[Full Comment] Raphael Alexander: Damaging the economy to please ...: We're used to reading about silly articles that suggest ways of saving the planet from global warming, the omnipresent threat that is always on the verge of the tipping point, but never quite tips right over. The latest evidence of environmental insanity is rearing its ugly head in Great Britain, where “Britain's first employee carbon rationing scheme” fines workers for exceeding their personal emission target.

[Populist Party Blog] The Ugly Truth: America's Economy is Not Coming Back ”” Populist ...: I see the problem that brought on this mess as coming from those who have the clout to stick it to you.  Wages?  When I worked for a company some time back they scoured the Asian market for families to make parts by furnishing labor only, everything else was furnished.  They may have been getting 20 cents per hour.  And all their children were working.  When people start talking about foreign workers being a bargain because “wages” are too high here, that’s sheer baloney.  Unless you want to spell it greed.

[Sepia Mutiny] Ash and Abhishek on Oprah: "The Most Famous Couple In THE WORRLD ...: Just like yellow skin is the defining characteristic of the Chinese nation and white skin is the defining characteristic of the Aryan nation.All we need is a few million tanning booths, and we shall make the whole world India.(Former)Africans, being uniformly extra dark, as you rightly pointed out,would be the hyper nationalists in this new world order.Of course, we would face stiff competition from the Chinese in this endeavor, who would undoubtedly unleash hepatitis to colour the whole world yellow, but will be thwarted (by the grace of goddess Kali) when the hole in the ozone layer grows sufficiently large.They would then find it too late to catch up.

[Free Canuckistan!] Steynian 383: It’s beyond ironic and short-sighted that the fascistic and Marxist ideology behind much modern same-sex victimology and self-identification led to the persecution and execution of gays in such left-wing regimes. Democracy and Christian love and mercy and forgiveness–

[Hack a Day] Seawater cooled data centers - Hack a Day: A silly but honest rough estimation for heat getting in the oceans would be: Sun 1,000,000,000 kWh, vs a large data center at 1 or 2 million kWh. If you have 500 solar panels, and 10000 toaster oven’s in that datacenter, the amount of heat would not be that much more than the heat energy provided by the sun in the 500 solar panel’s square area of ocean.

[Mises Economics Blog] Britain's Stern Review on Global Warming: It Could Be ...: This is the Ron Bailey who in 2002 edited a CEI book titled "Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths: How the Environmental Movement Uses False Science to Scare Us to Death", but then in August last year ran an article titled "We're All Global Warmers Now", with a first line that read: "Anyone still holding onto the idea that there is no global warming ought to hang it up."

[Balloon Juice] Balloon Juice » Blog Archive » Celebrity: For example, I’ve been writing like I have a stick up my @ss tonight because I’ve been reading academic journal articles all day, and the one pretty much follows from the other. It’s the silly stuff that some of these people push, like the old bit about “split infinitives”, taken from trying to impose the rules of Latin on English;

[Liberal Democrat Voice] Real Women policy paper debate: live blog #ldconf: (I omitted these from the live blog as I’m not sure they will have all thought through, “If I say this to conference, it may be on the internet for years for anyone who knows them to see as my child grows up”. Perhaps they had, but I decided in the midst of the debate blogging best to err on the side of caution.) I can’t recall anyone talking about it being just a symbolic act / sending of a message.

[Ventnor Blog] Big Blue Sky - And No Hot Air | Isle of Wight News:Ventnor Blog: I’d really like to hear comments from people who’ve looked at David MacKay’s book, not just to reinforce their own views but to try and really understand the issues, who’ve grappled with the numbers, and then come up with suggestions for how we might actually DO SOMETHING.

[ExodusMD Blog by Dr. Richard Moss] Health Care Dystopias: And yet, 90% of Americans not on Medicare or Medicaid get their health insurance through their job, an anachronism based on government policy during WW II (another one of those unintended consequences of government policy, like so many others, that in this case has distorted thoroughly our health care system much to its detriment). At the time, because of wage controls in place under FDR, companies could compete for limited workers only by offering health insurance. 

[The Rates Blog] Blogging On Interest Rates, Economics & Business in New Zealand: If in doubt react and safe guard you assets. Are your investments covered by the Govt deposit guarantee?

[Cafferty File] Cafferty File: Tell Jack how you really feel Blog Archive - Should ...: Moammar Gadhafi speech to the UN today (if you listen to all of it, not just picked sound bites, like Kinnedy and jet lag thing) is not only truthful as compared to the typical UN hypocritical speeches, but it is also important to educate the Western so called “Middle East Experts” and their ignorant in Chief Bush who said Muslims hate the West because they hate American freedom and Democracy (unless Democracy means Abu Gharib, “Shock and Awe” and invasion of defenseless countries based on lies…).

[Whatanews4u.Sports] BBC - Digital Revolution Blog: Aleks Krotoski on the web rewiring ...: Now, even if we were to exclude the technical fathers of computing, the Web and its key tools in the digital natives definition (people like TBL, Vint Cerf, Alan Kay, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jimmy Wales, Marc Andreessen, Jeff Bezos, Niklas Zennström, Max Levchin, Jerry Yang, Larry Ellison, Pierre Omidyar, Linus Torvalds et al) --- for the purpose of my attempt to provide another perspective to the UCLA findings, the assumptions about digital natives are still not as spot on as they should be.

[Kia-World blog :: Kia Owners Forums] Frankfurt preview: Kia to unveil new Venga and hybrid versions of ...: Also making their first appearance at Frankfurt are the new-look Kia cee’d Hybrid and the new Kia Sorento Hybrid concept cars. Created at Kia’s European R&D Centre as research “tools”, these vehicles will be tested over many thousands of kilometres across Europe and will generate data for inclusion in the design process of Kia vehicles during the next decade.

[Cafferty File] Cafferty File: Tell Jack how you really feel Blog Archive - Should ...: Instead, in light of failing public education, require every student past 5th grade to have a newspaper everyday with related course work. It’s literature, history, math, social studies, politics etc., in your face and keeping it real to quash the boredom and disaffection that plaques public education.
