Who is a Conservative?
This weekend I attended the annual Chicago Conservative Conference for the third time in four years. A wealth of valuable information was imparted, but the main thing I walked away with was an understanding as to who exactly is a conservative in our society today.
The demographics of the attendees would have [...]

EDUCATION
The economics of teacher quality: “As a result of unionization, pay differentials between high-aptitude and low-aptitude teachers have disappeared over the past 50 years. According to a new study, one unfortunate consequence of this pay compression has been to push high-aptitude teachers out of the teaching profession.”
More school failure: “Teenagers [...]

Live by the sword. . .
Gunmen attacked a former United Nations office in a diplomatic quarter of Damascus, setting off a battle with police that pelted nearby buildings with bullets and grenades. The reclusive Syrian government is blaming the violence on “unknown terrorists.” It’s ironic, isn’t it? The 2nd largest state sponsor [...]

So you want to know why drug costs are so high?
Some obese woman takes a prescription diet pill. She stops taking the pill, and four years later dies. A Texas jury, probably not a scientist among them, makes a link between the diet pill and the death, and awards the woman’s family $1 [...]

EU expansion brings USA opportunities
Nevermind the fact that this story is from McPaper, the underlying message is that freedom and free trade are good. It makes me wonder what the “globalists” who are against free trade think of the EU. Sure, the EU isn’t perfect, but it is tearing down borders, [...]

Uh-oh, We’re in Trouble!
If I believed in the black helicopters, I’d say this doesn’t bode well. On the other hand, if the feds are going to start monitoring blogs, perhaps they’ll read this one and start running the Country properly.

The Mysterious Medals
If you want “a defining incident” for John Kerry, it is this ridiculous episode of whether he did or did not throw his Viet-Nam medals away during an anti-war demonstration in 1971.
Or was it that he threw someone else’s medals away but kept [...]

Report from the Beltway
Between paying off credit card debts and taking my wife to museums, I don’t have a lot of time (for now) to engage in ongoing elitist (in the best sense of the word) discussions of modern American society. But sometimes, opportunities just throw themselves in my face.
On the metro, the [...]

Does Listening to Mozart Make You More Intelligent?
New evidence with rats suggests that it well could. I’d like to see a reverse experiment done–that listening to rap makes you a m—-f—- idiot.

The Politics of South Park.
Is libertarian? A convincing case is made here but, of course, you don’t have to convince admirers of the show like me of something like that. Apparently, Trey Parker is a card carrying Libertarian which is something that I did not know. Besides, we’re South Park Republicans on [...]

The War Between the Sexes.
This is from Mencken’s “In Defense of Women,” but it’s the second section. The first section I blogged last month but it was very poor in terms of interest level for our readers. My suspicion is that many didn’t bother to read much of it. With this link, [...]

And the Winner for Best NFL Draft Is…THE DETROIT LIONS.
No, don’t take my word for it. I’m biased but ESPN has backed me up.

Holland Goes Anti-Hippie.
Is it possible? Well, they’re phasing out their high grade gonja but they’re also cutting down the amount of street walkers. Yikes! What will happen to the tourist trade? Oh, who cares about the Europeans anyway.

SOME ICONOCLASM
Iconoclasm was an early Christian doctrine that was revived by early Protestants but these days it refers to upsetting popular beliefs. Leftists aspire to it but usually end up preaching false beliefs instead
There is a brilliant article here on the “aging population” problem. Because of better health-care and many bourgeois women [...]

Yet More on the March of Feminist Hate.
I’m so glad K.J.Lopez of NRO went on their little weekend anti-Bush venture. You can ask Common Sense or I, hanging around leftists yields awesome anedotals!

The Great Ed on Grover.
I also must agree about the policy of hate. I was following a car that had a
bumper sticker (next to their Kerry sticker) Warning: Anyone but Bush in
2004. I thought that was exactly the point Rush and Hannity have been
making.
Kerry has nothing to run on. [...]
