Next, Janet Reno will be saying that her Justice Department did everything right in preventing the Oklahoma City bombing, too, because McVeigh was apprehended, tried, convicted, and executed.

Fire Janet Napolitano

’Nuff said.

How 747s are Made

I recently finished reading James Perloff's Tornado in a Junkyard: The Relentless Myth of Darwinism.

I found the chapter titled “Dinosaurs, Dragons and Ice” to be a little far-fetched, but this was more than offset by the following chapter, titled “Trial by Hollywood”, on the differences between the movie Inherit the Wind and the actual Scopes “monkey trial”.

All in all, a pretty good book and an effective critique of the myth of Darwinian evolution.

What’s up with Google? What is it about religious expression, and conservative expression in general, that scares Google?

I first became aware of this upon reading articles about Google ignoring 9/11.

Today, on Christmas, their logo features the sun, a stylized space shuttle, and a big peace sign superimposed over the moon. What’s up with that? Where is the Christmas in that?











Update: Here’s Bing’s image from December 25:

Luke 2:1-20

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!”

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Choice and Competition

If you think that all of the current crop of private health insurance companies are “mean” and “evil”, then start your own “nice” private health insurance company.

If you’re right, then customers will flock to your company.

Oh, that’s right, government over-regulation and state mandates raise the barriers to entry too high.

The solution is not to expand government-run healthcare. The solution is to lower the barriers to competition among private health insurance companies.

The Death of Healthcare Innovation

Why do you want to impose single-payer, universal healthcare on the United States?

Do you want to kill healthcare innovation in this country and throughout the world?

From where do you think future healthcare innovation will come if the United States moves to single-payer, universal healthcare?
