. . . sweet smoking Samoyeds am I ever a sucker for dogs in costume. Is there anything better? Seriously. Life is good. God is in His heaven. And you can dress a chihuahua up like Nacho Libre. Here’s a whole collection.
In this column America’s smartest, wisest pundit/professor, Thomas Sowell, (who happens to be black) recoils in horror at what is being wrought by America’s first black president. I’ve been calling Obama’s program for our country “decline by design.” Here, Sowell calls it “Dismantling America.” An excerpt: Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama […]
Mrs. Blather and I headed down to Waco on Friday evening in order to get an early start Saturday with homecoming festivities at Baylor University with Female Offspring Unit #1. The doin’s were big because this was Baylor’s 100th homecoming event. 100 years seems pretty impressive until you learn that Baylor was actually founded 164 […]
There is an interesting little collection of Soviet propaganda posters and political cartoons at this site. The poster above is a fine, Depression-era example. The headline reads: “Same year, but different weather.” The thermometers are respectively labeled, “Soviet Industrial Rate” and “American Industrial Rate.” On the dark, stormy American side we have a sickly, evil […]

He won the Nobel Peace Prize. Me: Wha…? Friend: Obama. Peace Prize. Me: Good one. Friend: Seriously. Me: You’re making that up. […]
. . . possibly. Here’s a fascinating (to me) roundup at Biblical Archeology Review of the top ten most important archeological discoveries of the last few decades. Check it out.
. . . sort of. A while back I promised a new feature here at BWR — a webcast. Well, the first installment is complete (if by “complete” one means it has a beginning; a big fat, mess of a middle; and something that feels like an end.) But first, a disclaimer storm . . […]
As the ancient Hopi Indian sages used to say: Much travel means meager bloggage. Sorry. On Friday, I delivered the eulogy at Poppa George’s home-going service and said a few words at graveside. As I mentioned on Twitter, there are far worse duties one can be assigned than to a provide a voice of tribute […]
