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 Links

Who was Winston Churchill? The UK doesn't think kids need to know. Or, more likely, doesn't want kids to know.

The 60-Second Climate Skeptic. Excellent summary, at Coyote.

Musharraf and Pakistan: He has a tough job.

Is is volunteering if they pay you to do it? Latest moonbattism from Massachusetts.

No connection at all between Islam and terrorism. Avoiding the M-word.  And Theo wants advice, hypothetical at the moment: Moslem  Presbyterian hordes are charging up your driveway to cut off your head. What small arm to you want?

And no Al Quaida in Iraq, either. Gateway

People should be banned. Samizdata

Dan Boudreux on Free Trade. Excellent brief summary.

The Beast of Basra, identified. Sounds similar to a Wolverine.

Update on gun and knife crime in the UK. (h/t, Free Market Fairy Tales) Perhaps it never occurred to them that criminals do not tend to obey laws.

RE: Churchill

Total Tranzi crap. "Imagine there's no countries...all the people living for today." New World Anthem.

Used to be God and Country. Now it will be Gaia and politically correct bowel movements.

Feh.
