G’day

1. Seems like a good thing.
2. Well, time is probably something they have on hand.
3. More things than are dreamed of in your books, perhaps.
4. Bravo.
5. Hey! That’s an old standard “dad” line.
6. Privacy or “market research”.
7. ad hoc gun show.
8. Number 6 is Mr Obama who appointed them, eh?
9. Alienated, young, and male.
10. To quoth the President a few days after the Benghazi incident “a shadowy figure behind the video sparked the attack” … “nothing new was learned” … yep. Nothing new, except that doesn’t mean what you think it means.
11. Mali watch.
12. Classical education and what that used to mean.

OK. Take a few

1. Colorado oversteps. Would local zoning laws do it?
2. All that sex talk makes Lucy a duller girl.
3. A set of odd wheels for bikes.
4. Devil(s) … impersonal or not?
5. Why? Maybe they were wearing swim suits not sweaters. More on that IRS thing here.
6. Touche.
7. Purple prose.
8. Great apes and swimming … and the resultant map.
9. Heh.
10. A mom reflects on mother’s day.
11. Losing the left on the Benghazi kerfuffle.
12. A good question, after all most of the research was supported by your taxes. And is arXIV sufficient to ameliorate the problem?
13. Famousness.

The White House talking point on Benghazi is that the hearings “told us nothing new”, which I think isn’t exactly what they were hoping for. You’d think that they would be wanting those hearings to exonerate them, instead of confirming what we already knew, i.e., that they were scoundrels.

G’day

1. One thing you don’t have to worry about shopping in the Midwestern ‘burbs.
2. Yah, that will work. So, does that mean the state department is completely ignorant of how difficult stopping a 2 megabyte zip file from being disseminated might be. I mean, why even bother. Setting aside the point that there is no actual reason for them to try to stop it in the first place.
3. Diversity and USC.
4. Modern atheism, likely flash in the demographic pan.
5. Modern reason takes a turn to the dark side. (in which dark implies ignorance and such)
6. Uhm, Ms Pelosi is grandstanding … let’s see “sequestration” is keeping a very very wealthy woman from “visiting the troops” … does that mean sequestration is keeping her from buying a plane ticket? Nope. Making phone calls? Nope. So how is sequestration stopping here. Answer,  Uhm, no … it’s not and … Ms Pelosi … you are flat out lying.
7. Impeachment. Although there is no reason to impeach Mr Obama … the Senate has Democratic majority, there is no point.
8. Fear the duck.
9. A danish writer of some renown compares Easter/Pascha celebrations in Rome and Greece.
10. Short answer, no.
11. A book list.
12. Used weather, dirt cheap.

Well, then …

1. A little honesty … to bad we don’t get more of that in politics.
2. Speaking about things needed in politics … we can dream, eh?
3. Space and fire.
4. About the WDML.
5. Spin backfires.
6. Actually it’s not a “game changer”. Zip guns have been around for a long time and this is just another zip gun.
7. And on that topic … you do realize there is no actual need to reinforce the notion that the left is completely ignorant when it comes to firearms.
8. Apparently Ms Clinton had an accurate accusation.
9. Fracking comes to Asia.
10. Well, duh.
11. Yikes.
12. Boots on the ground, costs, and performance … works for military performance and applies to lots of other things too.
13. A confession.

Yah, links?

1. Well, that’s to be expected. That arab “spring”  is a thing to behold.
2. Actually, I think the motive or at least the logic of “what did he want to achieve by that” is not very clear.
3. “The most callous thing” which means  Mr Biden completely lacks any imagination at all. Or has led an incredibly sheltered life to not realize that there are hundreds (thousands) of “more callous” things that man has done to man than that.
4. Girlfriend?
5. Doing the treadmill right.
6. Very very pretty. This too.
7. Archaeology underwater.
8. Pesky trends for the gun control = emergency crowd.
9. Where it’s not cold when it rains.
10. Apparently the “is not welcome” at Church is a recent lefty meme, alas … not true.
11. The Paschal (Easter) 2nd homily from the Russian patriarch (the first was the original by St John Chrysostom spoken at every Orthodox Paschal celebration for many many centuries … when something is done right … why change?).

Yo.

1. Progress isn’t always.
2. Fast has multiple meanings.
3. A bishop does good.
4. Heh.
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 …

1. Your tax dollars at work … OK. probably not your tax dollars but somebodies. Golly, gubmit sure is silly.
2. Ooh, surprise, taxes going up is the “hidden” plan.
3. Better than raising taxes any day of the week.
4. Which is another reason why not to do this.
5. A prediction made.
6. Another.
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.
5. Shale.
6. Not wrong. Christian. Jesus pointed out evil men love those who love them, love the man that hates you .. that’s a little more difficult.
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 …

izzat ’nuff?

Woo.

1. Yikes.
2. Keep on training.
3. Poetry so bad it has to be read to believed. (refer also to prior feed the beast suggestions).
4. Repugnance.
5. Women and the Greatest Generation (of).
6. Immigration and a 1k mile border fence … but not in the US.
7. Geesh. Please, can we stop listening to/hearing from this moron.
8. I was once in that place.
9. Russian Roulette considered.
10. Uhm. Wrong answer. Sex is determined by XX or XY pairings in chromosomes … you are not “neither” or “both” but one or the other, if you’re human.
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.
4. Mill on epistemology.
5. Whose interests indeed.
6. Gun control and how to (or not to) bargain.
7. Conversion experiences.
8. Demagogue, as if that were a bad thing. Oh, wait …
9. Freedom of association, something we don’t enjoy any more apparently.
10. Speaking of gun control, a survey of police officers and their views.

OK then.

So it goes.

1. Once allies, no longer?
2. For your inner cowboy. Or outer?
3. Texas, apparently jealous of Boston has to do “it” bigger. Somebody should tell them Texans that when it comes to bad things, bigger is not actually better.
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.

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?
