And you think you have trouble keep up with family occasions!

I ran across the name Yitta Schwarz the other day. WHEN Yitta Schwartz died last month at 93, she left behind 15 children, more than 200 grandchildren and so many great- and great-great-grandchildren that, by her family’s count, she could claim perhaps 2,000 living descendants. Mrs. Schwartz was a member of the Satmar Hasidic sect,…

Seriously, why?

What’s what with US Gun Control

If you don’t understand US gun control, you should read this. If you think you understand US gun control, and don’t understand why the senate voted down Obama’s bill, you should read this. This is by far the best, most comprehensive post I have ever read on the topic. And it’s written by a far-left…

Quote of the Day – Crisis edition

Via Instapundit. I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis. Quite. It’s interesting how those who claim that our demise is imminent never seem to actually do something about this supposed imminent demise. Example: the people who tell us that fossil fuels are ruining the environment… while flying…

Helping Obama’s brother

I’m inclined to discount this story somewhat (it just smells a bit too convenient), but there’s no denying that Obama has some curious priorities when it comes to whom he chooses to help. A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named George.  He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me…

Quote of the Day

Had I just gazed the world through my Twitter feed, I would think Chick-fil-A was on the verge of bankruptcy. . . and also that Ron Paul was president, gay marriage was legal, and President Obama didn’t have a decent chance of losing the election.” Via instapundit. For those who don’t get the joke, Chick-fil-A…

(Not) locked out

Well, in trying to post the previous post I discovered that WordPress’ system had locked me from posting. I would like to thank the good folk who provide this free service for promptly recognising the mistake. I’m not sure why it happened, but I suspect that either the previous post activated something, or some people…

Quote of the day – Outdated political lines edition

Some people aren’t keeping up with political reality. Um, sorry, Charlie… it’s not “all true.” Not even close. Ask Tea Party-backed Allen West or Tim Scott. Or Tea Party-backed Marco Rubio. If someone is still pushing this “Tea Party is racist” meme after all this time, it is only evidence of that person’s inability to…

John Adams

My wife and I have been watching the John Adams mini series which I’d been recording. Sadly I missed the first episode. Then I recalled something from some time ago… and sure enough, DPF had an old post on the series. The seven part John Adams miniseries has won 13 Emmies, a record for a miniseries.…
