Marshall, Nelson [...]

  —Conservative Musings

  Gee, where do we start?  Here's some quotes from an article about the Copenhagen climate summit:

  Copenhagen is preparing for the climate change summit that will produce as much carbon dioxide as a town the size of Middlesbrough. "We thought they were not going to have many cars, due [...]

  "George W. Bush has led our country into war, into debt, and into isolation with the rest of the planet."
  
  Last year, on the night before the election of President Obama, I wrote a lenghty entry covering all my November presidential ballots since 1980. Most of them were cast [...]

  Sometime today or tomorrow, we will cross another of those thresholds, this one the 60,000th visitor. I'm prepared with some rainbow sherbet and ginger ale to celebrate. I don't really have a post today - just noticed the numbers. So, if you're hanging around here' [...]

  —Conservative Musings

  "My patriotism has gone out of the window" says one British serviceman of the World War 2 era. One British writer received 150 responses to his request of what World War 2 vets think of their country now. Almost across the board, they are completely disillusioned with the 21st [...]

  But, yesterday, for a few fleeting moments, I did' [...]

  Anyone else run across salesperson problems today like Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds? I'd be as seriously bugged as he was if salespeople did the same to my kids. [...]

• Climate Change is Inevitable???

  —Conservative Musings

  I received in the mail today the December 2009 printed edition of Wired Magazine.  Spencer Reiss has an article entitled "RISING TIDE, Face it: Climate change is inevitable.  Luckily, we know how to adapt." (Titled a little differently online).  He goes on to say things like this:
  As many [...]

  Number of comments: 0
  Longtime readers of the blog - all six of you - are probably aware that falling snow has a tendency to get me all excited. So far this year that hasn't happened. We've usually had some of the white stuff at least blowing around here and there by this date [...]

  The RiverWalk is so cool. Walked quite a bit of it late last night with a group of friends. Earlier we had been to dinner at Buchanon's Steak House, ranked the 2nd Best Steak House in Texas. Thinks Morton's on steroids. To my knowledge we don't have anything like Buchanon's [...]

  Number of comments: 2
  I can't honestly say that when I voted last year for Barack Obama that healthcare was one of the overriding reasons. I'm sure it was one of the reasons, but not a the top of the list. Getting us out of Iraq was probably at the top. Or maybe it [...]
