Good morning.

10. Reset relations?
11. Cuteness, here and here, but not so much here.
12. A really really long winded way of saying, none (which isn’t to day the arguments given were not bad … but the question was sidestepped).
13. Modernity … stealing your Yoga when you’re not looking.

Good morning. Short list.

1. Dogs and the court.

4. TARP.
5. Credit crunching.
6. More pictures of that unpronounceable volcano.

Good, err, day.

1. A cycling chick. Cycling? How?
2. UK NHS.
3. Prince Charles … and the Holy Mountain?
4. April 18 some years back.
5. A suggestion. Duh. Yet, that notion will take decades to sink in at the beltway.
6. Of India and Maoists.
7. A reading list. Suggestions … or what would you read?
8. Public finance.
9. Somebody misses obvious use of irony … and calls it “dumber”. Yes it’s dumb to not notice irony when its being used.
10. Ride a bike, ride a bike, ride a bike … and racing with handicap.
11. A book suggested.
12. Integration.
13. Eruption, pictures here and here and here.

10. Five myths regarding the abuse scandal and the Roman church.
11. Making Maxwell symmetric.
12. The Democrats, just pretend this doesn’t happen.

14. Mr Clinton characterizes the current Administration.

Good morning.

1. Huh!?

12. Somebody noticed the CBO “scoring” is less than useful.
13. Technology, economics and fantasy fiction. 
14. While we do not “owe anything to the founding fathers” in a literal sense, political philosopher Bertrand de Jouvenel would argue that their authority is the basis of our state.
15. Tax game. An answer to make me shudder would be the salaries, pensions, and benefits of those ‘elected’ morons residing in the beltway and their staff. To make me smile try the Tevatron and … hmm … well, I’m still thinking about it.

Good morning.

1. Healthcare, some glitches. Doctor shortages and a slight mistake/misreading.

4. One reason why that is so … life is good -> see?
5. Coming together.
6. Mothers day (today!).
7. Being conservative, although citing 1950s isn’t helping the argument, that was over 2 generations ago.
8. A street not named desire.

2. Memory eternal .. in Poland, here and here.
3. Monkabee #2, heh.

3. Shooting’s too good for ’em.

6. 47% pay no federal taxes?
7. Animals without oxygen.
8. More on the Obama assassination kerfuffle.

3. Islamic extremism, apparently, doesn’t exist.
4. More Democratic fantasies … see the second paragraph here (and read the rest too).
5. Zipping around the globe.
6. Putin in Poland mentions Katyn. I’m not sure that approach will sit well with the Poles. More here.
7. Hope and change vs reality. Well, it is a change, after all Bush didn’t implement the plan … Mr Obama did.
8. Never is a hard thing justify, i.e., let’s suggest a situation where the wife is in the process of beating her husband is he justified in striking back in defense?
9. Or another advertising plug for SWA.
10. Getting out and marching (for Christ and the Cross).
11. Theodicy.
12. For myself, I think a Amendment prohibiting the Feds (or States for that matter) from entering actuarial enterprises would be best. New Orleans is a prime example of why
13. In the past, I’ve tried to identify the difference between Liberal/Progressives, Conservatives, and Libertarians as a different ordering of the importance of Equality, Happiness, and Liberty, wherein each group puts the corresponding facet as the primary goal of government as primary. Here is a suggestion it is a different perspective on costs for the latter group.

Good morning.

2. Pascha in Iraq.
3. One atheist and the empty tomb.

12. Yer not qualified.
13. Unpaid interns and Mr Obama.
14. Fine tuned qualification lists.

5. BSG, btw I’m just about finished with season 2.
6. A in race bike change done, well, just about perfectly.
7. Burning Judas.
8. Shifting standards, from a prior comment, “The threshold inquiry has to be the perspective of the women themselves, in their diverse circumstances, rather than imposing our perspective from up on high (and one size fits all).” So, the threshold inquiry about “maverick” status has to be from the perspective of Mr McCain himself, not imposing our perspective from on high (and one size fits all)?
9. Apparently at home moms are jobless.
