Three on the McChrystal leak of the Afghan report here, here, and here. Oops, sorry here’s a fourth. OK, OK … a fifth.
Embarrassment? Hmm, I wouldn’t go that far, the recession is felt world-wide and a cost-benefit analysis might find that a census doesn’t pay … and might just as well wait until after the crises passes.
Friends-for-cash, late modernity strikes in Japan.
Somebody thinks that RFC’s constitute government regulation. Hint: they weren’t.

On abortion.
A reply to an atheist.
