Maggie's Farm

I am sure that the Maggie's Farm gang is relieved that I am back from vacation, so they can ease up on the links. It has been boats, boats and more boats. Plus a year's worth of beer, lobster, cod, clams and oysters in one week: I eat little else when I am on the coast,  starting with cod-cakes for breakfast. It's the best: one day ketchup on them, the next day tartar sauce: cannot decide which I prefer.

Fish-cakes, broiled cod, fried cod, baked cod with Portuguese sauce...now I sound like Ishmael on Nantucket, where the milk tasted like codfish from the fishheads the cows ate.

Time to come home to the woods and to dig back into work. I don't mind that at all. Variety is the key, or the tartar sauce, to something.

I enjoyed that Yankee Attitude post from Barrister. Right on!

Bush stopped by Anbar yesterday. Right thing to do.

Should the government rescue fools? Attack machine

Sweden has unlimited charter schools. Interesting. Even lefty Cameron is thinking. Worstall.

Is anti-Americanism through in Europe? Neoneo

Have you read Cato #6 lately? h/t, Dumb Still Looks Free. Or Federal Farmer or Agrippa?

"Gun addiction" fears in Australia. Alphecca. Another disease I didn't know I had along with ADD, Asperger's, Beer Deficiency Disorder, and a few others.

Charter Schools blooming in New Orleans. CSM

The NYT just won't quit with the Haditha non-story. Democracy Project. After all, if the USA is not really the Evil Empire, they would have to re-think their entire view of the world - and that would be a hassle.
