Heh, good ol’ Kim:

So the “ethanol mandate” (pushed by Greens, and implemented by their lickspittle lackeys in Congress) is keeping our food prices high. (It’s also causing Pore Brown People to die because we can’t send them food anymore, but that’s of little consequence to the Greens, because they hate mankind anyway.)

“They hate mankind anyway.”  Two legs bad!

This is ridiculous.

And the college presidential offices they hold: 100 college presidents want to “debate” lowering the drinking age.  But:

There are other arguments for lowering the age. Maybe the most popular is that if you’re old enough to join the Army and die for your country, you’re old enough to buy a beer. But there is a good reason to avoid such blind consistency. Among the qualities that make 18-year-olds such good soldiers are their fearlessness and sense of immortality—traits that do not mix well with alcohol.

The article points out some statistics on the drop in teenage automotive fatalities due to drinking with increases in the drinking age.  If it saves just one child it is worth it, right?

It is not fair that 18 year olds can fight and die for their country and vote, but not drink?   Just chalk it up as another life lesson: life isn’t fair, get over it.

And this is interesting, they worry about binge drinking, but isn’t it just Darwinism in action?  They believe in Darwinism, right?  This is just a failure of under 21 year olds to adapt to their environment.

This Wall Street Journal article asks some interesting questions.  If someone used explosives to knock some of your power stations off of the grid, to blow up pipelines for heating oil and natural gas to the northeast during winter, to shut down the phone systems in New York, Washington D.C., and Atlanta, these would likely be considered acts of war.  But if these things were done with a computer and without explosives it would not make them any less an act of war.

It probably was carrying the plague anyway:

G.I. Joe Exterminates Al Qaeda Vermin, No Waterboarding Needed

In a totally manly and brotherly oh-I-get-you-you-used-pneumatically-to-describe-a-girl way, Mr. Fu loves Lileks.  Heck, even Criley love Lileks.  And he writes so well (go see the picture):

everyone loves Reddy, even though his touch means certain death. Makes you wonder why he’s bothering with a rifle. Just head off to Berlin, flow through a circuit, come out an outlet and hey presto, Hitler’s smoking and screaming and his skeleton is blinking on and off and his toenails shoot out of his boots and embed themselves in the wainscoting.

Ted Kaczynski’s cabin in the woods is no where near as interesting as the idea of Mr. Fu’s “The Cabin in the Woods.”

Ahab has an interesting point on the big support for the 2nd Amendment and firearms possession.  A commenter links to an oldie but a goodie on the relative merits of left versus right.  And Mr. Campfield comes up with yet another compelling reason to carry a firearm at all times.

For some reason I had not visited Instapundit in too long, but I found the origin of the above there.  I have probably missed much.  I missed the URL change too.

The headline reads: “Waterboarding an attraction at amusement park“

To Mr. Fu this means that they have a place where you can get waterboarded.  But it is just some animatronic protest against waterboarding.  Boring!

Where is the animatronic protest against Muslim terrorists showing the guys that jumped out of the World Trade Center, died in the fires, were crushed to death, died in the plane crashes, or had their throats cut?  Three thousand Americans get killed, our military is engaged in a shooting war with the enemy, and these yo-yos focus on three terrorists that had water dripped up their noses.

Apparently not all sheister lawyers follow the sheister lawyer law, “Sheister lawyer shall not betray sheister lawyer.”  And some of them are upset about it.  They were all so impressed with John Edwards:

“He’s hard-working and a good family man. He comes from a humble background, which means he understands the rights of individuals and wants justice for everybody.”

Justice for everybody, yep, except for the parents who wanted to sue their doctors, but their child died.  Or the people in rural areas who need OBs now but cannot get one because the sheister lawyers have driven the malpractice insurance rates through the roof.  Oh, and increased the caesarian section rate through the roof too without lowering the rate of cerebral palsy one bit.

“He’s a sincere person, and that resonates here. He comes from a working-class background and is in touch with regular everyday folks.”

As we know most sincere people cheat on their terminally ill spouses and then send the spouse out to defend them against Ann Coulter.  And everyone with a working class background who lives in a 28,000 square foot house really knows how to stay in touch with everyday folks.  Especially after a $400 dollar haircut and a trip to LA to see the woman you are not seeing anymore.
