The frightening thing is that this woman teaches schoolkids.
Nazism was many things, but “capitalism,” unfettered or otherwise, was not among them.

The Climate Debate Is Over
…and the alarmists lost.
[Update a while later]
Why is Obama getting a pass on his climate lies?
Really, at this point, why does anyone believe anything he says any more?
“Shovel Ready” Jobs
Why does the Left hate work?
Some on the right think this strategy is part of a grand plan. They see an increase in the number of Americans who are dependent on the federal government as beneficial to Democrats, who largely win the votes of those to whom they offer ever-higher benefits and welfare. I refuse to imagine that any such insidious thinking is behind the left’s refusal to embrace job creation.
I believe, instead, that it springs from a wide-spread lack of private sector experience. President Obama believes the government can right all wrongs – that’s the wellspring from which community activists derive their inspiration. It is a philosophy that has done great damage to this country in recent years – and we’re not out of the woods yet.
I think she’s too kind.
Heartburn
Apparently, carb reduction can help with GERDS.
The National Climate “Assessment”
Judith Curry has the goods on this latest bout of junk science:
My main conclusion from reading the report is this: the phrase ‘climate change’ is now officially meaningless. The report effectively implies that there is no climate change other than what is caused by humans, and that extreme weather events are equivalent to climate change. Any increase in adverse impacts from extreme weather events or sea level rise is caused by humans. Possible scenarios of future climate change depend only on emissions scenarios that are translated into warming by climate models that produce far more warming than has recently been observed.
Roger Pielke approves.
The Democrat’s Response To Benghazi
The four “D”s: deny, delay, disrupt, discredit.
Trey Gowdy is in for a rough ride, but I think he knows that.
Health-Care Spending
The notion that the ACA will reduce it is Obama’s biggest lie?
I don’t know. It’s got a lot of stiff competition.
FUD From NASA And CNES
They try to tell SpaceX how hard reusability is.
I’ve got to run some errands, but I’ll have some comments later. Briefly, though, Dumbacher’s comparison with the SSME is pretty much worthless.
This Year’s Duranty Prize
…has been awarded.
Last Week’s Ruling
In his inimitable way, Mark Steyn explains:
The way the DC “legislature” wrote the Anti-SLAPP law it’s unclear whether a denial of an anti-SLAPP motion is appealable. So my co-defendants would like the Court of Appeals to rule on the question. They could have ruled on it way back last autumn when the denial of the motion to dismiss the original complaint was appealed, but by then Michael E Mann, whose original complaint was as poorly constructed as his hockey stick, had filed his amended complaint, so the Court of Appeals ruled that it was moot. If you’re wondering what “it” is in that last clause, “it” is any combination of: a) the original complaint; b) the original motion to dismiss the original complaint; c) the original denial of the original motion to dismiss the original complaint; d) the original appeal of the original denial of the original motion to dismiss the original complaint; e) the original appeal of whether the original appeal of the original denial of the original motion to dismiss the original complaint is appealable; or f) a gluten-free chia-seed bagel three days past its sell-by date left under the judges’ desk.
Or something.
