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.

    The Boston Globe Caught Again with Pants Down

    Predictable but appalling hypocrisy from the Boston Globe, neatly presented by Volokh. Offense to Moslems is apparently qualitatively different from offense to Christians, probably because many Christians are uncomfortable with abortion, family-oriented, and conservative in temperament, while Islam is surely the true Religion of Peace as the news proves daily (plus Christians are tame, and don't make a big fuss). The subject was not missed by the ever-vigilant Squaring the Boston Globe. The only reason to look at these papers is to identify their most recent hypocrisies, logical fallacies, and propaganda. Good sport, now that hunting season has ended.

    This is reminiscent of the NYT's recent advocacy of the filibuster, while having presented many editorials in the past urging its elimination. How unprincipled, opportunistic, and reflexively anti-US culture can these newspapers be? Talk about offensive! Who wants to pay money for such abuse of our intelligence?
