The Handwriting is on the Wall in France

Charles Martel is spinning in his grave over this. Chirac and de Villepin are paralyzed, civil war has come to slap the arrogance off of French faces all over the world. I wonder how long it will take them to throw up their hands and surrender while a few patriots swallow what's left of their Gallic pride and, once again, ask for help from Britain and the United States. Captain Ed says there are 4 million Muslims in France. If Charles Martel had had to contend with that many, there would be no Western civilisation.

Warning to Leftists: If you ever try to deny your hypocrisy

This story is a few days old, but now there is more. Leftists, Liberals, Dems: No God, No Morals, No Principles, No Blow Too Low. It's all about POWER. They don't want you free, they want you obedient, subservient, ignorant.

Conservatives have them figured out. How long is it going to take for the 40% of Americans who put themselves in neither camp to wake up and repudiate these putrid goons?

Hey, someone posted a comment! um, but, er...

Today I noticed that someone actually posted a comment on my blog. However, there are several problems with the comment that make me want to discount it as an actual contribution to my bloggitude.

The comment was very long. It was a reasonably well-written (grammatically) MoveOn.org talking points tirade. This makes me think that the poster just got my URL from someplace that identifies me as a Conservative without having had to read my blog. I also think this tirade must have been posted to other blogs on that list.

The clincher is that the comment was posted to my Dilbert Blog post and NOT to any political post that would have been more relevant.

Oh well, the waiting continues...

The Dilbert Blog

I may be way behind the curve on this one, but I just got my copy of the DNRC Newsletter #61. Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind the Dilbert strip, has started his own blog. In the spirit of recent helpful how-tos, here is Scott on blogging:

When I see news stories about people all over the world who are experiencing hardships, I worry about them, and I rack my brain wondering how I can make a difference. So I decided to start my own blog. That way I won't have time to think about other people.

People who are trying to decide whether to create a blog or not go through a thought process much like this:

1. The world sure needs more of ME.
2. Maybe I'll shout more often so that people nearby can experience the joy of knowing my thoughts.
3. No, wait, shouting looks too crazy.
4. I know - I'll write down my daily thoughts and badger people to read them.
5. If only there was a description for this process that doesn't involve the words egomaniac or unnecessary.
6. What? It's called a blog? I'm there!

The blogger's philosophy goes something like this:

Everything that I think about is more fascinating than the crap in your head.

The beauty of blogging, as compared to writing a book, is that no editor will be interfering with my random spelling and grammar, my complete disregard for the facts, and my wandering sentences that seem to go on and on and never end so that you feel like you need to take a breath and clear your head before you can even consider making it to the end of the sentence that probably didn't need to be written anyhoo.

If that doesn't inspire you to read my blog, I don't know what will. You can find the Dilbert Blog at
