I think it’s important that kids learn it, but honestly, if I had to write long hand, I wouldn’t write. I detest the drudgery of dragging a writing utensil across paper. Without a keyboard, I have no idea how I’d have gotten through life.

The Tea Party
Jim Antle says that the Republicans have repealed and replaced it. It was another victory for the statists.
Guess we need to primary some of them next year.
[Later-afternoon update]
Arizona resident Bob Zimmerman is less than impressed with his senior senator. Emphasis on the “senior.”
“Smart” Teevees
All I want is a large-screen video monitor I can feed a video signal to. I don’t need speakers, or Internet in it. But apparently, you can’t find one any more. I did a search at Amazon for “tv -smart” and no televisions came up.

Hey, this
[Bumped]
Wind And Solar
You’ll be as shocked as I am to learn that researchers have been underestimating their cost.
Space Property Rights
More common law than Marxism, and that’s a good thing. I am cited.
The Bulk Interior Of The Moon
Water on the moon seems to be like gas and oil on earth. The more we look, the more we find.
Elon’s Mars Plans
Eric Berger reports that he’s probably getting more realistic.
Saturated Fat
No, American Heart Association, butter, steak, and coconut oil won’t kill you.
I consider this reckless disregard for the truth. Any lawyers out there who can tell me why they wouldn’t be subject to massive class action?

In 2010, Michelle Obama kicked off the “Let’s Move” campaign to help combat childhood obesity. This well-intentioned effort drew national attention to a serious topic that needed to be addressed.
Sadly, I knew the campaign was doomed to fail; because failure is easy to spot when you wage war against the wrong enemy.
Exercise and healthy eating were central themes of her effort. I am the first to admit that exercise is vital to maintaining overall health, considering that I made my living as a personal trainer. But as I explain to all of my clients, exercise is a lousy way to lose weight, in spite of its many benefits.
Every week, I interview doctors, scientists, and researchers who are on the front lines of combating obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other metabolic syndrome conditions.
The fact is our diet is almost exclusively to blame for these issues. For years, we have been focusing on the wrong enemy, as healthcare professionals, encouraged by the federal government, told us that fat in our diet was the root cause of these diseases. The so-called ‘experts’, aided by activist front groups, demonized saturated fat, and advised us to eat ‘heart-healthy’ grains and lean proteins. It turns out that this was exactly the wrong strategy.
Yes. And yet they continue to recommend it, and commit massive physical child abuse in Michelle’s school-lunch program.
Soylent
She tried it. As she writes, it not only didn’t end well, it didn’t even begin well. Cruel, but hilarious.
Saturated Fat
The tide continues to turn.

Why are doctors so stupid?
Basically, when they do have any time to keep up with the literature, much of it remains bogus.
