The Bloody Road To Safety
Bill Whittle’s latest Firewall is up. Yours truly is paraphrased.
A Quack Diet
I don’t wish Bill Clinton ill health, but I won’t be surprised if he has more heart problems. Dean Ornish is a quack, IMO.
Christianity And Redistribution
Sorry, no, it does not compel it.
Treat Every Firearm
…as though it’s loaded. A safety tip.
“The Last Bastion Of Sanctioned Bigotry”
Stop attacking the evangelicals, writes Kirsten Powers.
Actually, while it is socially acceptable among leftists to be bigots against Christians (and southerners), Tea Party members are fair game, too.
The Neglect Of Communist Crimes
It should be just as socially unacceptable to wear a hammer and sickle, or Mao jacket, or Che tee shirt, as it is to wear a swastika.
[Update a few minutes later]
Yes, I know the piece is a couple years old. It’s worth reposting, though, given the proximity of the fiftieth anniversary of the Wall being erected.
Backslash
Some thoughts from Eugene Volokh. I didn’t know that people were confused on this issue. But it is irritating that Microsoft screwed things up with DOS (as they did many other things).
What’s In A Name
Some thoughts on the nautical origins of the symbolism of the Space Shuttle. I agree with some commenters, though — a true space ship would never enter the atmosphere. And it’s where NASA’s focus should be, not on a giant rocket to nowhere.
Restaurant Web Sites

I suspect that some of them have the attitude with regard to posting their prices that, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
