Slow day here, traveled back from Palm Desert. I never watched the show The OC, but I hope the scenery is better than what I saw on the drive back to the airport. Where has everyone gone this weekend? Ah, this explains it, Power outages from...

Fascinating account of how new environmental regulations and restoration projects are emptying the northern California countryside, Rural rebellion brewing: Sacramento is Government Central, a land of overly pensioned bureaucrats and restaurant discounts for state workers. But way up in the North State, one finds a small...
Sometimes the Editorial Board of The NY Times gets it right, even if for the wrong reasons, as in this editorial, The Court and the Next President: When Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. began the new Supreme Court term by congratulating Antonin Scalia on his 25th...
From Walter Russell Mead referencing cancellation of his own speech, and taking it all in good humor: I was scheduled to give a talk at the Hannah Arendt conference here at Bard this evening on the problems of the green movement in dealing with the connections...
just to sing? Thanks to reader Joe, who writes: Spotted this unfortunate billboard in Chicago (which is shocking, I know) on Western Ave near the I-90 entrance ramp. Felt like it was juxtaposed nicely with the billboard from those greedy, evil corporate fat cats at Big Red. Keep up all the...
The pretext for the U.N. no fly zone in Libya was to protect Libyan civilians from Gaddafi's army. The U.S., France and others then exceeded the U.N. mandate by attacking Gaddafi's forces more generally, leading eventually to Gaddafi's capture and field execution. Back in March I...

Thanks to reader Brian who saw this in the parking lot of this brew pub in Indianapolis, and writes: I live in a much more downscale area, much more blue collar, and I never see this kind of thing in my neighborhood. Apparently ostentatious progressivism is...
He's staked out a position, and he's not backing down. From @StevenErtlet: ...
The title is facetious, of course, but nonetheless relevant in light of this "leak" of a portion of Will's upcoming column which skewers Mitt Romney: Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less...
but he totally wrecks Cornel West in this recent TV interview that I have deemed a must watch. Once Cornel West makes a fortune off of reading the market, I'll start listening to his explanations of crises. By the way, I'm fairly certain that everyone who pines for Glass-Steagall...
