A random though, in light of all the of gun control authoritarian folks trying to exploit the sad VT story: Why don't we ban destructive books too? And blogs? After all, the pen is mightier than the sword, isn't it? Screw our Constitution, right?
Biggest ignored story by the MSM of the week: I found Saddam's WMD Bunkers.
Rutgers basketball team refuses to continue to be poster children for victimization. Good for them. They had already milked it enough. Time to regain some dignity and pride.
Spanish company makes more profits selling carbon credits than their products. Small Dead Baby Polar Bears. Time for me to build a virtual factory, with abundant virtual carbon pollution. Like farmers making money for not farming.
Brains made of toilet paper. Less well-endowed high school gals used to stuff kleenex into their bras, but they never stuffed toilet paper into their skulls. Cheryl Crowe wants to reduce use of toilet paper. Ahem. She is missing three basic facts: 1) Paper comes from tree farms, 2) Trees in the northern hemisphere appear to be worsening the terrifying global warming crisis which is causing me to lose sleep, and 3) Why does anyone (including me) listen to her at all?
Legal: Does it make sense to criminalize "agency costs"? Bainbridge. I doubt it, or people will not be willing to run companies. It's not an easy job, and requires a remarkable combination of talents.
The New York Times is headed for big trouble. I don't want the company to die. I want it to change. But I think they would rather die than change. Newspapers are not in trouble. Left-wing newspapers with bias on the front page are in trouble.
Mullah on women: Women who are badly veiled are like buses: Anyone may ride them. Equally nutty: Moslems do not permit mixing tomatoes with cucumbers. Talk about filthy minds - who would have thought of that? Sheesh.
Chavez' unique anti-crime plan. Unbelievable. NB: Venezuelans have been disarmed by gun control. Except their criminals, that is.
Was Cho taught to hate? Never Yet Melted. It's an interesting take on the story.
More on hatred. Good piece at Flares. If you are handed political power, do you really want to devote it to hatred? Is that wise?
Lieberman slams Harry Reid. Blue Crab. It seems to me that the US is "losing the war" only by a very strange definition. We are killing the terrorists, but the terrorists are only killing their fellow countrymen now, and not us.
Mayor Bloomberg said this:
"Using economics to influence public behavior is something this country is built on," he declared. "It's called capitalism."
Huh? Excuse me? We are "built upon" government power? WTH? I thought Bloomberg was a smart guy. Piece at Driscoll. I thought we were built on the idea that government power was a bad thing. Somebody needs to re-educate our Revolutionary dead, I guess. And the Mayor, too: If you're so rich, how come you ain't smart?
