Political theory and the like is interesting but if you want to know what really matters…

…here it is:

My 20-year-old daughter Kennedy now has a big diamond ring on her finger, courtesy of the boy I call the Romeo of the Pampas, the Legendary Latin Lothario, Martin Nestares. (His name is pronounced “mar-TEEN,” although I refuse to do that Spanish thing where his last name is rendered “Nestarrrrrrres.”)

Honestly, he’s a good kid, even if he is planning to go to law school. He’s a Christian boy. Both his grandfathers are ministers. And he is muy respectful. In fact, it was our old-fashioned values — almost as much as our daughter’s lovely red hair and vivacious personality — that made Kennedy so attractive to this chivalrous tango-dancing caballero.

Let me tell you,, politicians, fads, and movements come and go, economics rise and fall, but when it comes down to it a happily married daughter and a house full of grandchildren that you can help pass your wisdom to in your old age while slipping them a few bucks for ice cream. What are the worst political or personal attacks next to that?

Robert Stacy McCain is a lucky and blessed man. My heartfelt congratulations to him and all his family.

My (hopefully) last post on the McCain Patterico business

Warning! this post is going to contain rank Speculation! I will mark it when I come to it.

The exchange on the Patterico/McCain business continues and has spilled over to other blogs, some that I like but don’t read daily such as Little Miss Attila, some that I only read once in a while such as Protein Wisdom and some that I’ve never seen before but I think I’ll read more often such as South Texan (thanks for the link btw).

I like a good debate as much as the next guy and tend to enjoy it. This debate is trickier than others because a person’s reputation is at stake, so here is what I think concerning this.

I think that both Robert Stacy and Patterico are acting in good faith. I don’t think this is a question of a grudge although there is the potential for one two develop. I think that would be a shame.

Ok here comes the totally unsubstantiated speculation because I’m talking about other people’s motives without asking them. This is my opinion and guess and is based on nothing except that: (more…)

My take on the Patterico business

Ok my business of the day before is taken care of, I’ve had a night to think about it and read and re-read Patterico’s post and Robert Stacy’s posts on the subject.

I’ve read Patterico for a while and assume that there is nothing underlying between him and Robert. I have no reason to believe anything else and I’m certainly not going to conclude anything like that.

So lets hit this topic in sequence: (more…)

Lets put it out there

I’m going to be gone for most of the day so I don’t have time to post anything long on this subject so I will be brief and to the point.

I’ve called Robert Stacy McCain my friend, I don’t do that lightly, there is a difference between friends and acquaintances.

I call Robert Stacy friend and that call stands, if people don’t like that or are offended by it, so be it!
