Since the primary, I have been largely silent about the upcoming election. That is mostly because I am fed up with the way things are going in both parties and I am lukewarm at best about most of the candidates, except those I outright don’t like.
There are things that need saying, though, especially since the [...]

Do not make changes to blog template while using Bob’s Linux computer.

If memory serves, he characterized Libertarians, as many people do [...]

As I have said before, I don’t like to talk about religion on She’s Right, but sometimes it comes up. Religion is part of politics. And when people hear the word conservative these days, the word theocracy often follows.
The irony in that is that many conservative Christians (meaning that their beliefs about Christ are conservative, [...]

Jeff Soyer, from my favorite gun rights blog, Alphecca, has started a new project, “The Single Guy Cook.”
This is an offshoot of the “Stupid Single Guy Food Questions” series of posts he did on Alphecca.
Here’s the gist: Single guy can’t cook, needs help. He asks the questions, you post the answers. Or in the case [...]

Last week, there was an article in Seven Days about an interview with John Dean, former Nixon White House Council and author of the new book, Conservatives Without Conscience.
It reminded me of something I have wanted to say for a very long time.
