MFT's Upcoming Excellent Adventure
From the desolate bleakness of Mott to the desolate bleakness of Bayanhongor. Geez, MFT, couldn't you have thrown in a week or two on Palau in between?Have a great time, komrad, and enjoy Christmas and the New Year before Ulaan bators you.
A "Live' Constitution is a Dead Thing
Little more than 200 years, Ben, 200 turbulent but promising years. Then, Kaput. You were a sharp man, Mr. Franklin.
Jumping ship
A radiation oncologist who founded a cancer treatment center, Griffith plans to blast the Democratic health care bill as a prime reason for his decision to switch parties—and is expected to cite his medical background as his authority on the subject.
They got him sooo pegged.

Hitchens Gives an Early Christmas Present to Foxhole Atheists
The point, or idea, in the argument most important is what is required to maintain a healthy Republic: the divide between Church and State. This not only so that the Church doesn't impose itself on the State, but also so that the State doesn't impose itself on the Church. It's a worthwhile ideal.
Here's a nifty excerpt:
"I am still not going to give any real names of [the atheist or agnostic] cadets attending my little event: there were about 20 of them, mostly males. Two of the group, one Baptist and one Mormon, had given up their faith since enlisting at the academy. The others fluctuated between doubt and agnosticism and straight-out unbelief. They were good-humored, outspoken, and tough-minded: the sort of people who make you proud of being defended by a volunteer military."
And on that note, an early Happy Christmas to FCP'ers as well.

'Tis the season for the frisson
Stripping provides an opportunity for me to spread some holiday cheer the way I know best: with my big knockers. I admit my methods are unorthodox, but they sure are effective. I like to surprise a worthy customer with a free private dance, or pony up for a round of drinks for a particularly generous table. When a customer complains that he’s “just not feeling” the spirit, well, a quick smother of my cleavage relieves him of his grinchiness.

They've got us Soooo Pegged: Again
Hey, you stinking Aryan grouper, Herr Rott, can you supply some glocks for our Militia? Big Birther is ready to take wing.
Heads right for Planet Pepe
From a Steyn post, on NRO"Re: Cantor: A Look Ahead [Mark Steyn]
This line from Congressman Cantor caught my eye:
They’re allocating taxpayer dollars as if those dollars belonged to the senators. It borders on immoral. Just look at the way Senator Landrieu put her vote up for sale. Senator Nelson did the same.
You can't even dignify this squalid racket as bribery: If I try to buy a cop, I have to use my own money. But, when Harry Reid buys a senator, he uses my money, too. It doesn't "border on immoral": it drives straight through the frontier post and heads for the dark heartland of immoral. "
Ramming it through
Even in World War I there was a Christmas truce. Not in Pepea. No siree.
WellPoint found that a healthy 25-year-old in Milwaukee buying coverage on the individual market will see his costs rise by 178%. A small business based in Richmond with eight employees in average health will see a 23% increase. Insurance costs for a 40-year-old family with two kids living in Indianapolis will pay 106% more. I wonder how much Pepe's costs will increase. I still recall he presented this bill as something that will save him $$ on his business expenses. I say an increase of 100% in his business costs is only fair.

Forget about Palau
And if the EU model is anything to go by, then the agencies of global authority will involve vast tracts of power being handed to unelected officials. Forget the relatively petty irritations of Euro‑bureaucracy: welcome to the era of Earth-bureaucracy, when there will be literally nowhere to run.
Drill, baby! Drill!
Of course Tecs de Voorhees thinks all this is simplistique and insufficiently nuanced.
Fifth column alive and well
BTW, AA. I got something put in my mailbox by accident here at UW's guesthouse. Some ph.d. student or postdoc originally from UC got a `gift to thoughtful minds' from his alma mater. It consisted of an oh-so-PC Christmas card with a recipe for something in it. I think they want money.
Should I send it along to you?

Blizzard of 2009
.. is a pussy compared to the one of January 1978. You spring chickens old enough to remember that baby?
Well, Talk About Exquisite Irony
As I posted, in a comment a few below. "Why, what next, the imprisonment of those who speak against the Party and its members?"

Those Irishmen know all about parliamentary decorum
It has emerged that the F-word is not on the list of banned words, unlike brat, buffoon, rat and scumbag. But of course.
Gorebal Warming gets red hot
A Sudanese delegate, Lumumba Di-Aping, caused uproar when he compared the plan with the Holocaust. It was, he said, “a solution based on the same very values, in our opinion, that piled 6m people into furnaces in Europe”.
Blame it on Gorebal warming
Temperatures in northern France fell to as low as -8 Celsius on Friday night Dec. 18, “significantly lower than usual,” Eurostar’s Gorman said. “The more humid, warmer environment in the 30-mile tunnel affects the electrical systems” in the train engines, he said.
Pinko lords and stinking peasants
Another angle: Jared Diamond in his recent book Collapse supplies a clue to how a peculiar form of madness can grip a people and lead to economic demise. He looks at the wasteland that used to be Easter Island, with those forlorn heads staring into the abyss, and asks: what idiot chopped down the last tree, in order to move those heads to their resting places?
Your tax $$$ for Hamas!
Hey, if you can't give it to them for carbon offsets, how about just for being barbarians?

This is the single most important piece of paper in the world today
Right, Pepe, right. Have a schnapps to warm up.
