Overgrown Rat Sees Shadow
Six more weeks of winter my ass. Tell it to my flowers and my dog, you fat rodent. The 40-50 degree days have them both acting like it’s Spring in February. Here’s an open thread.

My Holiday Kitchen Guide
I, too, have struggled to meet my culinary needs, so I thought I would help you all out with my helpful guide of items that might be useful in the kitchen. First, let’s conquer the salt challenge. As we all know, salt is vital and goes in almost everything we cook, so who wants to [...]

I have no clue what I’m talking about, but that’s not gonna stop me
Oh, my. Read this: Well, yes, I do tend to get concerned when politics cramps research and when certain facts are suppressed. And the subtle but clear differences in IQ between broad racial groups are a reality – across country and continent and world. They do not only persist when controlling for economic class, on [...]

More outrageous union thuggery
We Are Ohio had a booth set up at a local event, so I spent a couple of hours around there yesterday. It was generally low-key and subdued, which I attribute to September 11th, mostly because every single person I spoke to referenced September 11th. Other than that, just quiet, substantive discussion about the repeal [...]

Today In Glibertarianism
Let’s just do a round-up of stupid shit from Galt’s Gulch rejects. 1.) First, the low-hanging fruit (from the Hunting of the Snark by way of TBOGG): 2.) Also via TBOGG, we learn that the Galtian hunters who eat what they kill feel that they are under-appreciated in their cushy finance jobs. The poor bastards. [...]

She Just Can’t Help Herself
McMegan is bright enough to figure out what the S&P nonsense is about (BECAUSE S&P TOLD US), and in a post pointing her fingers at the Republicans for their stupidity, we get this instant classic in beltway “Both Sides Do It”: And yes, the Democrats had their own role to play—both in starting this monstrous [...]

Under pressure
It’s time for James Fallows, TNC, and every other self-respecting employee of the Atlantic (there are others, right?) to say the words “I am ashamed to work with Megan McArdle.” The truth will set you free. Her latest idiocy, on why she thinks it’s wrong to say Bush is primarily responsible for the debt problem: [...]

Baby Steps
While Congress grinds to a halt, the PPACA keeps chugging along: The Obama administration will soon take over the review of health insurance rates in 10 states where it says state officials do not adequately regulate premiums for insurance sold to individuals or small businesses. Starting Sept. 1, federal and state officials will begin to [...]

When You Wish Upon A Star
I saw over the weekend Mistermix’s post on E. D. Kain’s love for Gary Johnson. I dutifully read the linked the referenced Kain posts and the adoring Friedersdorf profile to which Kain linked.* I’m with Mistermix—I too would love to see a president wave his magic wand and end wars, both foreign and domestic, but [...]

But I prefer….alcohol
Skippy-san finds McMegan hating all the demon rum in the Atlas Shrugged movie. I know that some Rand fans who like the movie are going to accuse me of sucking up to my liberal cocktail-party attending friends by unfairly slamming a damn fine film. The sad truth is that I don’t attend that many cocktail [...]

Open Thread
I’m not even going to bother linking McMegan’s latest piece about why she is chomping at the bit to fire teachers. To be honest, I didn’t even read it, as there is a solid chance it is rife with basic mistakes, faulty assumptions, and logical errors, all leading to an inaccurate conclusion. And when someone [...]

I Don’t Even Know What To Make Of This
Demonstrating that not only does he have a finger on the beating heart of fashion, but also public opinion, the Fonz links to this gibberish from some random crank on Reddit: The KOCH brothers must be stopped. They gave $40K to Scott Walker, the MAX allowed by state law. That’s small potatoes compared to the [...]

Under Assault
I’m just starting to get a real bunker mentality- Planned Parenthood is apparently the new Acorn. We’ll do a fundraiser for them sometime soon. As to Sullivan’s “Of course cuts hurt people” bullshit, a couple thoughts: 1.) Who is this ED Kain and what did he do with the old one? 2.) No one writes [...]

Priorities. Ur Doin’ It Wrong.
Sullivan passes on the information that the Atlantic fact-checks… poems. When I think of what needs to be fact-checked at the Atlantic, poems are not at the top of my list. I’m betting you can guess where those fact-checking assets might be better used…
