An interview between Rick Santelli and Regulation Barbie.

Albion’s Continued Fall
Mark Steyn, on the decline of democracy in the UK:
So much for those Yank-style televised leaders’ debates only a couple weeks back. Instead, Britain will end up with a leader who didn’t participate in the leaders’ debates, presiding over a coalition that wasn’t on the ballot, implementing a platform no party ran on, yet committed to transformative electoral reform for which there is no mandate.
But other than that, it’s a great plan, and system.

Fountain Of Youth?
This is interesting. A seventeen-year-old girl who has the biological age of one year old. The question is, how does development relate to aging?

And of course, it’s tough luck that she didn’t get stuck in a seventeen-year-old’s body.
