Isolate Ebola cases on a tiki-themed party barge floating five to ten miles offshore; staff the party barge with RI-MANs. Deliver supplies by drone. This will contain the spread of infection and provide a festive environment in which to die a horrible death. (If you’re wondering why I haven’t mentioned restricting travel from Africa it’s because I’m focused on realistic solutions.). Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Boy's Own Paper.

Laquo; Obama Tries to Out-W, George W. Bush. No Evidence on Syria’s Use of Chemical Weapons. 5 Sep 2013 by Roman Dmowski. Oh, let me count the ways Syria is much like the one we finally extricated ourselves from in Iraq, but where the arguments of the hawks are even less persuasive. Bush was faulted for his failure to exhaust diplomatic options. “Give the inspectors time to act.” “Don’t be a cowboy! 8221; And all the rest. Has diplomacy of any kind been given any serious try in Syria? What have we tried?

Laquo; 20th Century Redux. Ten Years After September 11, 2001. 11 Sep 2011 by Roman Dmowski. Ten years ago today, our country and my family received a terrible blow. We were attacked. Our countrymen were murdered. We were shaken. 9/11 is an important historical event that has defined much of the last ten years, but it was also a family tragedy for me, as my Uncle Donnie Regan. Gave his life that day in the line of duty with the New York City Fire Department. Liberalism Weakens Our Response. To our Muslim...

Laquo; Our Country is Losing It. ISIS Is a Problem, Partly of Our Making. 1 Sep 2014 by Roman Dmowski. There are 20,000 plus belligerents or more on either side of this conflict. Russian troops might be well equipped and professional, but 1,000 of them cannot defeat an army of 20,000 in several weeks. Let’s use common sense.

I've added Pepper, Softbank’s new “humanoid” robot. To my list of enemies; partly because he’s a charlatan who pretends to understand human emotions, but mostly because of his hideous foot. In the event Pepper approaches me or intrudes on my personal space I will, in all likelihood, roundhouse kick him, and this notice releases me from any ensuing legal liability. Links to this post.

Across Difficult Country: Slow News Day
http://acrossdifficultcountry.blogspot.com/2014/07/slow-news-day.html
A reader named Garland forwards an incredible story from Uganda. In a bizarre incident in Nebbi district, a policeman says he was attacked by an aggressive tortoise at his home. Drawing reference from his experience, the policeman advised people to always be on the look-out for any kind of danger. After Onegiu had killed the tortoise, a group of people belonging to the Charismatic faith prayed for him, before burning the dead reptile to ashes. BBC News From Elsewhere updates for this fast moving story.

A Handbook of Greek Mythology. By HJ Rose. A scholarly and wide ranging overview, concisely and skillfully written. Do professors like Rose still exist? Kill or Get Killed. By Col. Rex Applegate. The classic guide to "riot control techniques, manhandling, and close combat". Full of information I look forward to applying in 2015. Lord Byron’s Foot. By George Green. His poems are funny, he’s the contemporary master of ekphrasis, his references range from Pindar to David Lee Roth. The History of Atlantis.

A pair of tortoises set fire to a home in Fordingbridge, the Salisbury Journal reports. Remember how we all laughed at the Ugandan policeman who shot and killed a fleeing tortoise. After it aggressively and violently chased him? Maybe we owe him an apology. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Boy's Own Paper. Le Cinéma du Journal. Theres a vampire moon. 169; C.

Who is the most influential public intellectual of the last twenty-five years? - Marginal REVOLUTION
http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2013/06/who-is-the-most-influential-public-intellectual-of-the-last-twenty-five-years.html
Who is the most influential public intellectual of the last twenty-five years? On June 27, 2013 at 5:07 pm. A while ago I asked a related question. But my answer blew it on one major possibility. Doesn’t Andrew Sullivan have a reasonably strong claim to that title, especially after the recent Supreme Court decisions on gay marriage? Here is a current map of where gay marriage is legal. And very likely there is more to come. Pre-Sullivan, I would give the honors to Milton Friedman. June 27, 2013 at 5:10 pm.
