Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Websites and colleges

Powerline is clearly a Dartmouth-oriented website. Nary a month goes by without their talking about their attachment to their beloved Alma Mater. Volokh has Dartmouth connections too.


I just learned that American Thinker, another essential site, is sort of a Kenyon College site. Both Lifson, Publisher, and Baehr, founder and "Chief Political Correspondent," are Kenyon guys.

Both my degrees are from State Us, so I wouldn't qualify.

Qualify for what? Having to resort to bragging to cover your insecurities?

The school does not make the individual anymore than a particular brand of clothing makes the person.

American Thinker is one of my 'must-read' sites every day, along with maggiesfarm.

Me too, Marianne. Also Drudge, Rasmussen and Instapundit. Then I check Huffington Post to see what the other side is saying. I used to check Daily Kos for the same reason, but it got too weird. Then I work.
