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

Grading on a curve: Law Prof Volokh defends the idea. My opinion? It depends.

We are importing teachers from the Phillipines to fill the need. News to me. Don't we need more leaf-blowing professionals? PoliPundit

The US matters to the UN, but the UN doesn't matter to the US. Brown stepped in it. Arrogant Soros ass-kissing jerk. Belmont

Tom DeLay gave a fine good-bye speech. I still don't know whether he did anything wrong. Lib Leanings

Read this yet? You probably did. Scott Ott: Dems determined to fight on despite Zarquawi Loss

That frame around the Zarquawi photo really bothered me. Huh? What a moron. RTLC. Perhaps a different frame? Gold, but with some red highlights to pick up the color of the blood on the bastard's face?

Dutch Poll: Islam not compatible with European civilization. Finally. Allah

The big lie of the Senate Immigration Bill. VDARE

Why are we importing teachers? I know some unemployed teachers, who are doing manual labor to support their families. Excellent handymen, but WTF? I guess we live in the wrong place?

Brown is a mini-me Soros - ignore him. He is another internationalist, on Soros' payroll and literally on his NY plantation - it's a very nice place, in Bedford. I know the place. I ride horses though his trails.
