…is a culture-war battle.

Coffee
You need four cups a day for the health benefits? We’ve both quit for the past few months, but when I was drinking it, I could barely choke down two.
“Social Justice”
I’m hoping that the coming crime wave won’t extend to the beach cities. I suspect it won’t, because the criminals will want to stay in the jurisdiction in which they’ll be coddled.
[Update a while later]
Well, this sucks. It’s the LA County DA, so it will affect us as well.
Ellen Page
These are worse than Heinlein’s Crazy Years.
The War On The Electoral College
…has only just begun.
If you oppose the Electoral College, or the fact that states get an equal number of senators, you literally hate the United States of America.
The Real Fascist Threat
It was never Trump; it was corporate power.
McDonald’s Fries
A history, and a recipe. I disagree with this, though:
His cholesterol was over 300, comfortably in the danger zone for heart attacks. Lack of self-control aside, it was fatty foods that nearly killed him. Thus, when he emerged from the hospital, he did so on a one-man mission to fight Big Fat.
It was not the fat that nearly killed him. We now have abundant evidence that the problem with McDonald’s fries was not the tallow, but the potatoes themselves. I’ve long advocated that, given that the company is the largest cattle rancher in the world, it should go back to tallow, and get rid of the unhealthy seed oils.
What I don’t understand about the recipe is why it uses Crisco, with just a little tallow added, presumably for flavor. It would probably be much better, and certainly healthier, to simply fry them in pure tallow.
Climategate
I still prefer “Climaquiddick.”
The Second World Wars
A review of what appears to be a new insightful book.
Yes, the resources poured by Hitler into the V weapons would have been of more use strategically if they’d gone instead into long-range bombers. And clearly, the Final Solution was an overall part of the plan, not just collateral damage from the war.
Reality Versus The Narrative
We still don’t know how this election will end, and won’t until the electors vote. And no, Joe Biden is not “President Elect,” and won’t be until then.
