18. January, 2006 - cold?
- This morning I read how Lileks thinks it’s cold outside. I think we’ve been spoiled this year. I’m too lazy to go look it up, but I don’t think we’ve had a temperature below zero yet in 2006. It’s freakin’ January in Minnesota! In a normal year, yesterday’s temperatures would have been nearly enough to get people outside in shorts and t-shirts, but because we’ve had 20-some days with temperatures 20-some degrees above normal, a day when we’re only five or ten degrees above normal causes people to freak out about the cold. [lileks]
- Wanna know all about that sound you make when things go wrong that isn’t D’Ohh! The Aargh Page has the answers, along with the blog entry that explains it. [jwz]
- So a while back, all the cool kids started tagging their posts. Tags were hot. Now Alex Bosworth takes a look at Social Bookmarking Vs Spam and has some good comments about it. Social Software is stuff that gets spammed. [vowe]
- Stephen Green takes a look at The Persian Problem, and points out that he’d offered solutions a couple years ago. [vodkapundit]
- Warren wants to Free the Hookers. Works for me. He also has More on Surveillance & Detention, which he points out that foreigners are humans too, and that while the Bush administration’s snooping may be legal, it ain’s right. He wraps up the trifecta with a Great Coburn Press Release in which Tom Coburn tries to eliminate earmarking in federal budgets. [coyote blog]
- John Boehner, who’s running for the house leadership, also wants to Keep Politics Kosher by eliminating earmarks and says
Government is too big and controls too much money.
Amen, brother. [instapundit]
