Looks mostly sunny in my backyard right now, but I’m not going to say with any certitude that it won’t rain later. **** update: By the way: if it doesn’t rain later, remember who it was who first reported that it was sunny in my backyard. **** update 2: BREAKING: nothing much has changed — though I do note a suspicious movement of the sun westward. Developing… **** update 3:

From Ace’s comments: OK, does anyone read ProteinWisdom regularly? What’s happened over there? I used to read it, but kind of lost interest when the main host got involved in some sort of blog battle and subsequent whiny emotional meltdown. But now I discover (via a link at Patterico) that they have really jumped the shark and are accusing Ace, HotAir, and Patterico of going full-blown Katrina over the Japan

Looks like they’ll be no real-world Godzilla vs Mothra battles, after all. I still say nuclear energy needs to be strongly promoted here in the states (it’s probably best to keep reactors out of California, however). And I suspect we can use what we learn from Japan to better the containment and cooling technology. Besides. I’m pretty sure wind turbines wouldn’t have stood up any better to the earthquake and

Someone please email this to Brian Kiteley. I’ve never been beaten with tweed and smugness before, but I suspect it doesn’t leave much of a mark. So. So. (thanks to geoffB)

We are “management,” in your fantastical and romanticized “Fight-The-Powers!” scenario. We are The Man. We: the schlubs who aren’t guaranteed jobs, who have to pay for our own retirements, who pitch in for our own health care, who are expected to actually perform, and who can’t buy wage and benefit increases with votes and money funneled to a single political party. You know what that makes you? The minority. Don’t

Courtesy of Doug Ross. I blame Sarah Palin, and demand that “Meet the Press”‘s David Gregory hound any and all Republicans he interviews until they denounce her, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, the TEA Party, gun-toting middle American white racists racists racists!, evangelical Christians, the Jews who control the media, union busters like Scott Walker and the villainous, anti-working man “management” — the private sector taxpayer —

…and tell him to vote NO on this upcoming CR. A vote for the CR is a vote for funding ObamaCare. Period. End stop. ObamaCare is ALREADY being funded, and Boehner and Co are pretending that their fidelity to a rule — one that has been circumvented on a number of other occasions — is keeping them from attacking the $105 billion for ObamaCare that was hidden in the authorization

What is feminism, and who gets to decide? Well, one way to answer that question is to look at who certain “feminists” label “anti-feminists.” There. I win. **** update: Oh. And KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY UTERUS!

AP: The White House is denouncing a vote by the Wisconsin Senate to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from government workers, calling it an assault on public employees. White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama believes it is wrong for Wisconsin to use its budget troubles “to denigrate or vilify public sector employees.” — Which Walker did by saving at least 1500 jobs. And by forcing those

Is it just me, or does anyone else look at Ms Hogan and see the smug, self-satisfied invincibility of bureaucratic entrenchment. Even her glasses offend me. As a one-time nation of rugged individualists, we used to sneer at the busy bodies and blue noses. Now, college kids form drum circles and occupy capitol buildings to extol the virtues of big government and the nannystate. My theory is that the socially
