Harry Reid referred to President Obama's light-skinned blackness and his lack of a "Negro" accent. Trent Lott, on the other hand, said nice things about a 100-year-old Strom Thurmond at his final birthday party without mentioning race at all. "I Don't Know How In The World I Could Condone, Support Or Understand His Statements." "'As ... Read more

Forapspitzer's original comments in their original form, see the previous post. I have much to say and little time today, but this one point I cannot let go: We did not go into Iraq to liberate anyone. It was one of many reasons that Bush outlined for the Iraqi invasion from the outset. I quote ... Read more

Acarry-over of a debate in another place. I won’t provide any more context than that, but I think you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly. Over the last decade, one has heard repeated cries of bafflement from conservatives on why liberals are not willing to keep the debate civil. Although it's incredulous how out-of-touch ... Read more

I'm at an Internet cafe in Port Angeles, Washington, home of all manner of Twilight paraphernalia. (The town is much dumpier than it is in the books.) The lovely Mrs. Cornell is using my computer, so I have some time to kill, and what better way to kill time than blogging? This blog featured ... Read more

Soif you haven't seen this, watch it. You'll need it as background for today's post. Actually, I thought that was far gentler and funnier than it could have been. All in all, it was very much a positive. I wasn't the only one who thought so. One of my friends works for the Mormon Tabernacle ... Read more

It says: ‘For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The ... Read more

Iknow, I know. Climategate. It's huge! I have much to say, but I'm waiting for the story to unravel just a bit more. I want to talk, instead, about what may well be the worst decision of Barack Obama's presidency. I recognize that that’s a very high threshold. His bloated, wasteful stimulus package, his ill-conceived ... Read more

Onenight in my apartment, I, Jake, was on my bed. I was sleeping when I heard stomp stomp stomp. I heard a creeeaaak. My door was opening. It was... It was? Boom! I was hit with a magic spell and went right back to sleep. That morning, I woke up. I was looking around and ... Read more

Ona side note, I keep getting spammed by some Russian mail order bride company. I don't know why. Most of them show up on the "Call Me Ishmael" post. So I've changed the comment moderation settings - for posts over two weeks old, your comments will be moderated. I think that will cut off the ... Read more

Weran a family 5K today, and Corbin, Cornelius, and Cleta each ran it in under a half an hour. I pretty much walked the whole way, as I was pushing Stalliondo in a stroller. Quite cold. But fun. Chloe walked with me, and Stalliondo cried a lot. Still fun. No freshly killed turkey this year ... Read more
