Ash Wednesday
By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat every day of your life, until you return to the ground from which you were taken; for thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return. Gen 3:19
Santorum Commits the Deadly Sin of Politics…
… he does not pretend to agree with everyone. (h/t: Memeorandum) When Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he declared that marriage is between a man and a woman. For the most part, his position was treated as a nonissue. Now Rick Santorum is campaigning for president. He too says that marriage is… Read More Santorum Commits the Deadly Sin of Politics…
I know what I said…
HIMYM was funny tonight. “I camp in secret,” “Landing strip on Marshall, even money,” good stuff. Last line, super-annoying.

Bill Whittle Mounts the Soapbox Against George Lucas
I never promised I was done with this.
When the Fascists Come, They Come for the Children First.
When I was in middle school, they used to take us down to the multi-purpose room and make us watch plodding videos about nutrition (vegetables good, sugar bad), and then preach to us about the kinds of things we should be eating. I remember one day when the teachers asked whether we should be drinking… Read More When the Fascists Come, They Come for the Children First.
Lileks on Hoarders
Good stuff: There’s always two stories, they alternate between them, and something is always about to happen, usually eviction.

Not the junk they keep, not the reasons they give, not the delusions they construct, but the immense… Read More Lileks on Hoarders
