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.

Wednesday Beer Time links

Howard Dean makes up his own theology. Everybody goes to heaven? That's not the deal, as I understand it.

Who told the Indians that Thanksgiving should be a time of mourning for them?

Can you believe that Newsweek did this? If they really want to sell magazines, they should just switch to real porn instead of political porn.

The rich are a pinata. Corner

Two links to Rick in one day? What's a little vote fraud among friends?

Vagina dentata. Sheesh. h/t, Vanderleun

The strange war on homework. Am. Thinker

The insane hatred of the Left towards Bush. Berkowitz in Opinion Journal. "You've got to be carefully taught," right?

Oil speculation has driven gas prices.

What is an "involuntary father"?  Whatever it is, should it pay child support? Dr. Helen

"Stewardship" of the people. Brits called upon to control their people more thoroughly. Moonbattery. This is totalitarianism, or monarchy, by bureaucrat, and Brussels is the new Versailles.

Boring comment (sorry), but I just had to relate a recent conversation with a good friend and wife of an Ivy League professor. We were walking with kids and dogs in the back field and I mentioned that hunting season would keep us out of the woods for the next few weeks, and the conversation drifted to hunting accidents. One of her children (he's 9, BTW) piped up, "Didn't VP Cheney have a hunting accident and shoot someone?"

We answered in the affirmative, then my friend added, "Too bad it wasn't Bush."

Her son then said, "Oh yeah. Then he would get arrested for killing someone and be executed."

I chose not to comment. What can you say? The hatred starts very very early.
