Quote of the Day

Today’s Quote of the Day holds out some hope for bloggers having a bad day: Failure is inevitable for the writer. Any writer. I don’t care who he is, or how great he is, or what he’s written. Sooner or later he’s going to flop and everybody who admired him will try to write him [...]

Taxes

I was all set to lay into this John Scalzi post: WHATEVER: Tax Cuts, Feh but then I just ran out of energy. The comment section is full and since Instapunidt linked it I am sure a big chunk of The Blogosphere has commented on it. I do want to note a few things. First [...]

What's up Tiger Lilly?

Holy meltdown batman! Take a look at Tiger Wood’s scorecard today. He has four bogeys and a triple bogey on the front nine to fall back to even par! he is now eleven shots off he lead. They call Saturday moving day but this is not what we expect out of Tiger. P.s. Free book [...]

Spending, Conservatism, and Republicans

I just accidentally erased a long post on government spending responding to Josh Claybourn’s post. I am not sure I can successfully recreate it. Perhaps that is for the best. Josh is intent on dropping the subject for awhile and I am not sure I am deeply committed to the fight such as it is. [...]

Come Back in the AM

Wierd Day. Don’t feel like posting. Will do so in the morning. Subjects: taxes, spending and party loyalty, a Solzhenitsyn book review. Plus maybe golf . . .

Quote of the Day

I have to run off to Home Church so I can’t stay and post. I will, however, offer you this interesting quote from this neat little book I picked up: Fighting Words: Writers Lambast Other Writers. Take Hemingway. People always think that the reason he’s easy to read is that he is concise. He isn’t. [...]

Things I'm Not Doing in Columbus

President Bush “41″ was in Columbus this week.. Did I get to see him speak? No. Tiger Woods is in town, playing the Memorial Tournament. Did I get to see Tiger shoot a five under 67 today? No. Will I get to see any of the Memorial in person this year? No. (BTW, this article [...]

"Mere Conservatism"

Good post from Ben Domenech on Mere Conservatism. Ben breaks down conservatism to five main points: Limited Government, Strong Defense, Free Market, Traditional Values, and the Sanctity of Life. As usual, I can’t find much to argue with there but I will point out that these days the devil is in the details. Most conservatives [...]

Big Government and Conservatism

There has been a lot of discussion in the Blogosphere over spending, tax cuts, and political parties. Josh Claybourn has been banging a drum on this one for a while but got all heated up again recently (see here, here and here). Andrew Sullivan chimed in as well. Via Balloon Juice I came across this [...]
