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.

i watched his presser today, and, by golly, we were wrong about him --we never gave him a chance. Oh, maybe he could've explained it better, even HE admitted that. But, WE are the problem. We're greedy and self-centered and impatient, not too mention too stupid to understand that about ourselves.

God, i hate us.

I read Donald Brown's rant. It sure read like a blog entry at realclimate.

Hyperbolic in tone, lack of references to support claims, and doing exactly what you're criticizing your opponents as doing.

Wow, is that what gets you a tenure-track seat in ethics these days? One more piece of the higher-ed bubble.

Charles mostly gets it right but drops the ball before he makes the goal this time.

Man of the left Obama has pretended to be a man of the center.

That's how he fooled the centrists to push his vote count over the top in "08.

Come on, Charlie.
