Conservative Tenet # Lucky 13
One of the points of looking in detail at the Conservative Tenets was to see where Your Humble Blogger was in agreement, as well as the dissent. I’ve found a bit of agreement, and a lot of disagreement, as well…
A communitarian, a progressive, and an anti-corporatist walked into a bar…
Your Humble Blogger often gets caught up on throwaway lines in the middle of otherwise perfectly reasonable columns. The latest is from E.J. Dionne, Jr. in this morning’s Washington Post, in which he says: [Senator John] Kerry’s speech underscores that…
Which the tail and which the dog?
Where’s the outrage? OK, I know where the outrage is, and it’s sitting in the heads of some of the readers of this very blog, but still. The BBC is reporting that not only were we all misled about what…

Greenbacks, with blue detailing
The Money Factory has announced the design of the new Henrys. They don’t look as much like Fonda as the last ones did. Thank you, -Vardibidian….
