Can we do it any more?
Not when the leadership of one of the major parties sees US weakness in the world as a feature rather than a bug.

The Unteachables
What our “self-esteem” movement and the public schools have wrought. It’s been over thirty years since that commission on education issued the report that said that if a foreign power had imposed this educational system on us, we would rightly consider it an act of war. It’s true today more than ever.
Send In Your Nominations
…for the first Walter Duranty Prize for journalistic mendacity.
Is Keith Olbermann a journalist? I think that Tom Friedman deserves at least a nomination for his China worship.
The Occupiers At The NATO Summit
…are no match for capitalist pigs like Jonathan Hoenig. Heh.
Mere mockery is too good for them, but it’s too much fun.
Lipids
Interesting, and slightly dismaying. If true, the HDL/LDL ratio isn’t really important; all that really matters is the absolute LDL level. Still, a high ratio and reduction of total would reduce LDL. But the most important takeaway from a dietary standpoint is that you are not what you eat — there is little correlation between cholesterol intake and serum cholesterol. A failure to understand this over the decades has resulted in a lot of terrible dietary advice, including the kind that probably killed my father in the seventies.

I’m also referring to the barbarians in public office there (and DC, and New York) who defy Constitution and the Supreme Court, and the age-old right of the law-abiding to arm and defend themselves, because they willfully enable the barbarism.
OWS
In honor of their latest vileness, @SooperMexican has started a new hash tag: #HonestOWSchants
Plus, he’s hijacked another one: #NoNATO
So here’s my question. How does this differ from the usual Marxist/anarchist violent asininity that generally accompanies G-whatevernumber or NATO summits? It’s the same moronic thugs, and nothing new. Well, except for the fact that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and top Democrats endorsed them.
“The Consensus Is What We Follow In Science”
A first-hand report on Michael Mann’s disengenuous and unhappy visit to the Happiest Place On Earth.
[Update a while later]
LOL. I just noticed the graphic over there.
Barack Hussein Obama
Just who is he?
I hope he’s right that people will start to finally get curious about all of the oddities, but I don’t expect it.
Dumber Than A Bag Of Hammers
“…and sickles.”
