  • Stephen Bainbridge has a good take<\/a> on the “Worst. President. Ever.” stuff. It’s way to early to judge Bush. And I would certainly rate Buchanan and Johnson lower.<\/li>\n
  • Hildog. Champion<\/a> of the Middle Class<\/li>\n
  • This<\/a> has got to be freaky — a man is trapped in an elevator for 42 hours<\/i>.<\/li>\n
  • One of the problems with the “climate change” crowd is that they assume that whatever the climate was in, say, 1975, it was ideal. I don’t think they’ve invested enough thought into this. If higher CO2 levels mean milder seasons and better harvests, that’s not a bad thing.\n

    Still, this bit of logic<\/a> from Indur Goklany is a bit dumb. It is a fact that human prosperity has increased in line with CO2 levels. But it’s also a fact that my weight has tracked my personal income (well, until recently). That doesn’t make being overweight good for me. I just haven’t felt the consequences yet. The question isn’t whether high CO2 levels are hurting us today<\/i>. It’s all about the long term.<\/li>\n

  • I must admit, that the gastric appendectomy<\/a> story freaked me out when I first heard it. But if it means you can get over appendicitis in a matter of hours, I’m all for it.<\/li>\n
  • Do we really need to prosecute people for looking<\/a> at children? Really? You know, we already have stalking laws on the books.<\/li>\n
  • A truly alarming<\/a> account of how far cops are going to get DUI convictions. A must read.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
