Boys may blog and boys may watch
And that’s all right you see;
Experience has made me rich and now they’re after me…
The Agitator: Will Ohioans need an auctioneer’s license to use eBay? (Via Dappled Things. And if you think this is a ridiculous idea, maybe you want to reconsider entry barriers for other economic activities, no? Related link.)
Elayne Riggs: Um… I really appreciate the link, and all, but I’m not a progressive blogger. I think “progressivism” is incoherent as a philosophical concept (progress vs decay can only be judged in relation to an unchanging moral standard) and deeply destructive as an actual existing political movement. I’m a conservative with libertarian nostalgia. I certainly hope that opposing torture and believing in the preferential option for the poor doesn’t disqualify me for those parties… because you know, the punch is stronger on the right. –Or actually, you know, if you want to predict my political stance, I hope the best guide is just to know that I’m Catholic.
Hugo Schwyzer: Interesting points on the changing age of menarche, and on fathers and daughters.
And, ten things: Hugo Schwyzer (money for good and money for evil); PapaFamilias (reader, he married her).
