It’s good for you, and full-fat is the best. This would have been heresy for much of the past half century.

Martian Water
They may be able to dig wells. I wonder how much purification it will require, given the permanganchlorates. Also, the well will have to have a heater to melt the ice, I suspect.
[For some reason I always write “permanganates” when I mean perchlorates]
Restaurants
I’ve posted about this topic before, but they’re not “getting too loud.” They’ve always been too loud. They’re just getting worse.
The Climate Debate
CEI pushes back on Chuck Todd’s fantasy that it is over.
Cancer
I’m skeptical that these researchers have found a total cure (for one thing, it’s too many different things), but it would nice if it were true. I suspect that this is just a fundraising announcement, though.
Howard Schultz
Roger Simon thinks he could actually win the presidency. I don’t know, but an interesting question is if so, which party would be helped by his coat tails.
Fauxcahontas’s Wealth Tax
Thoughts from Tom Maguire.
It seems unconstitutional to me on its face. We had to amend the Constitution to get an income tax, and I’m pretty confident that it would be required here as well. Anyway, as Jim Bennett noted on Facebook, we should reserve comment until we can properly understand the proposal by reading it in the original Cherokee.

Want to soak the rich and help poor people? Tax fringe benefits. Yes, this would help a lot with decoupling health insurance from employment, which is how the mess got started.
Buzzfeed
No, like Al Gore, it did not create the Internet. It didn’t even create Facebook.
A Third Of A Century
Today is my birthday, which also means that it’s the anniversary of the loss of the Challenger and its crew (and the beginning of the long drawn-out end of the Shuttle program). Hard to believe it’s been that long.
Climate Models
When are they useful?
