5. Logic and the not-pro-life crowd.
6. Some Irish history.
7. Sounds like …. (or of language and memory)
8. Hermeneutical fail … in that I have no idea what is meant by that reply.
9. A possible future.
10. In trying to parody (highlight?) loony remarks of the other side, the poster comes of as a, well, bigger loon. Wonder if that was the plan.
11. Healthcare and Oregon.
12. “Cleared for transfer“.

Good morning.

1. The gun/girl culture.
2. Mr Obama’s buddy defends his bombings … unsuccessfully it seems.
3. Hmm.
4. Even handed remarks from the left, or not.
5. And in that vein … yikes.
6. Culture.
7. Statistics and risk.
8. From the weekend, (Christ is risen).
9. Mental health and guns.
10. Book burning and the interwebs.
11. Well, did that just end the gun control debate?
12. Happiness metric.
13. Perhaps more than just cultural pressures?

Good morning.

1. Let’s start with some doodles, of a non-graphical sort.
2. If you believe a thing to be true, it’s not lying … if you publish it in a paper however, it means your editor is sleeping on the job.
3. Racial blinders. It’s not race, it’s culture, btw.
4. Oh go ahead, be happy.
5. Looking at the prospect of naval warfare and situational/geographical tactics.
6. Are we really talking about Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread?
7. Coloration.
8. Considering the Boston brothers with bombs.
9. And something more to be said on that front.
10. Rolling back the clock, is it possible?
11. Heh.
12. The trials and tribulations of covering the military.
13. In need of financial advice.
14. Mad skillz.

On to the business at hand …

2. Ooh, surprise, taxes going up is the “hidden” plan.
3. Better than raising taxes any day of the week.

7. Hollywood and the musical.
8. Remember this.
9. Not alone in that confusion.
10. Despicable? or just ordinary ho hum?
11. What if you didn’t kill him, just put a round in a lung?  That’ll usually take the vim and vigor out of a guy.

This week has been crazy. The hotel web site crawls (which I can access at night). I’m with only sketchy phone service, no data, and no network all day. Odd doing that during a non-vacation day.

Ok. Link?

1. Pressure and the working world.
2. Syria and a prayer request.
3. Bike tech of a different sort.
4. Going way past the feed the beast notion.

7. Jane Austen and game theory.
8. Stupidity in schooling.
9. This is strange. On a Christian group conversation blog, a fellow “can’t imagine a leader not hung up on power” … Uhm, there was this Galilean fellow, you might call him the  leader of a movement, some time back …

11. Hey! Notice. The first quote is by one speaker. The second by others. People of the same party can have different notions and expressing different ideas is not a 180 shift of a viewpoint.
12. Love and the ordinary Puritan.

Yo. Link?

1. On Mr Gosnell from First Things.
2. A modern Confessor. Martyrs are remembered for dying for their faith, confessors are remembered for suffering torture or imprisonment for the same … just not to the point of death.
3. Dirty Dozen, fiction film and well known. Filthy Thirteen, non-fiction, history and not known. Something is wrong there.

So it goes.

1. Once allies, no longer?
2. For your inner cowboy. Or outer?

4. Gun control and the reasonable middle.
5. Zoom.
6. Some bomb tech information.
7. When the “sharks” are making a marginal profit … seems to me that they are not actually sharks.
8. In which “can’t” means “won’t” … and 7 of the murder charges remember are for killing “accidentally not killed” late term abortions … an issue for which Obama voted to kill ’em anyhow in Illinois.

Gee I thought I had more saved. …. ah well.

Good morning. Links?

1. Yah, and you can only ride a horse cause the founders didn’t “intend” cars. And … the framers didn’t want you using only crossbows, but allowed the most technologically advanced military weapons to all. Guess that means Mr Leiter thinks actual (real not pretend) assault weapons for civilian use is what they intended.
   
2. Portion control.
3. For those places in the world not near one of the top 10 largest freshwater lakes.
4. The knuckleheads in Congress will not call for background checks and registration of … pressure cookers?
5. Speaking of which … Science!
6. From the aisles of the diversity knuckleheads. Doh!
7. ’cause marathons are not in such hubs?
8. He would know.
9. Dangerousness.
10. Seriously? My daughter applied in October to here (Illinois) to schools online, was accepted in weeks, got financial aid offers about a month later and decided in January. What deadline do they speak of?
11. Grist for the SSM debate. Actually, less like grist more like sand in the axles.
12. Not grown here.
13. Toys for your toy.
14. ’cause all libs know you get STDs from toilet seats and pregnant from thinking the wrong thing.
15. Flee from evil veggies.
16. Mr Rahe needs to read his co-poster Mr Groseclose. Mr G found the WSJ reporting is liberal as they come … it’s their opinion pages that aren’t liberal. The Wash Times is one of the few non-liberal papers in their reporting section according to the studies.
17. Well it’s good to hear that NBC is not part of the threat.

