Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Yes, I know you’ve been dying for your weekly Dancing With The Stars update. Monday night’s show was a rushed one because it had only an hour due to the debate. In that hour, the twelve remaining stars were divided into competitive pairs that had to do the same dance. The

Enough of politics. I need a break from the lies, the spin, the meanness — and that’s just the media. It’s time for a palette cleanser and, with Dancing With The Stars having kicked off its 23rd season, I’ve got that emotional refresher lined up. A quick explanation about why I happen
Continue readingI should be heading for bed, as it’s after midnight, but I’m so thrilled to have a moment to myself that I can’t resist a little blogging. I’m feeling especially smug (and tired) tonight because my heroic 1:30 a.m. efforts yesterday were the difference between success and ignominious failure on
Continue readingYesterday, the phone or the doorbell rang every 10-20 minutes all afternoon and evening. We had a rotating cast of characters for dinner, one of my dogs hid for the day, and the other dog barked itself into laryngitis. I have no complaints, as I like a social house, but
Continue readingI’m not the savviest person when it comes to body language, but even I can tell when someone is using inappropriate laughter (h/t PJ Media). In this case, that person would be Barack Obama, who is just cracking up during a meeting with Texas governor Rick Perry. This wouldn’t be
Continue readingSince at least Reagan, the standard liberal trope is that Republicans, both voters and politicians, are stupid. That trope has, of course, emerged again this year. The joker in the deck is Newt Gingrich, a PhD and author who spokes with incredible fluency and has a masterful grasp of facts.
Continue readingLet’s see if I’ve got this right, based upon the evidence currently available: Obama is a grandiose narcissist Newt is an egomaniac Hillary is a compulsive liar Mitt seems vaguely asperger-ish, with a weather vane in place of his spine Herman is a serial womanizer (assuming, for the sake of
Continue readingBack in 2007 and 2008, I pretty strongly supported Romney. If you check out my Mitt Romney category of posts, you’ll see myriad posts in which I praised his economic acumen and his character. It looks as if I’ll be dusting those posts off again. When Perry came on the
Continue readingWhat do you think of it? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EL5Atp_vF0[/youtube] I find the over-the-top music on the “Perry is wonderful” part a bit distracting but otherwise agree with those who think it’s an effective ad.
Continue readingWhat do you all think of the Gardasil leviathan attached to Perry? Bachmann went off the deep end when she said that the vaccination causes mental retardation, but I know there are plenty of conservatives (Michelle Malkin is a good example) who think that Perry’s attempted Gardasil legislation makes him
Continue readingAs the primary season heats up, here’s a good question to ask: If we want to end the primary season with a viable political candidate to face off against Barack Obama, are there limits limits to the nature of the attacks that bloggers launch against the Republican candidates during this
Continue readingI’ve been focusing for years, almost to the point of obsession, on Obama’s nasty crack to Hillary during the Democratic primaries. She said, with rather charming self-deprecation, “I think I’m likeable,” and he sneered in return, “You’re likeable enough, Hillary.” It was that moment at which I said, “This is
Continue readingStephen Hayward advances a solid argument that Romney has the lock on the nomination. As I read it, the core of is argument is that Romney is the seasoned Republican campaigner, whose weaknesses have already been thoroughly exposed by a hostile media. Perry still has ahead, as Hayward says, a
