- An appeal to Mets fans from MetsGrrl, with photos.
- Via the Sideshow, a collector of pinball machines. Did I mention a visit to the Pacific Pinball Museum? Cool place.
- Conservative principles of health care, in case you thought Alan Grayson was kidding (ie, don't get sick, but if you do, die quickly). Expounded by an actual conservative. Via Echidne of the Snakes, who quotes him and then reacts:
If you cannot pay for a procedure in the private market-place you will not get it, whatever the seriousness or non-seriousness of your condition. It is the government that you will turn to, then, but Cantor doesn't like that at all. I think he prefers a world where the dying lie outside the gates of the rich. It's Biblical.
- At Noli Irritare Leones, a little checklist for possible conspiracies:
Apparently Andrew Sullivan is mumbling about something that doesn't pass this test.- How many moving parts are required to maintain the conspiracy? How plausible is it that such a number of moving parts could be coordinated, for such a length of time, without the whole conspiracy being blown out of the water? [...]
- Does the conspiracy require participants to act contrary to reasonable human motivations or to their own likely self-interest?
- Does the preponderance of evidence actually support the theory that this conspiracy is real, or does most evidence point in the other direction?
Fitful decluttering. No wonder I can never find my bills...
