I’ve had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks

My blog is watched outside, I’m afraid it doesn’t work

I’m looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed

Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be rich?…

John Derbyshire, in a deliberately bloglike column, says many interesting things but also falls prey to a false dichotomy. He basically says, Life in Victorian England was truly lousy, therefore the sexual revolution was good. Eh? Can’t we affirm the first clause, but say that the sexual revolution was exactly the wrong solution to the problems of the past? Similarly, I can spend hours beating up on the corrupt clergy and popes of the immediately pre-Reformation era, without ever thinking that the Reformation itself was a good idea. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. …On a completely different note, Derbyshire mentions New York’s “sunset days,” and says that any city laid out on a grid should have them. Well, if anyone has the requisite time and know-how to calculate D.C.’s sunset or sunrise days, please email me. Thanks.

Lileks of the Infuriating Links: Nifty, nifty Bleat, with true mini-screed postscript. Click now, because I don’t know where that link will be tomorrow.

The Old Oligarch: A fantastic, awesome, must-read post on women’s ordination. It’s long, but it’s worth the time.

Travelling Shoes has a lot of good stuff up there. And a link to this interesting WSJ article on mobile homes.

Jonathan Adler, free-market environmental don, has a website.

It’s kind of like a blogosphere magazine. (Link via InstaPundit I think.)

And a site for teens who think they may be gay. I got the link from E-Pression, and you should read the comments at her site from Mike Hardy–I agree with his criticisms of the site. However, this kind of site is desperately needed, and there’s a lot of courage, common sense, and Christian truth there–perhaps it’s best thought of as a starting point for future attempts.
