• The “no news conferences” meme and the unfortunate facts.
• Lots of book recommendations and reviews: Reading Scripture against the grain, on the person of Christ, the way of the barbarian, the last pagan, and a three-fer.
• Frank is back, having read the three books has dropped the “he didn’t write it” notion but … has decided he “deeply dislikes and distrusts Barack Obama” and tells why or for the short version, a one sentence summation of Mr Obama.
• Global temperatures graphed, if that trend continues for a few more years, global warming will perhaps be off the table. One wonders if the greens will be requesting increased CO2 production to counter global cooling?

• Are Democrats to blame? My take is that they are both to blame. The Dems for pushing for relaxed lending standards, the GOP for holding the line on limited regulation (which in itself isn’t bad) but when you couple reduced regulation with no reduction in liability … that way lies disaster, recall the SNL crises, which was exactly a release of regulation but not liabillity.
