Leany on Life -- June 2013
I may not agree with your opinion, but I will defend to the death my right to ridicule it.

Billy's Blog
Billy Shakespeare once said "There is nothing new under the sun." True it is.I really don't need to post new material; I've posted enough for to show you the correct viewpoint on whatever comes up. But even if the news is always the same, you like to have a fresh clean newspaper with breakfast every day.
Clicking the "Billy's Blog" button to the left will deliver a fresh old post right to your screen. No matter how old it is, it will probably be relevant to what's happening today.
Today's Second Amendment Message
It can be discouraging to look around at who's running the show these days and wonder "Where have all the grown-ups gone?"
Take heart. There are still some people who are not drinking the Kool-aid. Here's where to find them. I would suggest going down this list every day and printing off the most recent articles you haven't read to read over lunch.
Michelle Malkin
Michelle Malkin is a feisty conservative bastion. You loved her book "Unhinged" and you can read her columns here.
Ann Coulter
Ann posts her new column every Thursday, or you can browse her past columns.
George Will
What can you say? It's George Will. Read it.
Charles 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,
who just posts at random times.
Jonah Goldberg seldom
disappoints.
David Limbaugh carries on the family tradition.
Jewish World Review has all these guys plus lots more good stuff.
Or you can go to radio show sites like
Laura Ingraham's
or
Glenn Beck's
or
Rush Limbaugh's..
If you'd like you can study The Constitution while you wait.
Then there's always TownHall.com, NewsMax.com, The Drudge Report, FreeRepublic.com, World Net Daily, (which Medved calls World Nut Daily), News Busters, National Review Online, or The American Thinker.
For the Lighter Appetite
If you have 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.
Or there's always
The Onion. (For the benefit of you Obama Supporters,
it's a spoof.)
Dilbert.
Dave Barry's Column
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.)
Another Cagle Index
Townhall Political Cartoons
In case you want cartoons that are well-drawn and don't make your jugular burst.
Or just follow the links above and to the right of 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.
The Litter-ature novel is here. I update it regularly--every time Rosario Dawson tackles me and sticks her tongue in my ear.

The Cost of Magic
6.04.13
I've watched a few episodes of the TV show "Once Upon a Time." The Rumpelstiltskin character has a saying. "All magic has its price, you know."You can get the spell. You can have the magic. You just have to pay the price.
That's government. Sure, they can come in and take care of you. But it comes with a price.
That's what struck me years ago with . . . can't remember, Hugo or Andrew, one of those big hurricanes that hit Florida. Someone on the news had a microphone stuck in his face and he was saying "Where is the government?! Why are they not here cleaning this up?!"
It just struck me that his first thought was about the government. Then I thought, yeah, they will be glad to do that, but it comes at a price. You pay for it and the currency is freedom.
Every magic has its price
People! We need people!
You saw this after Katrina. It was just bizarre. They had all these people in the Astrodome and they sent out a call for volunteers to come and help feed them. What? You need people? You've got a bazillion people. Grab the first hundred of them standing in line to eat, hand them serving spoons, and tell them "Get behind this counter, You are serving this, you are serving that . . . " Next meal you grab a hundred different people.Contrast that to Oklahoma where people are pitching in to help themselves clean up the mess.
Often in error, never in doubt.
"Science" comes from the Latin word meaning "knowledge." But the pursuit of science is the very opposite of knowledge. The basis of science is doubt.You remember this from grade school. You form a hypothesis, then you test it, then you modify the hypothesis and the cycle continues. The fundamental assumption is that you are wrong. That's how you progress.
Al Gore—and his ilk—are against science. They think they've got it all figured out. The last thing you want is to see data that contradicts their neat little understanding of how things are.
To be a liberal you have to have a fundamental misunderstanding about how the world works coupled with a fundamental inability to believe you can be mistaken.
Wisdom From my Dad
Too many people use data like a drunk uses a lamp post—for support, not illumination.
