Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Okay, this is the kind of story that puts me in a panic: Senior moments, such as forgetting a recent conversation, may be a sign of the process that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease, research suggests. US scientists examined the brains of 134 older people who had appeared mentally sharp,
Continue readingYou all recall the almighty hooha when Stanley “Tookie” Williams, an Original Gang member for the Cribs, and a convicted killer of four, was put to death last year. You’d have thought the State of California was executing Mother Theresa. Today, with almost no fanfare, the State of Texas put
Continue readingI found something that amused me at the Arab News, which calls itself “The Middle East’s Leading English Language Daily.” It was a religious advice column, with someone writing in with this question: Nowadays Islam is under so much assault with some non-Muslim saying that it is not a peaceful
Continue readingI periodically check out Yahoo’s Most popular news stories site, which only seems to carry articles from the Left side (and Ann Coulter, although I never know how she creeps in there). When I checked just now, the most emailed story was an AP story entitled “Scientists okay Gore’s movie
Continue readingIf we were to repeat the past, I bet you’d find this story in the New York Times, circa July 1944 A secret code breaking group that both Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt authorized has broken a German code and has been using that information to gather intelligence about
Continue readingI don’t like the ACLU. I think it’s an agenda drive organization, in thrall to Bush Derangement Syndrome. This means it takes its theoretical focus — the preservation of individual rights against the state — and simply attempts, time and time again, to subvert that goal to striking out at
Continue readingBetter thinkers and writers than I have tackled Bill Keller’s letter to the public justifying his blithe release of security secrets. One thing he wrote, though, stuck in my mind, and I haven’t read anyone yet who has commented on this point: It’s not our job to pass judgment on
Continue readingI think Heather MacDonald has an excellent summary of the fundamental errors lying behind the NY Times’ hubristic thinking that it is the appropriate gatekeeper of this nation’s security secrets: The bottom line is this: No classified secret necessary to fight terrorism is safe once the Times hears of it,
Continue readingNPR loves to interview RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) or CHRINOs (Christians in Name Only) to make the point that the currently self-identified Republicans or Christians are imposters who have wandered into the wilderness, abandoning true Republicanism or true Christianity. These interviewees may, of course, be correct, and those who
Continue readingMy father, who knew what he was talking about, always said, "You fight a war to win." I don't remember him having a pro or con view regarding Vietnam. I do remember that he was disgusted by the fact that the biggest military superpower in the world couldn't just go

Continue readingThe article, at the New York Times, is called "Another Kennedy Living Dangerously." The little promo for it at the NY Times website — the one that's supposed to have you clicking over to read the full article, says "The environmentalist turns crusader and goes out on a political limb.
Continue readingIsrael has never negotiated for hostages. Israeli operatives have always known that, if they fall into Arab hands, they're on their own. But apparently the atrocities visited on Thomas Tucker and Kristian Menchaca decided the Israelis that this type of stuff is not going to happen on their watch. How

Continue readingSome time ago, I blogged about the UC Santa Cruz chancellor, Denice Denton, who was profiled in the SF Chron because of her very questionable expenditures — including getting a cush, pricey job for her lover. It turns out that she wasn't only someone who used power unethically, she was
