What to do until the Blog arrives



The Litter-ature novel is here. I update it regularly--every time Sarah Palin tackles me and sticks her tongue in my ear.

Things you may not know about Sarah Palin


Everyone needs a regular routine for printing off the latest column to read over lunch. In the interest of helping you occupy the internet connection your boss provides, here are my suggestions for how to use your time until the lazy writer of this darn blog posts something.

Daily News
Of course, every day you need to read the news. I recommend The Nose on Your Face, news so fake you'd swear it came from the Mainstream Media. HT to Sid for the link.

Monday: Michelle Malkin
Michelle Malkin is a great conservative bastion and very smart lady. You loved her book "Unhinged" and you can read her columns here. Or you can use Monday to catch up on Dilbert.

Tuesday: Dave Barry's Column
Dave Barry is often imitated but never duplicated (and believe me, I've tried). If you want something more political for Tuesday just go to Jewish World Review to read some good stuff.

Wednesday: Daryl Cagle's Index of Political Cartoons
About half of these cartoonists are liberal (Latin for wrong) but the art is usually good. (Fantastic, if you're used to the quality of art on this site.)
Or you can read George Will's columns for someone that's both talented and intelligent.

Thursday: Ann Coulter
Ann posts her new column every Thursday. You'll find that there are two sides to every issue: Ann's side and the wrong side. You can also browse Ann's past columns (saves you the price of her new book).

Friday: Charles Krauthammer
Krauthammer posts every Friday. Just a good, smart conservative columnist. If you want someone who gets it just as right, but is easier to read, try Thomas Sowell. He just posts at random times.

Then there's always World Net Daily, NewsMax.com, The Drudge Report, FreeRepublic.com, News Busters, Jewish World Review ,(lots of great columnists), or National Review Online.

For something a little lighter there's The Onion. (For the benefit of you Obama Supporters, it's a spoof.)

If you'd like you can study The Constitution while you wait. Or you can go to radio show sites like Laura Ingraham's or Glenn Beck's or Rush Limbaugh's.

Or just follow the links above and below this section (you can't have read all my archived articles already). If you have read all my articles (you need to get out more) go to my I'm Not Falling For It section.

Above all, try to stay calm. Eventually I may post something again.

Your Rights Explained
12/16/08

I think a lot of people automatically understand issues that I struggle with somewhat. For example, it intrigues me that those who don't share my conservative viewpoints often speak as though they view my positions as unreasonable.

I wonder if part of the problem may be that our liberal friends have had their perception skewed by some conservatives who may not be as careful as they might in explaining their views.

For example, I saw a blog where one fine conservative lad proffered the opinion that "car dealers have a right to make a profit."

While I understand what my conservative friend is trying to say, I have to wonder if his case might better stated thusly: Those good people have the opportunity to make a profit.

I believe a careful study of the philosophies of Adam Smith, upon whose principles conservatives base much of their economic views, would aid this good fellow toward a more enlightened understanding of the core principles of profit as it relates to our Free Enterprise system.

It seems to me that to summarily grant anyone the God-given right to make a profit would necessarily involve revoking the consumer's right to make a choice. I have long thought that the beauty of the Capitalist system is that in order for one to make a profit he has to fulfill the needs of another.

I believe that if my misguided conservative friend were to carefully examine the wording of his position he would find that it could reasonably be construed as being more in keeping with the philosophy of the labor unions, which I'm certain was not his intention.
