Mad-Men Economics
No, we can’t return to those ridiculously high post-war tax rates (which few people paid, anyway).
The Share Buttons Problem
I’ve disabled the plugin that puts the share buttons on the posts, so let’s see if that helps page loading. But I’ve also noticed that there’s an update to it, so it might be that if I install the new version, it will fix it as well.
[Update a few minutes later]
OK, I”ve installed the new version. Let me know if you’re still having problems with page loads.
[Update a while later]
OK, new version didn’t fix it, so I’ve deactivated again. It does seem to be Google that was slowing things down.
Mark Steyn, Me And Galileo
I hadn’t noticed at the time, but Daren Jonescu had an interesting essay last month on Judge Green’s denial of our anti-SLAPP motions.
Opposition To Gun Control
…is “neo-Confederate“? Really?
Someone should explain a little history to Ms. Reid. It is gun control itself that is “neo-Confederate.” It was used in the South after Reconstruction to disarm blacks, the better to lynch them. In fact, it was the Klan’s favorite law.
Idiot.

My Father
I just realized he would have been ninety years old today, if he hadn’t died over a third of a century ago, at 55. He had a terrible lifestyle — he smoked most of his life, was overweight, and had a bad diet, exacerbated by horrible nutritional advice (low-fat, grains) after his first heart attack at age 45. I’ve outlived him now, with no signs of coronary problems, but I’ve never smoked, and never been (much) overweight. I’m hoping that I’ll live to be at least ninety, and if I can make it that far, I suspect I’ll go far beyond, barring accidents or massive social upheaval.
What Makes You Fat?
Gee, they’re actually going to do some real science on nutrition, and not just accept the foolish folk-wisdom thermodynamics theory. What a concept.
