Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Sometimes, the timing is just right. This morning, minutes after I’d read Hillary’s honest, and appallingly ugly, opinion of a huge section of the American electorate, I discovered that one of my Facebook friends had chosen last night to upload a poster repeating Hillary’s uplifting request that the American people

The older of my two dogs is very high-strung and she got so frightened by the wind that carried the fog in tonight that I’ve had to sequester her and me in my home office so that Mr. Bookworm, who needs to get up for work tomorrow, can sleep. She shows no

Curious about coughs. I went to Dr. Bing and checked out what illnesses are associated with chronic coughing. (Yesterday, I oh-so-delicately suggested tuberculosis, although I think the likelihood that Hillary has TB is close to zero.) Ruling out the obvious things (a cold, a simple allergy, asthma), here are some

I’m always pleased when my thoughts align with Dennis Prager’s. It makes me feel as if I’m on the right track. With regard to #NeverTrump versus #NeverHillary, Prager takes the latter position and cogently (and with due respect for the #NeverTrump cadre) explains why: All Never Trump conservatives maintain that

Hillary’s cough has sounded awfully familiar to me — and today I finally figured out what Hillary’s endless coughing jags bring to mind. To back up a minute, though. . . . As anyone following the news knows, Hillary’s been coughing a lot . . . an awful lot. Just

I realized the other day that, in a very visceral way, I’m actually looking forward to a Trump presidency. This realization comes as a surprise because (a) I still don’t like Trump’s style and (b) Republican presidents never follow through on the change they promise. And yet. . . .

I cut through an Urban Outfitters store today because it shaved off a lot of walking on the way to See’s Candies. (By the way, if you ever come to the San Francisco Bay Area, be sure to visit See’s Candies for some of the best chocolate candies available in

In the past couple of weeks, two superb essays came out castigating conservatives who are going to do anything but vote for Donald Trump, whether that means voting for Hillary, Johnson (a closet Democrat who’s been Hillary’s echo chamber), or what’s his name the Mormon. For me, the bottom line

I tend to submit my name to various political campaigns, both Republican and Democrat, so that I can see their emails. Most of the emails are open begs for money, and they are predicated on fear — the other side is winning, we’re cornered, we need your help. As Scott

I don’t particularly like a friend one of the Little Bookworms has, although I feel quite sorry for the young woman. She’s in her late teens, with staggeringly low self-esteem that she buries by indulging in drugs, alcohol, and gender fluid sexual engagements. I don’t worry, though, that she’ll be

The Marx Brothers’ Horse Feathers came out in 1932. It’s not a very memorable movie except for that one classic tune: [Groucho] I don’t know what they have to say, It makes no difference anyway, Whatever it is, I’m against it. No matter what it is or who commenced it, I’m

There is a sad running debate going on between the Left and Right in America today: Which party’s candidate is the biggest liar? Both Hillary and Trump appear to have, at best, only a passing acquaintance with honesty. For every article saying that Trump is a liar, there’s another article

The Hillary supporters amongst whom I live are thrilled to pieces with the report that 50 GOP “national security experts” have signed a letter calling Trump potentially “the most reckless president in American history.” I certainly understand their concern about putting reckless people in charge of America’s national security. Just

Up until 2008, although the media was already reliably Leftist, it still kept up the pretense that it was objective. In every election year, it interspersed its cheerleading for the Democrat candidate and put-downs for the Republican candidate with occasional stories that praised the Republican with faint damns, and that

Donald Trump is a successful businessman and a teetotaler who is undoubtedly bombastic and vulgar. None of those are traits of mental illness, either ideopathic or because of an injury, or of addiction. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has been showing genuinely strange behaviors on the campaign trail —
