Four months since my last post without a word of explanation That s terrible! What the heck happened Well, for one thing, I became a dad. Is there any more surprising or absorbing event than the birth of your first child Probably not. No matter how much you try to anticipate it, there s no way to predict the way it s going to feel.

Yesterday, I wondered how many of the three winners of the Nobel prize in economics were Jewish. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science to Leonid Hurwicz, 90 years old, a retired professor at the University of Minnesota, who told reporters he thought his chances at the honor had faded; Eric S.

Schulz and Peanuts Writing for the Wall Street Journal, Bill Watterson (remember him) provides a thoughtful and very positive review of David Michaelis' new biography Schulz and Peanuts (which, need I remind you, comes out tomorrow): It's a strange and interesting story, and Mr. Michaelis, the author of a 1998 biography of artist N.C. Wyeth, paces the narrative well, offering many insights and surprising events from Schulz's life. Undoubtedly the most fascinating part of the book is the juxtapos …

Firstly Colin Miles the man who owns the record company never gets anybody less than really good to write the sleeve notes.

Cap'n Ed, one of the few local wingnuts who occasionally slips the bonds of movement conservatism to express genuinely conservative thoughts, links to General Sanchez's entire speech. [warning: all caps and hard to read] A cynic would point out that it behooves movement conservatives to lash out at the "mainstream media," and Ed goes on to reinforce that message, even though Sanchez's speech makes the media criticism fairly moot. The real problem with our media, of course, isn't that the media i …

I think it's time to put together a series on leftist icons and the reality behind them. For the first entry, I choose Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu. The fact that she's a fraud hasn't much diminished Rigoberta Menchu's status with the PC Left. She didn't have to give back her Nobel Peace Prize and her book is still quite the hit with the stooges of Academia. Her story is just too "good", so its veracity, in the tradition of agit-prop, matters little. Who cares, eg. that her allege …

A week after we returned on September 12, I described what it was like to be back. You can find …
