Does "fair trade" coffee do any good? Berndt at TCS doubts it. It's more of a "feel-good" deal.
Al Quaida in Lebanon. CSM. These guys say they will fight to the death of them all. More at Gateway. Meanwhile, the Taliban are having a tough go of it. It seems that the Brits killed all of their officers. Good show.
Snow in Colorado this week.
World CO2 emissions will grow 60% by 2030, and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it.
50% of Americans are pro-life, 45% pro-"choice." Those are interesting numbers. (h/t, News for Christians)
1/4 of American Moslem males would like to kill Americans. Of course, those are the numbers of those who will admit it. Contemplating that makes me uneasy around Moslems. The charted info is here. Maybe it's time to take a long hard look at our immigration policies...eh, Pres Bush?
Nobody told Mayor Mike that hybrids are worse for the environment, so he is going to mandate hybrid taxis. Damn the data - he "cares". Am I the only person who is sick of this sanctimonious guy? Yes, he runs the place, but does he have to "care" so much? It's not masculine. I am waiting for him to mandate rubbers when it rains.
When Reagan demolished RFK in debate. Like to see that video, but the Kennedys blocked its release.
Boehner applies bad language to the immigration bill. Somehow, I think he is not fully behind Bush on this one. And Senator Kyl not looking strong right now after pulling a fast one on Arizona voters. Surber. And let me say that I like Prof. Bainbridge a good deal, but I do not want him to preach the Good Samaritan parable to me in the context of immigration law: there's a word for that sort of argument. Eric has some interesting thoughts from Gingrich about immigration: he feels he was hoodwinked the last time he voted for reform. Not surprisingly, Bush's poll numbers crash whenever he brings up amnesty for illegal immigration. I'm glad he isn't poll-driven, but how far will he go to destroy his party?
News flash. Black kids from intact, religious families do best in school. LaShawn
Last week Illinois overwhelmingly rejected a state medical care proposal. This week, California overwhelmingly rejects "free" preschool. Is this a pattern?
The Nigerian Anglicans sending a mission to the US. The Nigerian Bishop's reply to the American Episcopal bishop is too funny.
More on how the greedy geezers soak us working stiffs. Viking. It is, indeed, the rich stealing from the poor.
Forcing lightbulb change is pathological. Thanks for saying so, Glenn.
The Palestinians are victims. Victims of the Arabs, who want nothing to do with them. Neoneo. There is a real bias against them in the Arab world. It's kinda funny that the only people who really try to help them are the Brits, the US, and Israel. They are in the "difficult to help" category.
