All of a sudden, they’re no longer rare.
Isn’t technology great?

It’s Not Enough To Prevent Climate Change
We must restore it.
It’s nuts to think there was some benign past in which the climate was ideal. The only benign climate is one that we’re wealthy enough to deal with.
Those Times The Media Didn’t Ask Obama To Resign
There were probably more than five of them.
California Splittin’
We’ll get to vote to break the place up.
The Real War On Science
It is (as always) from the Left. I suppose it’s possible that Pruitt is corrupt, but I’m certainly not going to take these charlatans’ word for it.

Trump’s Trade Policy
It’s magnificently right, and catastrophically wrong.
The entitlement sending is out of control, and what cannot go on forever will eventually stop.
The EPA
Scott Pruitt is the best administrator ever.

This one is going to be harder for some than others. Sarah Hoyt has been pretty good about this, while I have always struggled. But if at all possible, when you sit down to write, don’t be a straight white male. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with being a straight white male — you were born that way, no fault of your own — it’s just that everyone hates you. So stop it.
I don’t think I’m even going to work on that one.

Sarah has some blurbs about the book.
