Yo.

1. NPR crosses a fence.
2. Can’t be fixed, toss it.
3. Above the law, not.
4. Cuteness.
5. Maybe, maybe not, probably will apply far more in your future healthcare experience.
6. Rocks.
7. Disasters help schools?
8. I’d say so.
9. Getting older?
10. Happy now?

Not morning, but still … got it done.

1. I’m unclear on this strategy. In most “shutdowns” people do less. In this shutdown they actively do more work than normal. I mean seriously why do stuff like this … oh, wait.
2. In a State with a high population of those for which it was targeted … signed up -> zero.
3. Sex and display and pressure.
4. Killer joke or joke killer?
5. Something to remember the next time a Democrat bloviates about needing that access to guns is the solution. It isn’t.
6. Standards and sticking to them.
7. Those seven really really active effective al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan.
8. Doublethink.
9. Teaching and metrics.
10. Tactics.
11. How to do customer support.
12. Uhm, people aren’t “rushing into” the CEO business because giving up your life for work 24/7 and jumping on a continuous work treadmill isn’t what most of us want to do.
13. Getting well.

Good morning.

1. Biplane trainers at the tail end of the Pacific war.
2. Slavery, modern.
3. Sounds like an Israeli mistake, sending over 10’s of thousands of concrete construction slabs and not realizing how many are disappearing.
4. Free will.
5. Cost and higher education, here and here.
6. The final point is good, if the “Redskins” are bad ’cause they are insulting to some … how about “Fighting Irish”, which too can be taken as an ethnic slur.
7. Goals.
8. Barricade relocation to White House … two views here and here.
9. Obama and counter-terror operations.
10. Huff puff.
11. A long post considering Russia and the US.
12. Beltway discord.
13. Structural discord.

Good morning.

1. Body and the Christian life.
2. Not unrelated to the above.
3. A question not asked.
4. Of bigotry and hatred.
5. The science of winning a bike race.
6. Printed guns getting better all the time.
7. A top 30 fail list fer that big gubmit rollout.
8. This should be on that list perhaps.
9. Quoth Mr Sharpton.
10. The fruits of graft.
11. The way this is written it seems someone things that continuous learning after school is the exception not the rule.

G’day.

1. Mad skillz.
2. Stupid administration tricks.
3. The NSA goes into the food service industry. Maybe as a second profit center to shield themselves from budget cuts.
4. Rules broken, confessed.
5. An observer from a foreign planet.
6. This reminds me of an article in last weeks science news, which is topical on its own because the the somewhat recent rise in vampire story popularity. Actual vampires (blood feeders like the bats) have to deal with two big problems, peeing and bloating (blood is high volume and very very high in water content …. actual vampire bats will urinate while feeding and are far too bloated with blood to fly afterwards. “I vant to suck your blood” loses the sex appeal when the speaker is incontinent and morbidly obese after feeding). Something to bring up with those twilight fans.
7. Russia’s real problems.
8. It’s not an ethical dilemma … it is clearly very very wrong … at least for Christians. Who is your neighbor?
9. The Tomb Raider reboot makes sense. This, not so much.
10. Prohibition and a progressive trifecta.
11. It’s so good to see modern beltway progressives are fully supportive of populism.
12. Parsing Mr Scalia on the Devil.

Wooo. I’m home.

1. Weeping because one didn’t read enough marks the serious bookworm.
2. A question asked.
3. Neo-Keynesian economics and inflation.
4. “Needs more churn” sounds like a call for mass firings. So, the government shutdown is a good thing … providing they are let go not just furloughed.
5. More churn.
6. B/P on debt ceilings here and here.
7. Beauty and death (HT).
8. Scare quotes.
9. Theology and song.
10. On sin and repentance.
11. Talk radio not appreciated. Who knew talking about sports sports sports 24/7 was so charged?
12. Questioning whether said fallacy is actually fallacious.
13. Debt.

Hey!

1. Apparently the county is having an existential crises. Hyperbole anyone? And no, if you think Obamacare is a existential crises, that’s hyperbole too … it just a big step in the wrong direction.
2. Leftist forever, doing well for them, eh?
3. Not naughty, stupid. Hello, neither side is “giving anything up” that’s the impasse.
4. The problematic essence of the Obamacare.
5. Another view.
6. Writings of the hymns.
7. Hack your car.
8. Confusion … a more everyday useful purpose to put this is using the non sequitur to stop young children to stop crying.
9. Street gangs and facebook.
10. Stock exchange analysis and climate.
11. What your library dreams of at night.

So … government shuts down tomorrow … my prediction is few will notice.

1. Seeing small things.
2. Leaks.
3. Unimpressed by the hostage/terror rhetoric coming from the left.
4. Fer your book inbox.
5. And cinema!
6. The standard model and a small crack. Perhaps.
7. I’m not getting it. Let’s see, abortion makes women “equal to men” in that that can walk away from pregnancy. A man walking away is horrible. How is making it the same for women a good idea by permitting her to kill her child a necessary right?
8. Fear and anger. That’s akin to the mythical “fear” that Obamacare might succeed scares the GOP. Uhm. Who? Who!? Every single person on the right I’ve ever talked to fears it will screw up the country. This other thing is just plain made up.
9. More terror in Africa.
10. Evil.
11. Two hunger strikes.
12. Uhm, duh.

