Good morning. Well, last night, life intruded with a long “help” call for my daughter’s homework … hence no essay. I’ll be flying back tonight and should get some good grist for the blogging mill reading on the plane.
- Dark thoughts (HT: Ochlophobist, the)
- Of ethanol and petroleum.
- Analyzing violence.
- Atheism and political ethics.
- Looking at an one of Mr Obama’s aids.
- A suggestion re the gender wage discrepancy.
- An answer for a question Mr Sullivan asked.
- Kept quiet … or not.
- Is he just trying to buy votes?
- Of weather (not climate) and economics.
- The point of the tattoo … missed by the media.
- V. Havel criticises Mr Obama’s litte compromises.
- “The meltdown” over Mr Limbaugh’s failed NFL bid … missing only any sort of actual meltdown.
- A paper on libertarianism.
- The mortgage crises was so much fun … let’s line up another. And not unrelated … more bailout problems noted. Here too.
- Of science and the media. In the conclusion, I think this thought can be more generally applied to the media’s topical response to just about anything, “I want to know what’s going on at the frontier of research elsewhere. I don’t want to know what the crazy outliers do, I want to know what the central problems are. Give me the big picture, give me a basis. If I want to know more details, I’ll look for them.” Replace research, with politics, economics, current events, whatever.
- A worthwhile celebrity quote.
- Consider the beard (and ex-beard).
