Daily Roundup

Harry Reid gets it with both barrels from Investor's Business Daily:


In aiding and comforting the enemy in wartime, Reid has betrayed the office he holds, shamed the Nevadans he represents and made the Democratic Party he leads synonymous with surrender. There is one way he can repair the damage he's done to the nation: step down.


When mass killers meet armed resistance. A short recap of violent shootings in "gun free zones". This is a direct shot across the bow of the leftist who were saying that more gun control was needed at VT. Read the whole thing.


It's 2007 where is my flying car?

I'm looking at booking a family vacation in the wilds of my ancestoral homeland. While browsing, I found this quote:

"All 6 bedrooms ensuite, 3 family, spacious, teas & coffee and hairdryer with panoramic views"

I'd hate to have a hairdryer with one of those non-panoramic views.


Is France doomed?

Answer: No. They only need to be sufficiently threatened to awake from their slumber. There is a strain in France that is disgruntled and has been for a long time. They're sick of the truckers shutting down everything whenever they feel slighted. Nicolas Sarkozy has advanced to the second round in the presidential elections. He's pitted against
Ségolène Royal the Socialist candidate. This is a clear illustration that the French have to choose between keeping with the socialist past or breaking free of it.


I'm no William Donahue. I don't see anti-Catholicism in every newspaper article or pop culture offering. This however, qualifies. Shameful.

For Gerard

 Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them.  I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up.    Gerard of American Digest was one such writer.  His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable.  I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link.  I literally had zero readers.  Just like now.  But that was the measure of the man.  He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link.   The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person.  Morgan and Gerard were friends.  They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works.   I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man.  He's dying now.  If

So....the autism thing

Since April is nearly over and it's autism awareness month, I suppose I should talk a bit about it. I guess the best way to start is to rehash the story of How I Got Here. My oldest was born in 1999. Healthy, happy and so on. One peculiar thing he did as an infant was to avoid eye contact. Our doctor assured us it was because he was so young and his eyesight was undeveloped and he was probably focusing on something in the background that was more interesting. Besides, babies don't recognize faces for a few months after birth. Only later did we find out that our doctor was an idiot. He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know?
