Weekend Music Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man. The music and the dance don't quite fit. To me they're close enough to be a lot of fun. Others may find it annoying. (Hat tip to Michael Potemra of National Review.) I had another song in mind to post tonight, a very beautiful song, full…

One reason I don't talk about politics all that much, and don't talk about economic matters very much at all, is that they're mostly too complex to deal with in a blog post. I think almost all the contending factions have at least some part of the truth, and generally find myself wanting to argue…

For some reason, which I suspect has to do with the anti-virus software on my computer at work, I'm unable to post comments. The one brief one on the Atlantic thread was done in haste from home this morning–I try to check the comments first thing in the morning because spam comments tend to arrive…

Weekend Music I've been thinking I might stop doing this, as I'm so busy these days that I rarely even listen to music. But I happened to run across both these today, by totally unrelated paths, and the juxtaposition was so striking that I'm passing it along. The first was a post by godescalc at There…

Let me explain the new and rather half-baked look. It's been well over a year since I moved this blog to TypePad. I did it in a hurry, because Blogger was making it impossible to continue what I'd been doing. I picked a canned design which I didn't care much for but which at least…

I meant to post something about this book several months ago when it was published, then it slipped my mind. I was reminded of it again tonight when I saw it mentioned on Facebook. I think I'll buy it, as soon as I finish a couple of the other books I've been trying to get…
