• Bennie Get Your Gun

  —Quid Nimis

  Bill Kristol calls on Ben Nelson to put ObamaCare out of its (and our) misery.

  Which reminds me of my favorite Disney Sad Dog Story, Ol' Yeller.  This clip is the best part of the whole film, except for the part where Travis gets mauled by wild pigs.  If you' [...]

• China still rejects climate commitments

  —SocraticGadfly

  China is still apparently resisting making any concrete commitments at Copenhagen, even to the point of giving U.S. President Barack Obama the cold shoulder.
