A Quarter Mil

Quarter_milReached another hits milestone yesterday.

Since signing up with TypePad in April 2004 (the blog itself has existed since February 2004), I’ve had a quarter million hits.

Cool!

(Downside: I’m expected to bust my bandwidth allotment this month. Don’t know what they’ll do, if anything, when that happens.)

Sorry, Hil, Redstaters Aren't This Dumb

SEN. CLINTON IS ARGUING THAT WE CAN FIND COMMON GROUND ON ABORTION BY WORKING TO REDUCE THE CAUSES OF ABORTION WHILE LEAVING IT LEGAL.

No way, Jose.

I know that you have presidential ambitions, Hil, but that dog won’t hunt.

Nothing but a total ban on abortion is acceptable.

Of course, the junior senator from New York ain’t trying to win over true redstaters. She’s trying to appeal to the mushy middle.

It’s up to solid pro-lifers to educate them away from taking the bait.

LIBERALS: What, Me Worry?

In preparation for the coming push for Social Security reform, some liberals are now trying to argue that there is no "crisis" (a term that is almost infinitely plastic in meaning, as it can refer either ot an imminent crisis or a looming, long-term crisis) and that the system can be "fixed" by (guess what) tax increases and benefit reductions (not for present, voting seniors, mind you, but for us when we retire).

TIME FOR A THOMAS SOWELL SMACKDOWN!

STEYN: No Exit–And–The Problem Is That Red Staters Aren't Dumb Enough

IN THIS EDITORIAL . . .

. . . Mark Steyn argues two points:

1) All the discussion about whether we have an "exit strategy" in Iraq is misdirected, and

2) The real source of the Democrats’ rage at the redstaters is not that the redstaters are too stupid but that they aren’t stupid enough.

SCIENTISTS: Pokemon Causes Cancer!–Or–Turn It Off! Turn It Off! Turn It Off!

IT’S TRUE!

Only it’s not the Pokemon you think. It’s a gene called Pokemon, and it seems to be a "master switch" gene that allows for all sorts of cancers.

It appears that we may be able to make significant headway in the fight against cancer if we can find a way to take this gene and, like many parents yell when their kids watch too many episodes of the TV show, "Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off!"
