  1. This is a really interesting piece, nominally on chess, but likely having lots of interesting wider implications.
  2. Adults and YA fiction.
  3. Hmm.
  4. Internet and freedom.
  5. NASCAR and minority crap, err, lawsuits … not what you’d expect. But in retrospect, exactly what you’d expect from the racism implicit in the progressive movement.
  6. Politics and Mr Obama’s “going after the financial sector.”
  7. Trying to buy votes.
  8. Moving words around.
  9. PC speech crap.
  10. A book highly recommended.
  11. Handling Mr Stewart (and how).
  12. Perhaps bloggers have to fill the gap.

  1. Hamas and Hegel.
  2. Hmm, looking (especially at the final paragraphs) at this, I think author believes that … and I don’t think it’s correct, for example I don’t think there was any possibility of “market friendly” reforms and the bill that was passed was anything but “moderate and bipartisan in everything but name.” How does someone come around to thinking that way? (a reply here)
  3. Unhappy about free speech. Here’s the salient question those M/F backers won’t answer. More here.
  4. Orwell as setting the political goals of the left.
  5. Killin’s too good for him.
  6. Hummus, although not in preparation for the upcoming Lenten fast.
  7. Giving Mr Obama his due.
  8. Germany (apparently) takes parenting seriously … even if the blogger noting it does not.
  9. Nubrella.
  10. Well, that’s very very cute.
  11. Just wrong.
  12. Prester John.
  13. Words to inspire.
  14. Post election satire.
  15. Pseudo-science.
  16. While I was originally going to try a hope/change sarcastic remark in response to this, I think this is better. If you (unlike me) assume Mr Obama is intelligent, earnest, and of high moral quality and he thinks this is the right (and ethical) thing to do … how do you figure he comes by that conclusion?

  1. Scotland, the Buckfast scourge (?), and monks.
  2. Islam and Christian relations in the 19th century (one example).
  3. I’ve been in the Huxley “camp” for some time, how about you?
  4. Waiting for NSS, which one expects will be more fruitful than Godot (in that it will eventually come).
  5. Tax on tax.
  6. Ant-walking alligators … a ghastly notion.
  7. Weep.
  8. Standards for girls.
  9. Sueussian rhyme.
  10. Min wage and employment (and some remarks on UI too).
  11. On a need for statemen, I think right now however left and right have a very different idea of what an ideal statesmen might be, the left looking more for a super-policy-wonk and the right for a Lincoln or Washington (a person with integrity and vision).
  12. I’ve a question for anyone who thinks this is problematic … what would be your reaction to a secular (say FSM) “Easter egg” in a similar situation.

  5. Heh.

  10. Demographics and Russia.
  11. If you, like me, have questions about charitable organizations like the Red Cross giving their top management big 6 figure salaries … here’s some that don’t.

  1. The bullet may still be ducked.
  2. One comparison.
  3. Is this a failure of hope/change or just a transparency transgression?
  4. Where are the public sinners?
  5. Dirt girls.
  6. So … is this news to Mr Krugman … or was he being dishonest?
  7. I’ve never understood the attraction of this sort of story.
  8. Dishonest (or at least bad) sociology noted.
  9. Lookin’ good or not?
  10. Now, I didn’t watch the video, but I’ve never liked that sort of question … I find them unanswerable, much to the frustration of my daughter(s) who can’t figure out why I can’t answer a simple question like, “What’s your favorite color.” This question seems in the same category.
  11. Epistemologically privileged information on Haiti and aid.
  12. “Scientism” recast.
  13. Blessing of the water.

  1. Cycling and specialization.
  2. Some old Hebrew text.
  3. Bad ideas, I’d argue however that dignity not rights are the location of the flaw.
  4. Ahead of the curve?
  5. Standing against the nanny state.
  6. Congress and healthcare and the question of Constitutionality. Of course it’s not Constitutional … but do you think they care?
  7. When cyclists run.
  8. Blogging and the truth to power theme.
  9. Climate, and a measurement making the rounds (another here). Say this is right, and the next 30 years are part of a global cooling trend … why or why not does that not affect AGW/GW’s plausibility?
  10. It remains hard for politicians (and bloggers apparently) to admit that entitlements are the problem.
  11. A question, if you don’t believe race is a proper characterization of man … are you and can you be a racist? (Assuming that your beliefs translate properly to normative practice)

  1. A link for my youngest.
  2. I can’t speak for economists, but I think it’s a big part of why it is so easy for government agents to accept, i.e., it empowers them and excuses reaching for more power.
  3. Co-existence.
  4. Avatar as Eden.
  5. Belief and practice discussed. It seems to me that the idea that they are not connected is also wrong.
  6. When Dems say “smarter” …
  7. Quake.
  8. Same sex marriage.
  9. Marital advice.

  1. Downhill from here.
  2. A discussion of banks and credit.
  3. Factoring economic growth with AGW.
  4. Putting the finger firmly on what is not the problem, that is state entitlement obligations typically far outweigh their salary budget. A friend over break noted that NJ has a 10+ billion dollar budget deficit right now … total NJ state worker salaries are in the 3-4 billion range … so cutting them out completely will still leave a not inconsiderable deficit.
  5. Oops.
  6. Ugly practices.
  7. A Saint I regard very highly noted.
  8. On cognitive bias.
  9. Hope and change denied.
  10. Torture and Christian ethics symposium/roundup.

  1. Anger management and more.
  2. Well, those statistics mostly make sense if you consider that a grandmother from Iowa is just as big a threat as a foreign national from the Middle East. Of course when “they” figure that out, then they’ll jump to recruiting grandmothers from the heartland so profiling naturally is just stupid. And if you believe that ….
  3. Problems with measuring growth.
  4. Of art and work.
  5. Two against torture (and the right), here and here.
  6. A righteous leper.

  10. Mortgages and the state.
