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.

Friday Mornin' Links

The dihydrogen monoxide environmental crisis. This chemical can have a very serious impact on the environment.

Gee whiz, what happened to the Harvard logo on that paper about Israel?

Headline of the Week: (via Drudge): French Anarchists Riot over Job Security

Our neutral news media: Bush makes me sick.

The people will kill him if he is freed. As I said before, I want this guy at Yale.

Neither rain nor sleet...what? This dude is fine for military duty, but not for the Post Office. I guess the Post Office is extremely picky about who they hire...and, from the opposite end of the moral spectrum, marathoner jailed for false disability claims in UK.

Incredible photo, via Fark. Don't miss the crow.

Now it's California levees. Why permit people to live in idiotic places, if taxpayers have to support it? Why not make dangerous flood zones into wildlife sanctuaries, and be done with it?

Art News: Panda bear painted on a single hair. Nice for over the fireplace?

German Beer update, from Der Spiegel

"They were a really nice family."  Tennessee Pastor's wife suspect in killing of husband. Haven't I always said "Beware of "really nice" people"?
