Maggie's FarmWe 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. |

Toon via Theo Thanks for the compliment, John But is Maggie's a "conservative" website? I think we're centrist. Speaking only for myself, in my link collections I just try to link info, events, and perspectives that the MSM tends to overlook or desires to insulate us from for their own political reasons. Perhaps "contrarian" would be a word. Speaking of contrarian, In Memoriam: Christopher Hitchens, 1949–2011 Average Home Sizes Around the World Maine update - My Time at Walmart: Why We Need Serious Welfare Reform She's wrong, I think. Rich or poor, there will always be rotten people who work any system and use any system for freebies. Shame on them all, whether Welfare Queens, lazy jerks with aching backs, or Jon Corzines.

World's Ugliest Public Art Are Hollywood Stars Enabling Sexual Predators By Not Naming Names? Act of Valor- a movie you must see How to destroy tourism in Egypt That Graduation-Rate Nonsense Strikes Again I'm not too smart, but it seems to me obvious that, in general, the higher your graduation rates, the lower your expectations, rigor, and demands. Let's face it: Big Education is an industry, and they need to please the buyers. If expectations are too high, buyers will go elsewhere. Does your kid's school require second year calc? Latin? Stats? Plato? If not, it's expensive babysitting. I would have more faith in the integrity and standards of programs with substantial wash-out rates. As an example, it's damn tough to get into the US Navy SEALs program (eg 100 push-ups in a minute) - and they still have an 80% washout rate. Thus graduation has a meaning. Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos to Usher In Devastating Anti-Semitic Pogrom Gotta keep an eye on those doggone evil Christians Why I Stopped Giving to Duke UK update: Rising tuition fees force students into sex work, says students' union (h/t, Capt.

Between the EPA, Obamacare, and some other things, people are getting nervous about Federal aspirations for control and command. The average red-blooded American person does not desire a Philosopher-King, but wants to be King of his own life - for better or worse. We do not want to be babied European serfs.

Tuesday, December 13. 2011Am I Better Off Today?Today, Yahoo! asked if I am I better off than my parents? Do I have more opportunity and a better life overall? These are questions that politicians will be asking the next few months. They are questions pundits continually ask. But posing these questions doesn't really inform us. Depending on how I define 'better off', I could reply yes or no to both questions. If all I did was pay attention to the broad statistics and ignore my personal situation, then no. I should join OWS and complain incessantly. Am I earning more in real terms than my father at a similar age? No. I do have much more saved for retirement, but at my age my father was finishing putting two boys through college, and looking to pay for three more children. He had a larger home and a nicer car, and he went on some very nice vacations (sometimes with us, usually without). The problem is, no matter how well off he was, his life is not mine. I can't compare how well I'm doing to him, because we entered very different professions and made very different choices. Do I feel better off? Yes. Do I live very well? Yes. So whether I am better off or not is a vague question. It is not dependent purely on statistics. Answering the two original questions will beg other questions rather than providing a concrete response. After all, we tend to have very short memories about our situations and how we've progressed.

Tuesday morning linksStarted thinking about Christmas shopping yet? I began to think about thinking about it last night. At the Farm, the immediate blood-related BD family (my two parents with five kids, each with a very nice spouse, countless grandkids of all sizes) decided years ago to prohibit presents as an interference with just getting together for drinks, food, and fun - just too many people. For my in-laws and my kids, focusing on theater and music tix and restaurant vouchers in NYC. Cool memories last longer than things. Maybe some Christmas socks or a book too. (The Jesus part is the bigger deal for me, says the sanctimonious Bird Dog - but I do mean it.) 'God Particle' glimpsed at Hadron Sheesh. Let's see God this Christmas! What is attractive to men, and what to women Boston: Oldest Black Church Building In US Reopens After Repairs Mead: Christians Are Still Having Sex Say it isn't so. That's terrible. Colt Tells Connecticut, “You Can Keep Your Unions, Gun Bans, and Taxes”…Hello Florida! Media Matters Blames Christians For Poverty People who won't take a job until the unemployment runs out I have seen this too. How can these people look at themselves in the mirror, knowing they are milking their working neighbors and avoiding opportunities? European Central Bank Research Shows that Government Spending Undermines Economic Performance There's a lot more to the presidency than debate performance She is right about that. Newt is refreshingly blunt and smart, but is he a jerk too? Jerry Brown's Disastrous Plan for California - The Golden State governor champions higher taxes when he should be cutting spending. Via Driscoll:
If you ran this scam in the business world, you'd be in jail NYU to Offer Courses on Occupy Wall Street Good grief. Would a sane parent want to pay for that course?
Chicago: Feds probe union pension deals - Subpoenas show feds investigating how 11 leaders qualified for inflated retirement payments Great news: Congress trusted less than lobbyists and used-car salespeople I'm Rich, Bitch! - A Peasant Theory Overview (h/t Vanderleun) Romney now all negative all the time, just like in 2008 That's a terrible strategery, unattractive.

