  • [It appears that on the Left bank the Bush Derangement Syndrome is on the wane. In 'The Left Learns to Love Dubya' WSJ columnist Kim Strassel integrates this little change of mood into the overall national Trash Trump program.  Perhaps the locals have yet to get their new marching orders.  Speaking of locals, has anyone…

  • [One of our daughters is visiting this weekend and we decided to take in the gun show at fairgrounds today.  The entire show fit into the Amaral Center and was very well attended; in fact there were actually too many people there back to back and belly to belly.  But the show itself was a…

  • [334 comments and counting in the last sandbox.  I think we've had a sea change in the sandbox debates participation.  gjr]

  • [Many apologies for having closed the 12feb17 sandbox without opening a new one – I really did mean to do that instantly, but somehow it fell through the crack with all the other debates going on below my subsequent posts.  Mea culpa.  That said, all I ask is that if there's a recent topical post…

  • [I was perusing RR's hoary past to note the constant torrent of comments predicting the assured and imminent demise of the Republican Party for this or that outrage according to our tireless local progressives.  I also note that no one from the Right has been foolish enough to predict the Democrats' demise for doing some really…

  • [The pro/con outrages in the news about President Trump are filling up sandboxes even faster than usual. And the spate of eagerly published fake news stories that get retracted regularly now are keeping several pots boiling in the intervals. gjr]

  • [President Trump made the most populist and unambiguous pro-America inauguration speech in history today.  In many ways it was an 'in your face' indictment of his predecessor.  Now it is time to deliver.  Godspeed to our new President!  gjr]