Well I’ve come to a point where I’ve been far enough from the abortion debate, which the Philadelphia kerfuffle has brought back to the front burner, that I feel I can’t muster a coherent argument for abortion at all. So, what I’m going to try to do here is mention the two or three points/arguments that I know for that case and see if anyone out there can fill in the gaps or offer argument not mentioned that are stronger. Read the rest of this entry

Good morning.

1. Some SSM thoughts from First Things.
2. Zoning laws meet the green movement.
3. Bad arguments meets hypocrisy. Let’s see “background checks” … would not have stopped any of the recent events but are necessary and … “didn’t read the bill” was exactly the Pelosi statement regarding AFA which at the time was just fine. Wonder when he’ll cite the Democrat representative who didn’t realized magazines used in pistols were reusable when citing ignorance.
4. Just remember, background checks would (not have) fixed this either.
5. Remembering Thatcher from the UK(raine).
6. Commandments and Scripture … are not deontology.
7. The perils of education.
8. Drones.
9. Just remember, this is an incentive to save more, not less.
10. Yer homework.
11. A photographer captures the perfect image for April 15th. Your government and you, a relationship in pictures.

Well, the Gosnell kerfuffle is in the news.

1. Dachau’s neighbors and what they knew.
2. NAF?
3. Bias in media. I did see an amusing turnabout on this.  One “feminist” wrote an article about this guy 2 years ago, which apparently means that the feminist press has been “all over this” since the get go. Uhm, riiight. Apparently the NYTimes employes only one feminnist writer. Who knew?
4. More on media.

See?

Three, mark that, three in a row.

1. ACA marking time.
2. Obama salary stunt described.
3. A brave man indeed.
4. Remember Obama’s speech in Egypt, talking about Islam and religious freedom? Hmm.
5. I too have the book, it has been recommended to me, but haven’t read it.
6. Whose the protagonist.
7. Jobs report.
8. Some remarks on the Obama budget, unserious as ever.
9. About that minimum productivity limit.

Two days in a row! Woo.

1. The East and icons.
2. Chopsticks and nukes.
3. More to come with Obamacare rising.
4. Mr Irons makes the same point I’ve made.
5. Spartacus! While Lance (used) to be a the big US cycling star, when Lance was riding I was a fan of Michele Bartoli and then Cancellara.
6. Alcohol … yah, prohibition worked so well.
7. So, Mr Obama flaunts his ignorance. One: “Surely there are well meaning Democrats who can tie their shoes. Two: “Fully automatic” … except, alas,  it wasn’t and we all know that (including the speaker). Three: “We waste money …” which is an excellent description of what you’re doing full time, however politicians are not usually so upfront about money wasting as their vocation.
8. So if Mr Bush had said that? What would be the reaction in the press?
9. Yes, you are constrained. This is a feature, not a bug. If you think otherwise, you’re unfit for office.
10. Oh please, get real. What percentage of Down under overseas travel is to the predominantly Muslim Malaysia? Probably most … hence the policy. It’s not “dhmittude” it’s about profit.
11. I don’t the reason for the continued shortage? I begin to suspect government intervention/regulation.
12. No dilemma … no reason to choose between them at all yet, these can not be the only criteria/description of the policies.
13. I guess Garmin and Tom-Tom will be funding the appeal, for the ruling basically says you can’t use a GPS while driving.
14. Heh.

Busy busy.

1. Woo. Nukes.
2. And guns. More guns?
3. LOL.
4. Debt.
5. And speaking of debt … someone around here was arguing that incentives to save have been on the rise. Whoops.
6. Art and emotion.
7. I hadn’t realized my younger daughter was so exceptional.
8. The Nile and denial.
9. Cypriot economics.
10. An amazing algorithm for the unbreakable password.
11. There’s two ways of looking at this alas. Anyone who centers their religion of any sort on Jesus of Nazareth belongs anthropologically speaking to a Christ cult, which in some circles are called Christian(s). However, Nicene confessing Christians commonly use the term Christian to mean Nicene confessing Christians, which a person who denies the Resurrection is not … and myself being a Nicene Christian agree, that failing to confess belief in the Nicene creed means … you’re out of the club.
12. Democrats like to point out they are better educated and pretend to smarter than the conservatives across the aisle. How they do that, is sometimes quite amazing. Wow, dumb like that has to be practiced for generations I imagine.
13. A ghost slum?
14. Just imagine how bad this would be in the absence of global warming, eh?
15. News from Syria.
16. Well, apparently nobody in the White House read Fault Lines.
17. That STEM education. It always amuses me when politicians tout how we “need more STEM” students and squawk about needing to promote STEM. Uhm, so .. Mr Politician … tell me, why didn’t you get a degree in a STEM field, hmmmm?

Good morning.

1. Markets of sorts.
2. Suspended?
3. Feminism moves backwards, removing a reality on account of a fiction.
4. Making your point.
5. Drones and a shift that is less than it appears.
6. And we just grouse because schoolteachers and priests aren’t fired.
7. Cyprus.
8. Cause and effect?
9. Where the press is less free than here.
10. A sunstone.
