Good morning.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Our (non-)\u00a0reality based state department<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Yes, even granting the premise, the\u00a0conclusion is not warranted<\/a>. “Reduce civilian casualties” is not the goal of combat, or at least in the short term. Most of the operations that drones are used are COIN operations … there may be a place for drones in a good COIN campaign … but it’s not as obvious as you would suspect I deem. What reduces casualties the most is the end of conflict … which may or not be helped by drones vs not-drones.<\/li>\n
  3. On\u00a0getting started<\/a> …<\/li>\n
  4. On the other hand<\/a>, some kids (one of mine for example) really do suffer from real mental illnesses, i.e., depression. When you have a fifth grade kid who won’t get out of bed or do anything because of malaise and no inducement of any sort will even pique here interest … something is wrong and it’s not merely spanking.<\/li>\n
  5. The Olympics and\u00a0other metrics for medal counting<\/a>. Go Grenada!<\/li>\n
  6. Pythagorean records<\/a>? Huh? Never heard of it.<\/li>\n
  7. Mr Rajan moving\u00a0into the hot seat<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. An\u00a0abortion doctor slips<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  9. Ms Althouse wonders how much you bench press,\u00a0or something like that<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  10. Hand\u00a0drawn<\/a>!<\/li>\n
  11. So, a\u00a0Christian terrorist<\/a> … but wouldn’t that need to involve Christianity in some actual manner for the adjective to apply?<\/li>\n
  12. Remembrance\u00a0of the Great War<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  13. So, “we have to do some soul searching” … what do\u00a0you got for that<\/a>? Does that make any sense to you?<\/li>\n
  14. Nope<\/a>. No voter fraud ever. At all. Nada. Got nothing.<\/li>\n
  15. Bike tech\u00a0on Mars<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  16. GM, our administration’s make-it-up-as-you-go-along bankruptcy plan\u00a0and\u00a0unintended\u00a0consequences<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
