Weather: Arctic freezes in record time. New study: No man-made global warming. And read the Open Letter to the UN re the IPCC. All dissent was prohibited. Meanwhile, Repubs want to get on the warming issue to look virtuous. I guess it's all about posing, isn't it?

Jonah Goldberg at UMass:

YALE'S REALLY RICH. TOM SMITH OBSERVES: "I have thought of asking Yale to stop writing and asking me for money. But why should I? I like getting the letters. They fill me with a kind of awe. They remind me that greatness comes to those who dare to ask for more than anyone can possibly think they deserve. They fascinate me. What can they possibly say to make me think I should send what $50, $100? to the people who are making 28% a year on $22.5 Billion? They say they need the money, which cannot be true, except in the sense of me and the beggar. I am astonished."
