Musings on a Sunday
This and that… Let me make this clear at the outset: I do not think Romney should run in 2016, and I do not think he will run in 2016. That said, I agree with this article that points out … Continue reading →

A little too Cozy for me
Somebody’s been making a ton of money off Cozy Classics, which are board picture books for toddlers. They feature a single word per each of twelve pages and are meant mostly to amuse their parents, I would guess: Read the … Continue reading →
ISIS, the rough beast
Read this, and think of ISIS: THE SECOND COMING (W.B Yeats) Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed … Continue reading →
Obama’s tough love towards Iraq: that’ll teach ’em
Quite some time ago I came to the point of having difficulty reading Obama’s speeches and interviews in full. I don’t mean cognitive difficulty; I understand them well enough. I mean a weariness at the overwhelming combination of factual errors, … Continue reading →

The war on the war on women
This seems like an exceptionally worthy cause: The UP Project, which stands for “Unlocking Potential,” will seek to help Republicans win back the Senate by directly confronting Democrats and their “war on women” narrative. But unlike other super PACs, the … Continue reading →
President Humpty
This guy understands something that not all people who criticize Obama recognize: that sowing chaos and destruction was Obama’s intent. No, not in the sense that each and every result was planned for in its details, or even its broad … Continue reading →
