Good morning.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Two books to note, one from here on a\u00a0mix of faith and humor from Moscow<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. And for fans of\u00a0Sewer, Gas and Electric<\/a> … Matt Ruff has a new book. So get it and read it.<\/li>\n
  3. About that “worst case” Iran \u00a0straw man scenario<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. When you believe spending and income need not match … and\u00a0people get too used to sucking on the government teat<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Either they (requiring viewing ultrasounds and requiring Catholic hospitals provide free contraception)\u00a0are both totalitarian or neither are<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Speaking of which, an\u00a0atheist libertarian is not impressed<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  7. Speaking of that topic,\u00a0Mr Obama’s so-called compromise<\/a>. Frankly, calling that a compromise is an outright lie.<\/li>\n
  8. Also see this pdf,\u00a0on this topic <\/a>you’ll see the left whacking lots of straw men in this kerfuffle. That pdf links to some actual arguments, which alas you will not see mentioned by any Congressional or White House defense of their policy.<\/li>\n
  9. Al Qaeda\u00a0merger<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  10. Suicide\u00a0and legality<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  11. Of big “O”\u00a0and calculus<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  12. To avoid spoilage<\/a>? Hmm. One recipe for great bacon is to take frozen bacon, fry it directly without thawing on a very low heat for a long time until crisp. It will melt in your mouth (hint: this is a good thing taste-wise).<\/li>\n
  13. Bike tricks<\/a> (done by the bike not so much by the rider).<\/li>\n
  14. Waterboarding\u00a0and Mr Washington<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  15. Are the tea party and ows the nucleus of\u00a0something that will emerge in decades<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  16. Lots of links to this,\u00a0Himalayan non-warming<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  17. Our future in\u00a0adventures in state medicine<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  18. Not\u00a0likely<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  19. And it’s\u00a0a bad thing<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  20. What\u00a0is tradition<\/a>? (hint: not just a song in Fiddler).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
