It was 62 years ago today. I think it was sometime after 911 that I noticed that the anniversary was no longer noted by the media. When I was younger, it was always commemorated; it was one of those “what were you doing when it happened” things, but the event is now long outside the lived memory of most people.

The Future Of Journalism
Yes, the times they are a’changing.
The Anti-Promethean Backlash(es)
Thoughts on its source(s), from Virginia Postrel.
One of the irritating things about the immigration debate is the conflation of opposition to immigration per se, and opposition to the unrestricted flooding of the country with people who have been completely unvetted, and many of whom are coming not for American opportunity but rather government handouts, and many of whom hate America (e.g., Somalians in Minnesota).

Good news, from VDH.
The Fascist Kennedy Family
It’s just more evidence of the failing of the American media that too many Americans still worship these people as royalty.
Michelle Bachman
…has resigned from the Heritage Foundation over its refusal to sanction Kevin Roberts for his own refusal to criticize Tucker Carlson’s descent into anti-Semitism.

Nothing New Under The Sun
I was digging through the archives looking for my first Veteran’s Day post in 2001, and I ran across this fisking of an op-ed on space policy from The Economist. It holds up pretty well, I think. I wish that they had followed my advice then. We’d be a lot further ahead.
Less Warming
When it means “more fear.”
I think/hope that the climate grift is on its last legs.
A Fifty-Year Mortgage?
In this scenario, which is basically almost an interest-only loan, you don’t really own your home; you’re just renting it from the bank.
The Armed Awakening
…of America’s radical left.
The Cold Civil War is defrosting, and I don’t think the left will ultimately be happy with the results.
