Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been on the go since 7:30 this morning, and this is my first chance at the computer. Lots of good stuff: How Leftists think One of the my Leftist Facebook friends was outraged that the Republican-controlled House repealed a law requiring meat to have a country-of-origin label. He and
Continue readingNo, you’re not imagining it. Yes, I have been AWOL. The legal work has finally tapered off, but other things have filled the vacuum, taking up both my time and energy. Some of them are very nice things but, much as I love you all, I can’t share them here.
Continue readingYou remember what happened when Christina Hoff Sommers went to Oberlin and Georgetown, don’t you? If you don’t, these pictures, all showing these schools’ special snowflakes, will refresh your recollection: Now, a group purporting to be the Oberlin College choir has uploaded its response. It is brilliant:
Continue readingI spent way too much time today wearing my lawyer, daughter, and mother hats, with no time for my blogger hat. Well, the blogging time is now, and I’ve got lots of stuff to share. As is often the case when I’m tired, these are not in any particular order,
Continue readingLong day, low energy, but the siren song of blogging is calling out to me and I respond to that call: American campuses are becoming increasingly antisemitic Jonathan Marks writes about the way that pricey little Bowdoin College, tucked up in a corner of Maine, is “debating” a complete boycott of
Continue readingI know this is going to surprise those of you used to my usual output of posts, but I’m suffering from writer’s block. The last few weeks have been so chaotic, my opportunities to write so random and infrequent, and the news of the world so overwhelming that, now that
Continue readingThis is it — the ultimate round-up, consisting of more than 20 links that I’ve collected over the past couple of days and wanted to share with you. Nothing works better at squeezing a nice long blog post than a series of legal pleadings I really don’t want to write.
Continue readingOy! Even my interruptions keep being interrupted today. Still, I managed to gather together a few very interesting things: Heading into a another cooling period Even as the Left gets increasingly hysterical about “climate change,” which has become an all-purpose excuse for everything from drought, to deluge, to prostitution, actual
Continue readingI was a little girl when the phrase “Question Authority” became the mantra for teens and young adults. To give that generation credit, even as they stopped bathing and warped their brains with drugs, they really did make an effort to challenge the shibboleths that the academic establishment and the
Continue readingWord must have gotten out that I have a temporary hiatus in the endless mountain of legal work that’s overwhelmed me, because the phone hasn’t stopped ringing all morning. Every time my fingers get anywhere near my keyboard, the phone rings, I glance at the caller ID and, yes, it’s
Continue readingIn the preceding post about modern campus fascism, I linked to a Heather MacDonald article about the multi-culti, PC scam at America’s universities. Then, after I published the post, I opened my email and discovered this superb video about precisely that subject:
Continue readingOne of the truisms I grew up hearing is that “revolutions always eat their own.” I have understood this to mean that, in any revolutionary movement, the second generation, having been marinated longer in the revolutionary brine, is more extreme than the first generation and invariably purges that first generation.
Continue readingAlan Dershowitz challenges the talk about boycotting Netanyahu’s speech Read and enjoy Alan Dershowitz’s fiery denunciation of the Obama administration’s efforts to get Democrats — especially black ones — to boycott Netanyahu’s speech about the existential threat Obama’s policies pose to Israel. I won’t comment on the article — it
Continue readingI do like Vegas. I love its manic energy, crazed corporate imagination, over-the-top shows, brilliant colors, and flashing lights. And then, after three days, I’m desperate to get away from the noise and smoke and, often, the desperation floating above the casino floors. In other words, I had a great
Continue readingOn the one, you have this kind of crap coming out of American colleges: Another day in academia, another twist in the bizarre world of identity studies. The Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley, is presenting a talk next week on “Queering Agriculture,”
