There can’t be any serious dispute that this is, well, odd: Before beginning the [twelve-hour] drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family’s hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon’s roof rack. He’d built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog. Then…
This bit in Jay Nordlinger’s latest Impromptus brought to mind Marc’s recent comment that liberals do better at comedy: And I am reminded of one of the reasons I fled the Left, many years ago: Personally, they were so mean — so nasty, so indecent. So full of mockery, ridicule, and scorn. I had to…
Oddly, regarding the President’s visit to Newport tomorrow, I find myself scowling not unlike a Democrat (Bushitler-types excluded). I’m relieved that I’ll likely be working on the other side of town, but except for that consideration, I’ll be just as happy to have him come and go, and I find that I mean from the…
It looks as if Andrew’s speculation might have been correct: Lynch, who must approve such bonding authorizations, complained that he is being rushed. The problem: the tobacco money comes with strings attached. “It’s dramatically different from other bonds that I sign,” he said. “This is the first time I’ve had to look at a bond…
A few minutes ago, one of the local TV news anchors teased a segment on the tobacco money issue with the question, “How would the General Assembly balance the budget?” Because Lynch didn’t emphasize potential, and because he could have examined the documents without a declaration about doing so, here’s my speculation: Whether it was…
Michelle Malkin has republished photos of what actual non-separation of church and state looks like. Others have rightly emphasized the silence that this oppression inspires on the international stage, but given recent discussion around here, I’ll make a tangential point: Some Westerners apparently believe that allowing Christians to buck the secularist system within their own…
Raising yet another sticky issue on the Sabbath, I note that Connecticut has decided that Roman Catholic hospitals may not behave as if the Roman Catholic faith is actually, you know, true: Victim advocates cheered a recent bill requiring all Connecticut hospitals to offer emergency contraception to rape victims, but Roman Catholic leaders see it…
The real-Earth geography of Middle Earth revealed. Given the necessary changes to the landscape since the Third Age, I’d say this is yet another argument against the Theory of Evolution.
Look. All I want is to be able to support my family. I don’t claim to be perfect. I don’t claim to have made a lifetime of sensible (or even reasonable) decisions. But looking around at the wealth squandered in this state, trying to squeeze bare-chested between the barbed stucco dams by which others have…
Although some readers will surely see it as over-the-top rhetoric, I can’t help but find something analogous to “dating violence” in the General Assembly’s treatment of lower governments. To politically capitalize on a horrible murder, the state legislature has — without any argument or evidence that such legislation will do one bit of good —…
