Posted 20 minutes ago
In hindsight, another six laps (or lengths if you want to nitpick) might have been possible. I jumped in the pool at the UT Student Aquatic Center this morning during the first Swim For Life event despite my dislike for going shirtless in public. There were many other swimmers, most of whom were under 18.The lanes were designated from slow ... [Link]

Dr Jim West » I’m So Tired of Bailing out The Greedy With Taxpayer Money
Posted 90 minutes ago
It’s gotten to the point of ridiculousness. First we’ve been forced to bail out the mortgage companies because self absorbed nitwits thought ‘flipping houses’ would be their golden highway to a quick buck.

You put those resources in rough combination (frenemies competing and collaborating economically and security-wise) and there's no question that there's enough Core-wide resources to pool against the tasks of shrinking the Gap. You put them ... [Link]

Posted 102 minutes ago
‘If I see that a thing is written from love of God and one’s neighbor, I overlook many errors. …  [But] I do make two exceptions, Emser and Eck, for they are pests in the teachings of Christ.  Their own wanton recklessness has forced me to write pretty sharply against them and by name.’ [Link]

Here's to a globalization-centric grand strategy for America Americans suspect grand motives behind foreign policy.

As a result, most of America's strategic choices are driven by the decisions of others. Our ... [Link]
