And I’ve got a really nice pre-owned car to sell you
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Then again, it won’t hide the stink of a rotten egg to call it an overly-mature ovum. But that doesn’t stop the reframing and renaming on … Continue reading →
Little Brother is watching you
It seems a person can’t say a word these days without someone recording it or writing about it. For example, the San Francisco fundraiser at which Obama described the bitter clingers of Pennsylvania was meant to be a very private … Continue reading →
Algebra according to Obama: Ayers = Coburn; Wright = Granny
The Obama/Ayers connection had been floating around the perimeter of the blogosphere for a while. But when it surfaced in the debate two days ago it became bigger news, in part because Obama compounded the problem by making a bizarre … Continue reading →
It’s not the syntax, stupid—and I’m not misspeaking
Obama continues to come up with creative excuses for his remarks that have come to be known as “Bittergate.” He now says he “mangled” his words (ouch!) and that it all was a syntax problem. As a writer, I sympathize. … Continue reading →

Rhetoric unmasked
Dr. Sanity deconstructs (love that word!) the emphasis of the postmodern Left—and its current well-known incarnation, Obama—on rhetoric. That’s postmodern rhetoric, as in, “[P]ersuasion in the absence of cognition… truth or falsity is not the issue: what matters primarily is … Continue reading →
