“Card check” is name of a proposed law that would take the secret ballot away from the employees of an organization who are voting whether to unionize. Instead, the employees would vote publicly, or union representatives — the most dainty, petite, soft-spoken and compassionate ones, no doubt — would be sent around to beat up …

Is Obama's mandatory 'voluntary' public service corps the slippery slope to the Weathermen's vision of re-education death camps?
I came upon this story at I Saw the Right, which may have gotten the illustration above from Six Meat Buffet. Protein Wisdom picked it up from Weasel Zippers, which got it from World Net Daily News, as quoted below. The idea in my headline that Obama’s mandatory “volunteer” corps is a slippery slope to the …
You learn the most interesting things about Obama at HillBuzz
I dearly love those nice young gay men at HillBuzz and read them every day. They poured out their hearts and bank accounts and traveled to many states campaigning for McCain/Palin, so show some respect, please. Since they live in Chicago and know Obama from WAY back, they regularly provide the most interesting details on …

Picture of Dorian Obama
I met Ed Morrissey of Hot Air at Bloggers Row at CPAC for the first time today and I have to say he is a scholar and a gentleman. He asked me how I first started on the path from liberalism to conservatism and I promised him I would write a post on this part …
The enemy at the gate
My father attended the University of California at Berkeley in the 1930’s and early 40’s studying nuclear physics from undergrad through Ph.D. under Robert Oppenheimer and Ernest Lawrence with Nobel laureate Emilio Segre as his doctoral thesis advisor. His family lived near the university so he took the tram for seven cents, or walked a …
Why ridicule is Obama's Kryptonite
I remember when I was in high school (1967 to 1971) my father’s great enthusiasm for the books of Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman philosopher and author of The True Believer. Dad’s copy is next to my keyboard now and I see it is dated “April 4, 1970,” so he bought it when he was about …
Serving the king
The eternal struggle between pragmatism and idealism was highlighted in a beautiful monologue in an episode of The Closer from its second season in December 2006 written by series creator James Duff. It came at the end of a two-part show about a Muslim boy in Los Angeles murdered by a KGB agent who had …
Phaeton: the myth of Obama
I am surprised that so far no one has picked up on the similarity of Obama’s narrative to the one in Greek mythology of Phaeton, whose mother was an Ethiopian and whose father was Helios, the god of the sun. Like Obama, Phaeton succeeded in getting himself in charge of something for which he had …
The chilling explanation of why Obama is cool
Much is made of Obama’s so-called cool and calm demeanor and how this makes him superior to ordinary mortals who get emotional about stuff, and how this means he clearly has magic powers to keep all of his contradictory and often mutually-exclusive promises because if he didn’t, why, then we would know because he’d act …

Mr. Obama, You're No Abe Lincoln
[This blog was born on January 12, 2009, and I took it down and put it up in different combinations of WordPress, Web hosting and domain names until I arrived here on January 25. But I didn’t re-post everything I had written. However, Pres. Abraham Lincoln was born 200 years ago today and Obama and …