Monday, December 12. 2011Political quote du jourRe Greenies: "The first man I saw was of a meagre aspect, with sooty hands and face, his hair and beard long, ragged, and singed in several places. His clothes, shirt, and skin, were all of the same colour. He has been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put in phials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw inclement summers. He told me, he did not doubt, that, in eight years more, he should be able to supply the governor's gardens with sunshine, at a reasonable rate: but he complained that his stock was low, and entreated me "to give him something as an encouragement to ingenuity, especially since this had been a very dear season for cucumbers." I made him a small present, for my lord had furnished me with money on purpose, because he knew their practice of begging from all who go to see them." Jonathan Swift, from Gulliver's Travels (h/t Englishman) Monday morning linksWhat Really Happened Aboard Air France 447 (h/t, neoneo's Sad,… ) U.S. Universities Feast on Federal Student Aid: Virginia Postrel Durban climate change: Talks descend into farce Climate Change Debate about Global Wealth Redistribution The Surber Rule for Repubs in the election Barry Rubin: Make way for the Moslim Brotherhood International Obama Fools CBS, Says: "I'm Not Redistributing the Wealth" CURL: Election 2012 by the numbers E-mail isn’t killing the Postal Service - The lack of genuine, head-to-head competition is hurting the post office Sunday, December 11. 2011Sunday linksThe Science of Taste Or: Why Dry-Aged Meat Is So Damned Delicious Everybody I know hangs their venison in the garage, intact, often with skin on, for a couple of weeks before butchering. Just because it's maybe a good thing doesn't mean government should do it When Did the EPA Jump the Shark? - A cautionary tale about bureaucracy and mission creep. UN Calls For Eco-Fascist World Government At Durban Summit The Differences between Corporate Greed and Government Greed Newt Gingrich clears fences at debate! CBS Poll: 75% Wrong Direction, 66% No Idea What Obama Wants To Do If Reelected Gingrich spokesman defends controversial Palestinian remark Gingrich is right, isn't he? Newt is Right About The "Palestinians" Mead disagrees Saturday, December 10. 2011A President With Illusions Costs LivesIn World War II, the United States did not have clear postwar goals for Eastern Europe. The brunt of this meant Eastern Europe suffered as Soviet satellites for almost half a century. The illusion of President Roosevelt about Stalin bears substantial responsibility.
The US held a moral stance toward eliminating Germany’s Nazi leadership and German rule over Europe. But, aside from desires, the US placed its eggs in the basket of a better postwar relationship with Stalin, rather than the freedom of Eastern Europe.
During the war, President Roosevelt had to deal with Churchill, who had a closer and clearer appreciation of the impact in Central and Eastern Europe of potential Soviet domination. But Roosevelt largely overrode Churchill. Roosevelt chose to deal with the paranoia of Stalin that (like Stalin had in 1939) the US and England would strike a deal with Germany short of its utter defeat. To the very end of his life, Roosevelt vainly believed, with vanity, that accommodating Stalin would yield trust and improved post-war relations. The fate of other peoples was secondary.
An illustration of Roosevelt’s haphazard policy making occurred at the Casablanca Conference in January 1943.

Tuesday, December 6. 2011Looking Away From Hate At California State UniversityDoes a math professor at California State University, Northridge, have the right to use the university’s web server, the url being the university’s, to post a hate page against Israel and Jews? The webpage says, “Israel is the most racist state in the world at this time,” Israel engages in “ethnic cleansing”, says “No” to the question “But aren't Palestinians equally responsible for the violence?”, posts links to other similar charges from the usual assortment of Israel-haters, and calls for a boycott of Israel. According to the California State University’s legal counsel, “The California State University is committed to protect against the misuse of its name.” He continues on “Misuse of the CSU name”, "It is inappropriate to use the CSU name without the written permission of the institution for any purpose, including:…Advertising any meeting or activity that has the purpose of supporting or opposing any strike, lockout, boycott, or political, religious, sociological or economic activity…" Yet, according to the Cal State Northridge president, retiring this month, a review of the professor’s webpage, spurred by many letters of complaint, “raised many difficult issues, it found no such violations.
