Unscrewing The Inscrutable has a rather detailed look at the peak oil problem. For something that has such a huge potential for catastrophe, it certainly doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

12 Days of Xmas, VII
Posted in Holiday on December 22, 2004 |
For the first time in almost seven years, I may actually have a white Christmas. Of course, since the phrases “snow plow” and “salt truck” are apparently foreign to Memphis, I may also be iced in until Christmas.

It turns out anti-choicers are good for something after all – they can be put to work making money for Planned Parenthood.

Kevin asks about favorite Christmas songs, so I figured I’d post my list, too. In no particular order (except the first, which is a hands-down favorite): The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole. You probably know it as the “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire” song. Any version not by Nat King Cole simply pales [...]
Left Behind is Back!
Posted in Culture on December 21, 2004 |
Fred Clark, desperate to complete his fascinating critique of the morally execrable Left Behind series before the sun goes supernova, has posted another installment. It covers one line of the book.
