If the Supreme Court could decide that a “living constitution” reflected the failures of laissez-faire capitalism in the 1930s, which is what we’re told it did, then why can’t it decide that a living constitution must recognize the failures of big government in the 21st Century?

You Lefties know the answer.

Remember all those morons who went around shouting "Global warming is dead!" after ClimateGate I and II?

"Alert! World on the verge of chocolate crisis"

QUOTE:

However the main cacao-producing regions are West Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, all areas vulnerable to threats of climate change, political instability, pests and diseases.

That's probably the 1,000th time I've read almost exactly that same sentence since ClimateGate.

Somebody please tell that twit writing over at SALON that the style of attack about which he is complaining began with the liberals--it was called WATERGATE!

Remember that "Huntsman" crowd in Utah? D'ya think this guy is related?

Of course, given your location down there you might be interested in the guy who actually won a five year term as Pres of UW:

That was after Huntsman had been "interim". Huntsman now is here (it's a little hard to open, but stay calm):

And the tie that binds you might ask (or is it a near cousin)? How about the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma and their intimate family relationship with the Chinese?

friesians?

I'll have a natural American horse, or nothing at all.

wirraway ... Sorry. I have to disagree about those Friesian horses, which are simply gorgeous. They have wonderful high-stepping natural gaits and beautiful conformation. After my usual spring orgy of watching the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont, I'm comparing the Friesians, with sturdy legs rather like the Morgans my grandmother's father used to breed, with the matchstick legs of the thoroughbred race horses. Much as I love to watch racing, I hate to see a race horse damaged, and it happens far too often. I've watched polo games often at the Santa Barbara Polo grounds, and the ponies also suffer from frequent damage, in fact one pony died during a chukkar as we all watched -- just dropped suddenly like a stone and had to be cleared off by a horse ambulance.
So I can't help but love the beautiful Friesians. As an orchid hybridizer, I'm wondering about how the Friesians are so interbred that there can be a whole herd of them, all black. That suggests what we call in orchids "crossbacks" which can give consistency of color but also increase the various weaknesses. Can any of the maggiesfarmers or commenters tell me more about Friesian breeding?

I was just fondly remembering my yellow quarterhorse, Regret. just an ordinary trail horse, he'd go anywhere, do anything asked: team penning, broom polo, daylong rides, got us out of quicksand once, indulged my ill-considered attempts to impress a woman by fording a flooded stream, let me play Philippine Scout. he also hated zebras and elephants.

Apropos us fatties damaging the planet, I beg to differ.
We humans blessed with adjustable avoirdupois are not randomly distributed about the planet. We are distributed so as to correct for the wobble in earth's rotation, just in time to prevent the next ice age, which you hyper-isomassive people would have caused.
You can thank us later, after brunch.

Say I am a cocoa farmer able to grow only so many acres. A 25% shortage is probably going to mean a 100% rise in the value of my crop. Tell me again why I want to increase the supply?
