11. Biking pic of the day, do you vote (A) or (B) or (C)?
12. Corruption of blood? Huh? You know when you start out saying ” I admit I have a hard time putting myself in the shoes …” making stuff up doesn’t help.
13. Could there possibly be collusion between big media and the administration to protect government owned industries?
14. Climate trends.
15. Loser letters.

Good morning.

1. Hmm, wishful thinking? That is, “that mass killings are remembered by history is a critical factor in deterring or enabling future perpetrators for enacting similar atrocities.” Cite? Evidence? Furthermore evidence that a “house bill” will have anything to do with “how anything is remembered” is to assume an inflated view of the effect of symbolic legislative actions (hint: nobody notices nor cares). More here.

Good morning.

1. Climate change, part of the problem with the AGW proponents, is that cold weather is never evidence of climate change, as it gets the response, “climate is not weather.” What’s the problem with that, well, the problem is that every example of warmer weather is in fact used as evidence for climate change.
2. Not unrelated to the above.

4. Talking tea.
5. Faith and illness.
6. When he says “sexy”, I don’t think that word means what he seems to think it does. 😀

6. Considering the deacon.
7. A 1600 y/old joke book from Eastern Rome.
8. Cool, Mr Kuznicki is blogging a the Ordinary Gentlemen … although he’s started with (at least) one error in his post. The most recognisable Levitical verse is “love thy neighbor.” 
9. Considering the topic of the last post, this post stands in stark disagreement with the last.

8. Mr Greenwald (attempts) to skewer the right on “small government.” This begs the question, the right gets to power and expands the power of government while making rhetorical gestures favoring downsizing federal power, the left gets to power and also expands the power of government while making rhetorical gestures favoring increasing federal power. If one is in favor of downsizing … which party do you choose?
9. CA vs Amazon.

11. Heh.
12. Ontology, subsidiarity and equality.

Good morning.

3. Heresy?
4. Clark Carleton on homosexuality and reorientation therapy from an Orthodox perspective.
5. Your progressive government’s latest outrage.
6. Fun in Russia.
7. The lure of Keynesian economics. “The government enacts a stupid policy doomed to failure. When the policy inevitably fails, the government swoops in to fix it by expanding its power. Repeat as needed.”
8. Porn and the church.

Good morning.

1. Anne Brontë, Plato, and St. John Climacus … considered together.
2. Why and Lent.
3. Stimulus claims considered (by a supporter).

5. Best seller.
6. Congress shirking … which brings to my mind the question … the Senate similarly shirked its responsibilities enabling Julius Caesar to cross the Rubicon, might there be parallels in our future?
7. Obama and Marxism.
8. A cat and death.
9. A conundrum … the question is perhaps less about the kid but how to correct/sanction/fire his prior grammar teachers who passed him on at this point.
