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.

    Saturday morning links

    There is a musical called Menopause


    Who Owns the Copyright to "Happy Birthday"?


    Middle age now lasts until 74 as baby boomers refuse to grow old - Old age does not begin until 74, researchers suggest in a new report which looks at the real impact of an aging population


    It's true. It's not just health and medical advances, it's attitude too. Who rarely retires until incapacitated? Farmers, carpenters, surgeons and most other docs, small biz-owners, people with family businesses - you name it. Most government-employed people like cops and firemen go on to new careers, as do ex-military. Some people are quitters, and some are workers. "Retirement" itself is a modern, decadent, government concept.


    Do You Know the World’s Largest City?


    School blames ‘poor lighting’ for paltry Michelle O lunch


    Sheesh. Worse than jail food.


    Mexican food is insensitive


    Well, I don't know about insenstive but it's not very good, altho fun once in a while. Really just a side dish for Margueritas and beer. Beer, of course, is insensitive to Germans so we must be careful about that too.


    I Thought Legalizing Pot Would Be a Disaster. But It Turned Out To Be Wonderful.


    Smoking and Vaping Keep Moving in Opposite Directions Among Teenagers


    New York Times Op-Ed: It Was a Mistake to Believe the Hockey Stick


    So yes, I know exactly what it would take to convince me that catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is really happening. And no, the warmists haven’t even come close.


    Who cares?


    SECOND AMENDMENT: Ted Cruz Throws Down


    Leftwing Website Commits Crimethink, Begs Leftwing Mob for Mercy


    The Greek Complexity Problem


    Nails it



    Hillary! news summary, for fun:


    Hillary Clinton’s Uterus For President!


    Hillary Embraces Disastrous Biofuel Policy


    Hillary Clinton Has a Long History of Talking With Plants


    Hillary Clinton, an inauthenticity you just can’t fake


    Krauthammer:  Hillary’s Authentic Inauthenticity:





    She doesn’t just get media coverage; she gets meta-coverage. The staging
    is so obvious that actual events disappear. The story is their
    symbolism — campaign as semiotics.


    Hillary’s Attempt at an Elizabeth Warren Impression Isn’t Going Well


    Hillary Clinton Re-emerges, by Design


    Hillary Potemkin Clinton busted for driving in Dem campaign worker to pose as 'student' at staged event
