WAKEPEDIA: Armchair analysis of almost anything--plus more. Almost.

An average conservative American's journal composed mostly of turgid babble on Politics, Capitalism, Business, Real Estate Appraisal, Family, Faith, Homeschooling, Theology, Science, Philosophy, Common (and uncommon) Sense--sometimes spritzed with reflections on how Poison Dart Frogs, Crocodiles, and Coffee can affect the Modern Age. Or... “Following--and occasionally dropping--some epistemological breadcrumbs down a path in the woods to--hopefully--enlightenment.”

"The challenge before us, then, is whether we respond to al-Qaeda's barbarism by running away, as it hopes we do -- abandoning the future of Iraq, the Middle East and ultimately our own security to the very people responsible for last week's atrocities -- or whether we stand and fight."

--Joseph Lieberman

"But then, there is the 'progressive' class ... that aimless mass of Western humanity so burdened by cultural self-loathing that it is to Islam, as ungulates are to lions." Celestial Junk



"When a society loses its memory, it descends inevitably into dementia." Mark Steyn



"When media organs fail to fulfill their basic responsibilities, they degenerate quickly into democracy's undertaker."

Caroline Glick



“(M)oving tax dollars from the wallets of citizens into the hands of government bureaucrats does not create new jobs–it just shifts funds from those who spend carefully to those who spend politically.” Burt Folsom





" Now we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It is a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. It's also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend-even a friend whose name it never knew. "



--George W. Bush, 09/11/2001



What some others have said about your host...

"Ah, Wakefield. Always nice to read your curious combination of insight and roughshod pragmaticism delivered with a twist." Nicholas, writing in The Hyacinth Girl blog.



"...you are incapable of producing anything but turgid babble, occasionally leavened by a 'humor' so arch that there are gargoyles mounted on top of it." --Jim Tourtelott, Assistant Attorney General, Legal Services, Austin, TX

(Thusly dissed by a lawyer, of all people--a representative of the most damnably indecipherable dialect of the Orwellian Babelese Languages plaguing American law, culture and politics, which we must tediously dissect with tweezers on a daily basis for our very functioning--so I think I'll really have a case of the "vapours" now. Golly gee wilkers.)
"If you take the trouble to research Wakefield Tolbert you will find that despite indications to the contrary he is a real person with his own peculiar blog, where, it may be seen, that the misjudged overweening self valuation manifested on these pages is mirrored in his forays upon other subjects."

--Roger

(commenting in the Watts Up With That blog)

Other Dandies

"First, we let government programs, the tax code, and special-interest-driven regulation slowly kill private markets. Second, we have government take over each area as it collapses: first health care for the elderly, then the poor, then the kids, then the near-elderly. Lather, rinse, and repeat until government controls it all."

--The Cato Institute's curt response to the notion of government-controlled health care.

"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."

C. S. Lewis

"Natural science does not consist in ratifying what others have said, but in seeking the causes of phenomena."

Albertus Magnus
