Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As I’ve mentioned here before, one of the legacies of my pregnancies is chronic (mostly) low-grade back pain that periodically decides to make itself known. I’m in one of those painful cycles right now. I’m certainly not in agony, but sitting upright for any extended period of time is painful.
Continue readingSome of you might have thought I was silent today in solitary with Michelle Malkin, Ace of Spades, and other bloggers who have gone dark to remind everyone what happens if people such as Brett Kimberlin, or entities such as our own government, silence bloggers, either through active malevolence or
Continue readingI bet all of you all remember “Everyone Blog About Bret Kimberlin Day.” After all, it took place less than a week ago. For those unfamiliar with it, this is the way it worked: Conservatives bloggers learned that Brett Kimberlin, using both the legal system and a bit of self-help,
Continue reading[UPDATE: This is why what we’re doing is so desperately important. Not only are some police turning a blind eye to Kimberlin’s activities (as described below), some of them are being innocently coopted into becoming armed weapons in Kimberlin’s campaign.] [UPDATE: Bumped this so new visitors to the site can
Continue readingLorie Byrd has been a long-time blog friend of mine. You guys probably know her from her blog, her Wizbang posts, and the articles she’s had published in major conservative online sites. Back in 2008, Lorie started working for then-candidate Renee Ellmers, who has been one of the stalwarts of
Continue readingI have two different types of ads on my website: the type that pop up automatically (that would be the Google Ads and those irritating turquoise words) and the ones that people or corporations place deliberately at Bookworm Room (that would be the hyperlink text and “Premium” ads), because they
Continue readingThose few of you who have been dwelling under a rock for the past week may not be familiar with the name Joseph Kony. Thanks to a viral video by a group called Invisible Children, Joseph Kony, crazed Ugandan killer, is a super-de-dooper hot topic, especially amongst high school and
Continue readingThe blogger known as Neptunus Lex was one of the joys of the blogosphere. Informed, witty, often incredibly funny, fiercely intelligent — everything that makes one fall into the intellectual embrace of a person one knows only through his words. And now he’s gone. Here’s more. I am deeply, deeply
Continue readingWe here at Bookworm Room have known Navy One for a long time. He starting commenting here even before he branched off on his own to start a blog called The Mellow Jihadi. He’s also a fellow member of the Watcher’s Council. I can confidently say that Navy One ranks
Continue readingThe Washington Free Beacon is a new online paper with an interesting premise: unlike MSM papers, which treat liberalism as the norm, and conservativism as a headline grabbing abnormality, this publication gives the big scare headlines to the Left. In other words, it’s not just that it reports the stories,
Continue readingOne of my new year’s resolutions was to try to make more money from my writing. If I don’t start seeing some money coming in soon, there’s really no way I can justify pouring so much time and energy into my writing. Instead, I’ll have to start trying to build
Continue readingMy apologies to any of you who thought I was ignoring your comments, since I didn’t toss in any responding comments of my own. WordPress got a bit backed up and stopped sending me email notifications about comments. Because I seldom check the blog itself for comments, but rely instead
Continue readingEvery year, blogger extraordinaire Doug Ross publishes a “fabulous 50” list of top blogs for the year. I’m very, very pleased to say that this year’s list includes, not only my own Watcher’s Council (with the nice addendum that “All 2011 Council members are winners”), but several other bloggers whom
Continue readingWhen I first saw the headline — “A $2.5 Million Libel Judgment Brings The Question : Are Bloggers Journalists?” — I have to admit that I felt a bit queasy. When I write something snide about President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or any of the other prominent Democrats I
