The Scourge of VD Hanson

It has been over a month since I blogged---and I found out that on occasion, someone actually reads this stuff! Let's just say this month has been full and successful in many ways - thanks to fantastic friends and associates: I Care International raised over $5K at our Swing into Fall Dance; CodePink has been growing in numbers and in funds; P-tec posted a record month and Georgia attended AstroCamp and her soccer team is 5-1!

What got me going today was the usual Sunday commentary in the San Luis Obispo "Tribune" newspaper. Ugh. Can't they find a conservative that isn't such a bombast? Victor Davis Hansen is who I am referring, in case anyone needed any further description. In my own subtle and oh so sweet manner, I like to refer to him as "V.D. Hanson" as he ravages and devastates the current geopolitical landscape with his contrived opinions.

Supposedly V.D. has a successful following and career, according to the people at the Hoover Institute - because of his vast historical knowledge. To me, he is a prolific writer that appears to have the wondrous ability of disconnecting all the dots and duly misinform readers. VD Hanson is a no body, with less than impressive credentials which further illustrates his lousy interpretation of history.

Every week we get subjected to the rants of VD Hanson - today it was about moralizing. That's rich. Read the column carefully - all he does in it is spew perverted views of respectable allies, institutions and individuals. Whether it is Knight Ridder, The Tribune or the Op Editor, how about trying out some other conservative writers with depth and relevancy rather than this pseudo scholar with the impertinent writing skills of a young Republican on campus? (That's Fresno State, by the way, home to VD Hanson) - Hoover Institute at Stanford, you ought to be ashamed.
