Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A cold has been making the rounds in my neighborhood and it finally caught up with me. I don’t feel particularly ill, but I feel congested and quite desperately sleepy. I had a great deal to do today, and mostly managed to re-read Agatha Christie’s Mrs. McGinty’s Dead, which wasn’t

That’s the good news. The bad news? They’re heading to Syria and Iraq to fight on behalf of the most
Continue readingWe’re slowly moving out of Stockholm, and I have to admit that I won’t be sad to see it go. For reasons I can’t quite explain, it didn’t work for me. It’s definitely beautiful, but, but. . . . But I don’t know what. I just didn’t like it. The

If you’re feeling in a giving mood, the National Review needs help in its fight against the lawsuit Michael Mann (yes, climate change Michael Mann) filed against
Continue readingI’m finding some wonderful gems hidden in my inbox. This one goes back to April, but is too good not to share now. It’s a news story about the way in which the Swedish cultural elite — including the Minister of Culture — celebrate. Here’s a hint about what you’ll

Continue readingTwo interesting things rolled across my desk today, interesting because they address the same topic — dependence on Big Government — but reach diametrically opposite conclusions. The first is a Dennis Prager column that examines why American conservatives are happier than American liberals. This isn’t just Dennis’ opinion, by the
Continue readingI don’t have a link yet (it was tweeted), but it appears that the Swedes elected a center-right government. I see this as a good thing, although I haven’t lost sight of two facts: (1) Europe is so far Left that, as we know from England, even center-right is Left;
