Obama is basically trying to set Israeli policy for the Israelis. This diagram makes a superb point if the tables were turned. Hattip: Advice Goddess. Continue reading

The month of May has historically been a significant month for me. I don’t know why but a lot of big stuff has happened to me right around the Ides of May. My first marriage happened right about the middle of May–I signed the lease on my own apartment when leaving that marriage in the… Continue reading

A good friend of mine is a professor. Today she got the written portion of her evaluations back and was reading some out to me. In answer to the question, ‘how can we make this class better?’ she got the following comments: “I like yo-yo’s” and “Contrary to what science says, I think we should… Continue reading

I truly have nothing to add. Read this about the vilification of Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin and the Left’s attempts to elevate Michelle Obama to Goddesshood. I concur with Bookworm that bringing back the Roman vomitoriums isn’t a bad idea since reading the mainstream media often unsettles my stomach, to put it mildly. Continue reading

Boy, I don’t even really know where to begin on this one. Between Arlen Specter and his conversion to the Dark Side, ahem, Democrats, due to the fact that his pollsters told him that he couldn’t win the Republican primary in Pennsylvania or this little tidbit that’s not widely known throughout the web about how… Continue reading

I was reading this article that was on Drudge’s front page. I deal with statistics and numbers for a living and I call bullsh*t on the whole thing. Their sample size and methodology was as follows: “The AP-GfK Poll was conducted April 16-20 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Media. It involved telephone interviews on… Continue reading

One of the things that I try to do is see patterns in the world around me. Maybe some of them aren’t accurate (that cloud looks like a pig with wings) but I think that sometimes I’m hitting pretty close to the truth. I was listening to NPR this morning on the way to work… Continue reading
