The part that resembles Ted Kennedy is growing, too — much like Ted, come to think of it.

I’m surprised they haven’t taken the thing apart long since. We’ve got the technology to put it back together the exact same way that it was.

This is an amazingly great idea. This sort of ‘bottom-up marketing’ was used, for example, by the inventor of the Post-It note.

The only thing more disappointing than a Marxist dictator is an incompetent Marxist dictator.
Perhaps he should ask Fidel for some pointers.

Just as video games have produced an entire generation of tank gunners and anti-aircraft missileers, we are now raising kids to be airborne rangers.
Just wait until the leftoids get ahold of this one.

People used to say “Pas devant les domestiques”, but nobody who’s anybody speaks French any more.
Thomas Keller is, of course, famous for his attention to detail.

Read it.
When we capture them, they wind up in Guantanamo with three halal meals a day, daily prayer, and government provided health care that’s better than anything they’ve ever had before.
When they capture us, we get paraded in propaganda videos and our bones are later found in an unmarked grave, when we haven’t been beheaded on TV.
That tells you everything you need to know about this war.

Reminder for the dim-witted: Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology with which no co-existence is possible.
Nobody in the world worries about Christians coming to cut his head off. The same cannot be said of Muslims. Take whatever action you think is appropriate.

An interesting discussion, although whether the perceived gap is counter-intuitive or not depends on the perspective of the viewer, I suspect. There have been entire books written on why women are more church-going than men (like this one and this one).

If Hillary can deal with — and is willing to deal with — somebody like Scaife, then the Europeans would be a piece of cake. She’s certainly got a bigger pair than Obama has ever demonstrated.

The Hog reviews our arrangements for air travel security.
The TSA is run by dribbling, diaper-wearing, ignorant, inbred morons.
And that about says all that needs to be said.

Sounds like the plot to a bad movie, doesn’t it?
A similar experiment triggered a series of earthquakes near Basel in Switzerland last year.
The Law of Unintended Consequences just seems to keep biting these politically-correct morons.
A spokesman for Staufen council said: “The community was so proud of the environmentally-friendly geothermal energy project that it would be a painful irony if that was the cause for this incredible occurrence.”
No shit.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. I listen to my wife complain about how the tight job market means they can’t get any qualified applicants for job openings at her company, and then I see newspaper headlines that the economy sucks and we’re only a heartbeat away from another Great Depression.

See this in the news? No? Imagine my surprise.
Guess what would have happened if a Christian had done this. Or a Jew. Of course, a Christian or a Jew wouldn’t have . That’s the point.

The truth is out there. The point of this story is that Hayeck was right: No one of us knows as much as all of us, and so a central authority will never be able to beat a market for accuracy of information.

The Clintons got away with this sort of thing for so long that you can’t blame them for wondering how they missed the memo advising that henceforth the old rules no longer apply.

Cringely takes on an unusual topic for a tech columnist.
As my friend Henry from down the road in Mansfield, Ohio, points out, the Amish have been on this same “new” educational path forever. Their ability to produce nearly 100 percent productive citizens (and very nice furniture) for about fifty bucks per student per year is especially galling to those government schools that spend $16K and turn out a lot of slackers.
Or maybe not.

An obvious attempt to short-circuit one of McCain’s perceived strong points. I’d be happier if I thought he really believed it, rather than it being a fairly blatant political ploy.
