Skiing again in the morning. Okemo this time, and I am about to head up there for the weekend. Not a particularly challenging mountain (a "family mountain" for sure), but closer, and with the loan of a friend's condo and today's snow, some good fun without expense. Sometimes I wish that fall, with hunting, and winter with skiing, could simply rotate all year. One more reason to welcome the coming global cooling.
Bad decision, I think. No weapons screening in Texas for Obama rally. Heck, we get searched at Dylan concerts, and these rallys are no different from rock concerts.
The Great Cholesterol Con. Health Beat. How come nobody told us that cholesterol didn't matter? (h/t, Kevin MD)
Pours her heart out: Dr. Sanity on Ivy League Populism and the Path to Power. Preach it, Dr. S! What it is!
Reminder to LA Times: Illegal immigration is against the law. I think that is why it is called illegal, as in "a government of laws, not men."
Versatile. The always-chic Kim du Toit covers the fashion scene with flair.
Raise somebody else's taxes to help Chad. I want my iPod.
"And you want to run my country?" Althouse. No evidence of executive competence thus far.
"Reveling in their biases" in schools of social work. (h/t, Minding the Campus)
Still hiding their incomes. Who? The Clintons, of course.
PressThink takes a thoughtful look at the NYT and the McCain content-less story. Makes ya wonder. Yes, The NYT is looking bad, again. I'd be embarassed to bring that "story" to my City Editor. My instinct tells me that the story was "ordered" from the top, and did not come from the guys on the ground. However, here's a real story that the NYT has not followed.
Similarly, a high school study is censored. Nowadays, if you censor information, it's all over the internet in 24 hrs.
Is America ready for this dangerous left-winger? No, I don't mean McCain. Times Online. Also, the Messiah of the narcissistic Generation
More truth about Obama: His stance on gun rights. These lefties have absolutely no concept of the limits of government power which means, to me, no respect for the population. And what about this? Bernadette Dohrn?
America sucks and so does the military. That's really the story. It won't play in Peoria.
Did we mention this? The AP instructs on how to play the Fidel retirement story. OK, we all know that it's a happy country full of happy slaves, enjoying their "health care" while singing and dancing all day long, and never worrying their heads about politics at all. It probably is a paradise for the rulers, as long as they are sociopaths.
Back to Kindergarten. RW Prof advises Repubs to recognize that they are a coalition. Indeed. Otherwise we'd all be parties of one.
Feeling bad can be good for you. The miracle of melancholia. I guess I believe that the right amount of pain and heartache is good for us, but when do we get to say that we have had enough?
What happens when a Lefty wonders about global warming. Sheesh. Talk about Stalin.