Well, Hi there.

1. Bees and a man.
2. Rape and India.
3. Microclimate accuracy and the global data sets. (not unrelated).
4. Facebook … or at least faces.
5. Worser and worser.
6. So, Christians think some guy is God. How’d (when?) did that occur.
7. A speech. Better than the highly partisan post shooting speech our knucklehead-in-chief gave.
8. Who to save (after Galois, Ramanujan, and Mosely)?
9. Evagrius. One of those whose writings prompted me to cross the Bosporus.
10. Risk and vocation.
11. Because we don’t care to bequeath to our children.
12. Oh, pshaw. Consider possibilities of Klein bottle  noodles. Eat your solitons … how about fried eggs shaped as Siefert surfaces.
13. And for a wrap … just hush.

G’day

1. Belorus hard man and age defeats youth.
2. The exceptionalism gambit turned.
3. And that same essay through other eyes.
4. Criminals and crime.
5. Speaking of which, … how about in verse?
6. Memory and charity. Our parish had a memorial liturgy to remember.
7. Acting ability noted.
8. That’s a request that should be ignored.
9. Another version of realpolitik.
10. Gas methods

Woo. Three days in a row … and three and a half weeks to go and busy busy busy season might be over (except for the clean up).

1. Guns and the racist race baiting left.
2. Here’s a likely suggestion (with material to back it up) … the biggest NSA problem has been journalists and the FISA court judiciary. Another question that came to me is if NSA has cracked https … banking is not secure … and how much money has been stolen?
3. On the other hand, there is likely good fallout from the NSA kerfuffle, to whit codes are always easier for the code users than the breaker from a computability standpoint. Piss off the crypto-crowd and the encoding standards will be computationally safe in the next round.
4. ’cause there’s no there there, allegedly … but if that’s the case, why hide?
5. The way of winning that was left to non-sprinters like me, but rarely ever got … ’cause I sort of sucked.
6. Three words and the pretty much empty set of people who know the meaning of all three (I was not one of those who knew those words, btw).
7. Philosophy.
8. Teuthidian tech.
9. Mr Obama’s speech summed up from the left.
10. A question raised by the same.
11. Explaining the non-existence of philosophers teaching ethics.

2. Truth to power, 4th century style.
3. Racism and hate crimes.
4. Grist for the abortion debate.
5. A good idea noted in the sporting world.
6. How did it happen? Elysium suggests lax immigration policies … although factors leading to the fall of the two parent household and the rise in divorce figure greatly.
7. Syrian notes from the guy who predicted the Russian response several days before it happened.
8. A dog with a drinking problem. Glub glub.
9. Some damn fine sports reporting.
10. Of interest.
11. For the Biden home defense network.
12. Infrastructure spending.

A week in the middle … the last few weeks big push is over … and I’m in cleanup mode for traveling to Alabama next week and the next push.

1. Jesus’ maternal grandparents noted.
2. Badum, bing.
3. I’m missing where this is a problem.
4. This is not unrelated.
5. Zombies and brainz.

9. The last frame is the kicker.
10. A teaching method with results.
11. A question, the answer … ambition.
12. A question regarding  Syria.
13. A protestant (I think) sees an Eastern Paschal celebration.

15. Israel not the only frakking country in the Middle East either.

G’day

1. Some Olde English history.
2. How to ride heroically.
3. Angry parent doesn’t think about what they are doing.
4. Biological diversity and human ability.

6. Frodo for President.
7. Amuzing.
8. STEM shortage.
9. Who is at fault?
10. Yikes.
11. Limited liability means what?
12. And why is this not completely obvious?
13. One reason why not to bomb Syria.

Links?

1. Recounting Mr Obama’s shifting sands and the Middle East. Even if you don’t know what we should vis a vis Egypt and Syria, what we did do remains amazingly stupid.
2. Speaking of Syria … somebody needs to update their RSS/news feeds, ’cause that criteria touches not a single comment on the matter that I’ve read anywhere.
3. Oh, welcome back Mr Schraub … even if you abandon the Constitution in the name of defending it. A fourth of the colonies at the time of ratification felt that “Freedom” meant the authority to make local decisions about how to order their life (reference, “New England folkway and the section on “Freedom ways” in Abion’s Seed by David Hackett Fisher). My guess is that Mr Schraub knew that because he has a keen interest in American political history, so he has to have read that seminal book. It seems incoherent to argue that what is meant by freedom held by a quarter of the founding population is actually not Constitutional.
4. Slick gun tech.
5. For your failing memory, future promise.
6. Killing “to make a statement” seems on its face unethical. Yes or no?
7. Epic fantasy ranked. I’d move #3 up … possibly to the top. I’d move down #4 … don’t know how far. #17 shouldn’t even be on the list, it was so bad.
8. Uh, what the heck?!
9. This not news, guy works at spy agencies … and, erhm, spies.
10. That. Is. Amazing.
11. Discussing racism.
