Faster, please.
Young Arabs
…think that Israel is not the biggest problem in the Middle East.
This seems like good news.
[Saturday-morning update]
Well, who would have guessed this? Turns out that anti-Israel boycotters don’t like being boycotted.
Huh.
Voters For Hillary Calling
Well, they have to learn about the scandals somehow.
Speaking of which, Jon Gabriel breaks down the NYT story on the corrupt uranium deal. And, of course, Clinton campaign staffers get caught lying to a NYT reporter.
Is this really the best the Democrats can do?

In Defense Of Fareed Zakaria
This is cruel. Funny, but cruel. And well deserved.
Libertarians
…are the WEIRDest people in the world.
Personhood For Non-Humans
Elizabeth Price Foley is appalled at some recent court decisions, and the trend.
I’ve got mixed feelings on this. I agree that they shouldn’t be given full human rights, but I do think we should make distinctions as a function of intelligence, and perhaps even recognize some degree of moral agency (e.g., dolphins). It also raises the issue of how we would treat extraterrestrials as a function of those things.
Apollo 13
The day it crashed into the earth, or something.
This story is depressing to me in what it says about the state of public education.
Military Morale
If you wonder why it’s low, it’s because of things like this:
“Attendance is mandatory and if we miss it we get a negative counseling and a ‘does not support the battalion sharp/EO mission’ on our CDT OER for getting the branch we want. So I just spent $16 on a pair of high heels that I have to spray paint red later on only to throw them in the trash after about 300 of us embarrass the U.S. Army tomorrow,” one anonymous cadet wrote on the social media sharing website Imgr, IJReview reported Monday.
What has this country come to?

Katherine Timpf points out the real problem with the march: How offensive it was to the trans community.
.@KatTimpf It's hard to get out of bed in the morning (or even stay there) these days without offending someone.

It was female officers who made the cadets march in high heels. Seems like sexual harassment to me.
Also, Alinsky wears high heels.

Homeland Security
…working overtime to import new Democrat votes for the 2016 election.
High-Speed Cars
Honda has an alternative to both HSR and the Hyperloop.
Makes a lot more sense to me.
