Sign of Global Warming? Snapshot on right sent in from a reader in Camden, Maine, taken at the beach on Sunday morning.
Adios to Freedom, Venezuela. You will soon be Cuba South. Blue Crab
Yes, this is surreal. SDA. Pedophilia support in Canada. I guess it's a "life-style choice" like necrophilia and all those other philias.
The quiet civil war in Spain. Am Thinker. Why not just give the Basques their freedom? What would that hurt?
Minimum wage. Easy to demagogue, but a dumb idea. Cramer explains. But the real point, as we have said before, is that many union contracts are pegged to the MW.
Britain's Channel 4 lifts up the rock, and doesn't like what they find underneath. Moonbattery
The story of the Pig Races, here. (h/t, Gates of V)
This story reminds me of the time my apt. got robbed in NYC, westside of Manhattan, but when we found the guy in the bathroom, he had my Brooks Brothers suit on, but I had a brand-new ice axe in my hands, and an annoyed attitude. Will tell the story sometime.
Red-blooded American defiance from Classical Values:
In a great post last week, M. Simon recognized how the Drug War helped facilitate the corruption so obviously apparent in the Duke University "rape" case. A common thread is popular hysteria, in which feelings are more important than freedom or facts. It's more important to win the drug war or stop cultural racism than to be concerned with trifles, and if the rules (or the Constitution) have to be bent or disregarded, so be it. Aren't we forgetting that under our system, certain principles are more important than facts? That if the police lied to get a warrant, it does not matter whether drugs were found? That even if a certain student displays evidence of racism (or a dislike of homosexuals), that does not make him guilty of rape?
I'd rather keep my freedom, even if it's 70 degrees outside.
There. I just said it. I'm prepared to face a Nuremberg tribunal for Holocaust advocacy.
