Good morning.

3. A left handed defense of Mr Bloom.
4. Stirring up fear.
5. Soteriology and praxis.
6. Debt and growth.
7. A challenge for the Keynsian.
8. Nuclear weapons and the Administration.
9. On Market … hey, that gives me an idea … when businesses fail they cease to exist, maybe we should have a policy of “failing” and terminating, say, three government agencies every year based on their effectiveness.
10. This is not unrelated to the above.
11. Hmm, I don’t think I’ve heard a dumber idea in a long time.

Good morning.

1. Morning … in photo.
2. A response to a liberal charge of bigotry.
3. Problems with the standard story on Hiroshima.
4. Uhm, they need to add the “new” adjective to that post. For example, I bought a used Insight and economy wise I think I did pretty good compared to that Mercedes, e.g., driving from Chicago to Atlanta on less than 10 gallons of gas.
5. Zapp.
6. Ethnicity and church.
7. Climate.
8. An economic prescription for future growth and prosperity, which doesn’t involved more and more failing debt and stimulus.
9. A lawyer looks at case-law involving birthplace and citizenship.
10. Laffer curve and a poll (for myself I think the guy whose link I followed to get there was right).
11. The descent of cute.
12. Euro debt.
13. On the Ryan thing, here and the related Krugman stupidity here.

Good morning.

1. Continuing to work through the meaning of the Transfiguration.
2. Sort of a better moustrap.
3. Mr Obama, losing the pretentious demographic? I don’t think so, to where else might they turn their stuck up noses?
4. Stopping that pesky terrestrial rotation.
5. Addiction.
6. The problem with objecting to zoning the basis of “its offensive” is that … it is indeed the rightful basis of zoning. We don’t have industrial warehouses and residential houses mixed for exactly that reason, not to speak of bars and schools.
7. Are you one of the lucky?
8. Of love and marriage.
9. A (non-religious) conversion noted.
10. Talking about English and Orthodoxy.

Well, mid-to-late morning (I’m running a bit late) … but have a good day nevertheless.

1. What those living in freedom don’t remember.
2. School days.
3. Taxi licenses and no good deed goes unpunished.

10. A photo essay from the Ukraine.
11. Mr Krugman and an argument applied now that was conveniently not present during the healthcare debate.
12. One of the leading evangelical atheist bloggers neatly skewered, although that seems to be a bit like shooting ducks in a barrel.
13. Of computer games and protein science.

Good morning.

1. Canine stuff and more here. Our new puppie, Sophie, is 3 months old today.
2. But puppy-cide? 
3. It seems to me this is a good argument against government involvement, as when rationing occurs, it seems “ability to pay” is one of the fairest ways of deciding who gets what instead of a lottery mixed with “who has political connections” with the party in power.
4. Crunch.
5. Zoooooom.
6. Stupid tourist tricks.
7. Up in the air.

9. A conversation continues.
10. Hmm, do you believe it? 
11. A picture/graph of interest.
12. Stupid Congress-critter tricks.
13. So does an asterisk come with that?
14. Two lawyers and that recent court/marriage thing, here and here.

6. Hacking apples.
7. Huh? What the heck does he mean by “we know more about it.” 
8. So, why are coal burning cars so popular?
9. Yikes (more here).
10. Cute packaging.
11. A life lived and choices made.
12. A quote from a time when sexual predilections where not bound with ontology.
13. In the media is completely out of touch department, royal wedding indeed.

Good morning.

1. A very cool photo-essay.
2. Fun with toys.
3. It sounds like the strategy is the same-as-it-ever-was, that is talk is cheap (and cheap is all you’ll get).
4. Obesity and cause.
5. A narrow view of plagarism.
6. In which the European/US “,” vs “.” transposition threw me for a loop momentarily.
7. Maintaining civilization.
8. Abortion and slavery, continued.
9. Transit tech. 
10. Given that climate claims rest on difficult statistical analysis … this might ring alarm bells. Unless of course, AGW advocates are up in arms rejecting those claims.
11. One the rule of law.

Good morning.

1. Democrats and anti-semitism.
2. Politics trumps truth in the Democratic world.

2. Summer couture and consequence, here and here.
3. Screening potential employees.
4. A birthday of sorts … and this is apropos.
5. Mr Limbaugh and the spill.
6. Stadium crowds.

8. Advice for Ms Sherrod.
9. What’s doing while doing time in Lithuania.
10. Democrats and the tea party.
11. Two essays on complex systems and contemporary politics, here and here.

Good morning.

1. A commercial hack?
2. The technology behind carbon fiber, not exactly explained.
3. Steward on the Sherrod kerfuffle.
4. Those leaks and a likely consequence.
5. NaCl and soteriology.
6. More NaCl here too.
7. Gallantry … a old fashioned notion, for which the revival of same would not be a bad thing.
8. Mr Kerry and his taxes.
9. Like a poll tax?
10. Kind or clever … and a question begged.
11. An argument for irresponsibility examined. I reject proposition (b).

Good morning.

1. Lithuania and demographics (linked from here).
2. Attention span problems? Advice here.

7. Elections in the land of the not very free at all.
8. I’ve seen liberals asking in numerous occasion, “How would the right react if there was a Black Tea Party movement.” How about, with strong affirmation?
9. Mixed signals in high school.
10. Savings … well, to be honest the current environment is sending a strong message not to save. Ever heard of low interest rates?
11. Obama lied? Say it ain’t so.
12. Discussing Academia.

Good morning.

1. Words on racism, with which I basically agree. Aff. action and other policies on racism support ontological racial distinctions … which is why they tend to support and reinforce that which they are trying to remove.
2. Where blogging is really political.
3. Flailing against “deeper than objective reason” and forgetting that most of life is like that. Your love for, well anything, but take your love for your beloved and/or your children. This is not a thing established by “objective reason.” Perhaps you don’t like the term “deeper” but that is something of shorthand for “more profound and basic.” This also connects with the piece on the Jewish discussion in which objective discussion disproved God, yet they prayed (calmly) on the way to immolation.
4. Weather without climate change hyperbole.
5. A film noted.
6. Ladies, I’m sorry but in real life it’s just not all that complicated.
7. Propane.
8. A girl and a map.
9. Ms Sherrod’s case reviewed.
10. Discussing Colonel Lynch’s solution to a vexing problem (which by the by had nothing at all to do with race relations).
11. Our new healthcare working for (or against) us.
12. Memory Eternal.
13. I’m not sure that would work for me … how about you?

Good morning.

6. A defense of Mr Gibson.
7. Discussing ordination.
8. The new anti-stimulus bill springs into action.
9. The reliability of journalists.
10. More on the recent canons from the Vatican here and here.

Good morning.

1. This jumped out at me, “Muslim “ideology…does not believe in a woman’s right to do anything.” … Uhm, I’m pretty sure nobody’s “ideology” believes that anybody has a right to do anything regardless of ontological category (gender, class, or whatever). For that matter, nobody thinks everybody has the same rights to do the same things either. 
2. Batman and dead languages.
3. Apathy (or more technically accidie) is winning.
4. On Mr Obama’s overwhelmingly unimpressive jurist nominee.
5. More hope and change for y’all.
6. The Sherrod lesson.
