UPDATED — We've got to throw them off their game — here's how

Conservatives and Republicans have got to throw the Democrats off their game of destroying the United States as a meritocratic, capitalistic democratic republic. Here’s our game-changer: we must recall the Democratic and independent U.S. senators who will be running for re-election in 2012 and 2014. It’s not enough to focus on the 2010 elections, assuming …

That was a lot of snow

Two feet of snow fell here on Saturday and I spent most of Sunday digging out the walkway and driveway. Then I spent the rest of Sunday and today recovering. However, I did read up a bit today on the Senate’s vote on the healthcare reform bill. I agree with the rants on HillBuzz — …

How I got started playing the bassoon

Bassoonists are rare birds and band directors don’t start just any kid on the bassoon. At the very least they look for someone smart and determined. I got interested in music the way a lot of kids did in the 1960’s through the music of Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I joined our junior high …

How car exhaust kills during and after blizzards

Today, Dec. 19, we have gotten most of the 24 inches of snow expected here in Bel Air, Maryland, birthplace of John Wilkes Booth, our contribution to the nation’s heritage. Maryland doesn’t get deep snows every winter, so it is common that people do not have the skills and/or tools to deal with a big …

Hey, Newsbusters — Christians DO commit honor murder

We have a DVR and I record NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles because the former is one of my favorite shows and the latter has Linda Hunt, which makes it just interesting enough to tolerate. I also squirrel away various movies for my father, so on Tuesday I recorded “Gone with the Wind,” and something …

Bitchslap for John Aravosis: Democrats are losing on healthcare reform because their proposals stink — it's not a leadership thang, you fool

H/T for the video to Kathy Shaidle. Note to visiting HillBuzzers: clearly Bob Hope is referring only to Dr. Utopia Democrats. Dear Moe Lane drew my attention to the rant by John Aravosis at Americablog against the Democratic leadership for not being able to get the ever-changing and sometimes top secret healthcare reform legislation through …

Why I think the approval of gay marriage in Washington, D.C., will stick

Allahpundit over at Hot Air is pondering why the vote to approve gay marriage by the City Council in Washington, D.C., today was so lop-sided in favor, 11-2, with ex-crackhead-and-adulterer Marion Barry casting one of the opposing votes, when D.C. is a majority black city and blacks have reneged on their support for equality for …

If you are a fan of A Conservative Lesbian … please second my nomination for Grande Conservative Blogress

If you are a fan of, well, me, or, if not me, my writing, I would be most obliged if you would second my nomination for Grande Conservative Blogress over at Gay Patriot’s place. I have been nominated, but Daniel, formerly known as Gay Patriot West, tells me that isn’t enough — lots of people …

Obama hits a new low — in the polls, I mean, because with Obama and the expression 'new low,' you have to be specific

Today Obama built on his previous new lowest approval rating of -16 yesterday to plummet to his newest new low of -19 today. I wonder what is making American voters so testy with Obama — so “ungovernable.” (Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!) Wasn’t getting the Nobel Peace Prize in a box of Cracker Jacks on Dec. 10 supposed to …
