Non-political links:<\/p>\n

  • Awesome<\/a>. The navy shoots down on a drone with a laser.<\/li>\n
  • OK, semi-political. I wish I’d had this woman<\/a> as my philosophy professor when we were looking at feminist philosophy.<\/li>\n

    Political links:<\/p>\n

  • Crime in Arizona, like the rest of the country, is way down … except in the district patrolled by America’s toughest sheriff<\/a>. Funny that.<\/li>\n
  • I’m forced to agree with a lot of what’s in this video<\/a>. I wish our leaders would stop trying to pretend that solving global warming is an economic miracle waiting to happen. Not when things like public transportation are such boondoggles<\/a>. When I hear pie in the sky talk about AGW, it indicates someone who isn’t taking the issue seriously, just using it as an excuse to prop up special interests. And, like the video, I wish global warming weren’t happening. But I can’t convince myself it’s a myth.<\/li>\n
  • Ron Bailey links up the worst environmental disasters<\/a>. You could add Chernobyl and Bhopal to the list if you wanted to get historical.<\/li>\n
  • It is absolutely unsurprising that the NHTSA investigation essentially cleared<\/a> Toyota of most wrongdoing. This is simply a repeat of the sudden acceleration incidents that happened twenty years ago. Ted Frank wades<\/a> into the comments on the Toyota lawsuits. Worth reading as he is an excellent debater.<\/li>\n
  • In the end, the Nanny Staters will press for this<\/a>, taking kids out of homes that make them fat. Never mind that weight is a difficult issue to pin down (I linked last week to a school bashing the parents of a gymnast because her Bullshit Mass Index was high). Is the biggest problem we need to solve in parenting people feeding their kids too much?<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
