“Take her anti-obesity thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat. And I know I’m going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make...

In any case, it’s worth remembering that the idea that your daughter or whoever strikes you as your most inviolable kin is having a ‘nude’ picture taken of them is just nonsense. Whatever else you can say about the backscatter scans, they usually reveal about as much as you do walking around the pool in a tight bathing suit. (Note: A number of the more revealing...
The funniest thing you will read all day...
is the National Review’s ode to Thanksgiving.
Once a year, we Americans set aside a day for a feast of thanksgiving. It is worth remembering — and, may I suggest, taking time to discuss with the family and friends gathered at the Thanksgiving table — to whom and for what we are thankful.
First and foremost, we owe a debt beyond measure to those who, in every generation since America’s...
Politicizing Airport Security - NYT →
Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and a Republican presidential hopeful, called the scanners and the pat-downs a “humiliating and degrading, totally unconstitutional intrusion,” in an interview on Fox News. If the president thinks such searches are appropriate, Mr. Huckabee said, he should subject his wife, two daughters and mother-in-law to them. Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey...

Death Panels in Arizona →
The only political effort to implement death panels since Obama got his health reform bill passed has been in the state of Arizona. There the Republican-controlled legislature with the approval of GOP Governor Jan “there are headless bodies turning up all over our desert” Brewer has told 98 people waiting for transplants that they must die.
Those 98, who are either poor or uninsurable by...

Being a new girl here is a lot to process. Your dopamine receptors are haywire from so much of what feels like the right kind of attention and you preen out of paranoia. Sometimes you tap-dance about books, music, movies, food and politics for complete strangers. For hours. You mind-meld with people you hope to never see again because they scare you a little. You get sick from the options and...

It’s sometimes interesting to see how one side of the political spectrum views the other. Usually it’s funny, and maddening, and wrong. And usually, it tells you more about the side that is doing the projecting than it does the side they are projecting upon. A piece up on National Review today entitled The Liberal Mind Rejects Sad Facts fits into all of these categories.
Leftism is...
