicting the future. If I’m right, the future was probably so obvious that everyone else had the same prediction. If I’m wrong, I should have known better, and I end up walking away sadly scraping the egg from my face. All morning, though, I’ve
Continue readingFor several years, every Tuesday and Wednesday morning, my sister has regaled me with stories about Dancing With The Stars, which is not just her favorite television show, it’s actually the only show she watches. For those unfamiliar with DWTS, the premise is simple: every season, a group of TV
Continue readingThe silly season is over; it’s time to get serious. Gov. Romney has released his first television ad, one that’s targeted, not to the political geeks on the internet, but to a broader TV audience, one that hasn’t been paying him very close attention: What do you think of the
Continue readingYesterday, I wrote about European fairy tales versus American fairy tales. Of the former, I said: That’s the theme in the majority of fairy tales that originated in the old world: be good, be passive, and some deus ex machina figure, usually magical, will come and rescue you. Passivity is
Continue readingWomen have been responsible for some pretty bad presidents. Warren Harding leaps most easily to mind, since his was the first presidential election in which women participated, but women were also water carriers for JFK and Bill Clinton. The Barack Obama campaign clearly hoped to capitalize on women’s bad habit
Continue readingLet’s put aside the laughable fact that the MSM has had to go back to 1965, when Romney was a teenager, to find something bad about him (or, more specifically, something bad about him and a putatively gay person). This ridiculous attack has naturally generated attacks against Obama and Biden,
Continue readingYesterday I wrote a ridiculously long post comparing Romney and Obama to Ward Cleaver and Eddie Haskell respectively. Many people had nice things to say about it but, in terms of garnering hits, it’s sunk like a stone. Go figure! I mention it now because the genesis for that post
Continue readingLeave It To Beaver is an iconic television show, complete with archetypal American characters. Week after week, during its Eisenhower/Kennedy heyday, the show presented its American audience with the naifs (Beaver and Wally Cleaver) being enticed into dangerous or embarrassing situations, thanks to the machinations of Eddie Haskell. Eddie was
