Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Mark Steyn takes on the Democrat political machine’s outrage over Chick-fil-A, starting with certain mayors trying to run the company out of their cities because the company’s owner believes in traditional marriage (including no divorces), and then moves on from there: Mayor Menino [Boston’s mayor] subsequently backed down and claimed
Continue readingI was living in England back in 1981 when Chariots of Fire was first released. It’s been a while since it came out, but you probably remember that it was a movie based upon the true story of two actual British runners (and their fictional friends) preparing for the 1924
Continue readingI’ve got a new post up at PJ Tatler: The University of Southern California (“USC”), an expensive private university in Los Angeles, used to rejoice in the nickname “University of Spoiled Children.” I’m happy to report (my tone is dryly sarcastic as I write this) that the University is doing
Continue readingOne of the most iconic British World War I recruiting posters had as its goal shaming slackers into enlisting by reminding them that, at some future time, their children would want to look up to them for their war service: The Obama administration has just added a whole new twist
Continue readingThe other day, I blogged about the fact that innocuous, bland, silly Jay Leno had come under fire in India for making a joke that saw Romney vacationing in a golden palace — with the palace his staff selected just happening to be a famous Sikh temple in India. The

Continue readingBoth the SEALS and Charlie Sheen have been in the news lately, the SEALS for an extraordinarily well-planned, brave and effective operation, and Charlie Sheen because he’s a drugged-out piece of human detritus. Did you know, though, that the two — that is, the SEALS and Sheen — have something
Continue readingThis morning, my friend Kim Priestap sent a group of us an email telling about the Yemeni man arrested for trying to yank open the cockpit door while hollering the standard “Allahu Akbar!” Lee DeCovnik thinks we might have been seeing a dry run. The man apparently raced from one
Continue readingHere’s why I think the Obama-bots disposed of bin Laden’s body so quickly: because they were so paralyzed by multiculturalism, all they could think of was the Islamic imperative to bury the body within 24 hours. That’s it. I don’t think they thought beyond PC. Here’s the problem: My husband
Continue readingBecause I was away, I missed the whole first impact of the Owen Honors thing, but for glimpsing a horrified PC headline on CNN while waiting for a flight. That millisecond of MSM-manufactured finger-pointing was enough to clue me in to the fact that, if CNN disapproved, I probably wouldn’t
Continue readingThis is an absolutely true story: The conversation at my Mom’s retirement home got around to the subject of dogs. Someone mentioned the Belgian Sheepdog. “Oh,” my Mom said. “My own mother had one of those before WWI. It was a beautiful dog. It looked a little like a German

Continue readingSeveral years ago, my family and I visited Pompeii, which is one of the most wondrous tourist destinations in the world. To maximize our experience, we hired a highly recommended guide who walked us over the grounds, explaining everything before us. This guide’s particular passion was plumbing. He had no
Continue readingWith the publication of Jonathan Alter’s new book on the first year of the Obama administration, a lot of unsavory details are leaking out about No Drama Obama (Mr. Calm and Collected) and his crew. We already know now that Obama refers to those Americans who oppose him as Tea

That looks like a peculiarly disparate list of people but, in fact, all three people are bound together by one thing: the TSA Department of Homeland Security. As you already know, on Monday, the TSA
