100 movies: Splice
Splice (27/07/10)
I’ll admit it. I was curious about this movie. For that alone, I was slightly ashamed of myself! It looked like the kind of film I shouldn’t really go and see and tell people I had seen it. After seeing the film there are bits in it which were a little bit uncomfortable and [...]
Raindrops keep fallin’
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by [...]

The Daily Wrap
Today on the Dish, Andrew followed up on his neoconservative pitch for Palestine, went toe-to-toe with Frum over Turkey, dropped his jaw at Bush's profligacy abroad, sounded off on energy reform, added to a discussion on government inertia, and defended his provocative record. A new paper appeared to prove that the administration prevented a depression. Oil [...]
Beneath The Waves
The oil on the surface of the gulf is shrinking, which is welcome news. But Susan Shaw continues to worry about the deep sea:
More caveats here. Kate Sheppard reports on natural gas, which was "some 40 percent of what is escaping from the well":
In the 10-mile radius around the well site, research teams have
measured [...]
A Clean Slate
Timothy Lee applies the pitfalls of urban planning more generally:
The problem with trying to make society conform with reason is that
society is a lot more complicated than most planners realize. So what
looks on paper like a perfectly rational social order—8-lane freeways,
US-imposed democracy in Iraq, the dictatorship of the proletariat—turns
out to have fatal flaws when put [...]

Turkey’s Importance, Or The Lack Thereof
Frum puts aside David Cameron's criticism of Israel to bash Cameron's kind words on Turkey:
Turkey is not determined to fight terrorism in all its forms, not when it is sending flotillas to support Hamas. Germany and Russia are European countries with much more important trade and strategic relationships with Iran. Egypt
has much greater potential to [...]
The Other Affirmative Action, Ctd
A reader writes:
It's amazing to me how much of this discussion focuses on trying to address class-based AA at the level of university education. What about how the relationship between property values, property taxes, and K-12 funding? Are conservatives in favor of equalizing that to even out class-based advantages in primary education, where it can [...]
Will Seniors Come Around On The Health Care Bill?
January Angeles defends the Medicare changes:
Reducing the overpayments will … help enrollees by making Medicare’s
long-term finances more stable. Along with other Medicare changes in
the new law, it will extend the life of the Medicare Hospital Insurance
Trust Fund by 12 years and keep beneficiary premiums lower.

Breaking News: The Vatican Is Super-Gay, Ctd
A reader writes:
The bubble popped for me two years ago. My still-practicing Catholic friends tell me compartmentalize. The Vatican is not Your Church, forget about them.
Intellectually I can understand this rationale. But in my heart, compartmentalization does not jive because I know each of our lives is interconnected.
I still have enough faith to believe [...]
