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.

Tuesday Morning Links: Salt-free and fat-free, with extra sugar


Racial profiling begins in the UK. It's about time. If my sort of people were blowing things up, I would not mind a bit - it keeps everyone safer, including honest Moslems. Ace

Resurrecting the Wooly Mammoth. Always wanted a pet mammoth. And they would be the green way to get to work, except that the nether end of their GI tract probably produces more greenhouse gasses than the average Hummer. Darn those Indians for killing them off.

Gunther Grass admits his membership in the Waffen SS. "...before anti-semitism was fashionable," notes Glenn.

"Diversity" and the illiberal academy: good stuff. Protein. A quote:

True diversity, of course, is to be celebrated:

Better resurrecting a woolly mammoth than some narcissistic insider trader who has himself put on ice, the better to propagate his immoral genes....

Comment on profiling: "...it keeps everyone safer, including honest Moslems."

heh

The only problem with that perspective is that it's the "honest" Mohammedans (true, genuine, *real*—hence "honest"— followers of the life and teachings of The Butcher of Medina) who are the ones blowing things up!

Nah, I have no real problem with the "country club" (pretend, cultural) Muslims. It's the honest followers of Islam who are the problem.
