Don’t Be Evil

Riiiiiight.

Wright a Former Muslim?

It appears that he is indeed.

Now, on balance, the world’s a better place with more former Muslims. But, given Wright’s rantings and past associations, are we really sure he converted?

If Obama doesn’t repudiate his unsavory friends I just don’t see him playing well in Des Moines come November.

My Kind of Law Professor

Where can we find more like Bainbridge?

You want to help make society a better place? You want to eliminate poverty? Become a corporate lawyer. Help businesses grow, so that they can create jobs and provide goods and services that make people’s lives better.
A corporate lawyer not only serves the public interest by helping to create new wealth, we also help defend an important social institution from statism.

Will the Beeb Put It Right?

I wouldn’t count on it, but Samizdata has the email address of the reporter who wrote altered that story on “global warming” – all because an activist told him to.

Mugging for the Camera

Ed Driscoll compares two news stories and gives a little glimpse into how “TV news” is made.

He really only scratches the surface. If you’ve never edited video or a movie you just have no idea how powerful it is. I’m glad that idiot reporter got fired for her high-tech lynching of an old man, but Driscoll is right that several other heads should have joined hers in the basket.

Laugh Line OTD

Oliver Stone says his Bush biopic will be “fair”.

Reaction from real biographers to the script was, as the Hollywood Reporter cautiously intones, “mixed“.

Best Game Ever

The Improveverywhere team hits a home run.

Asking for Trouble

Oh, Bama.

Deliriant Isti Magistri

Please tell me this was an April Fools joke.

More on the Free-Market Case for Green

Peter Robinson continues his chat with T. J. Rodgers, who I like more the more I hear him.

T. J. Rodgers separates climate science from global-warming fiction: Do greenhouse gasses elevate temperatures? Probably true. Are some global-warming scientists spreading false alarms? Probably true, again. Is there more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than, say, 100 years ago? Probably true. Is this catastrophic? Probably not. In sum: Rodgers says it’s simply not clear that global warming is a catastrophe.

I spent an hour learning enough CSS to be able to change the link colors. It’s fun. It’s easy.

And it’s a $15 upgrade to WordPress if I want to be able to save the changes.

I hope you like these colors.
