I live in a strange & wonderful place.
Year round tremendous turkey vultures criss-cross cloudless skies. Hardly a minute goes by without a six-foot shadow sweeping across the lawn. It sounds creepy, and was at first, but now it makes my heart sing. Recently, I came upon a coven of the monsters, 12 or more, huge animals, perched on low limbs. They weren't frightened of me. I grabbed myself a large branch for a club.
Immigration: Bring Back Assimilation
Assimilation is the real issue. Multiculturalism is horribly misguided.

Multiculturalism is a unicultural phenomenon
"It exists only as a Western fetish, and we don't believe in it, not really... Even hard-core multiculturalists only want to live in a Western society. For one thing, that's the only place you can make a living as a multiculturalist."

WW II Destruction of Japan Continues
Childless Japan is a consequence of a "spiritual" collapse.
It's silly armchair psychology. Maybe they just feel crowded.
Suicide rate is troubling.
More interesting is Japan's weird, unteathered sexuality.
Recent news items include:
* Civil servant hitting a porn site 100,000 while at work
* Groping epidemic on the subways
* Sex-starved housewives seeking anonymous sex
* 12 year old schoolgirls prostituting for pocket money
* The whole Lolita thing
All the while they're not making any babies...
Wikipedia has an entire category on Sexuality in Japan.
WaiWai is an English language digest of Japanese tabloids.
On the other hand, Arab sexuality is not fun.

Chaiten volcano now erupting.
This cheers me. In the same way the antics of the birds out my window cheer me.

Losing Our Spines to Save Our Necks
Sam Harris patiently explains to the kids at The Huffington Post that Islam Is A Very Bad Man Who Especially Hates Liberal Children. The comments are priceless ("But Bush is Hitler!").
Elsewhere, Mark Steyn looks for The Mythical Moderate Muslim.
Libertarian Paternalism
Clever, it sounds like an oxymoron. That's because it is.
Idle academics have another great idea! Engineer society with the "opt-out" model, Fuzzy Big Brother.
You're supposed to be grateful.
The blithe presumption that fellow citizens are helpless, that this kind of government is legitimate... it's galling, but clearly I'm in the minority.

P.J. O'Rourke gives a commencement address.
Stewart Brand: "I've been refining the tools I wear on my belt for 30 years. The current kit is on my bod at all times except in bed and on airplanes."
It needs to be small. I use a fanny pack for wallet, Leatherman tool, cellphone. I want to include a monocular and a camera. I keep thinking of a friend who lived out of a satchel carried Daniel Boone-style.

Woman blamed dog for cutting off penis
I know what you're thinking: what kind of person would falsely accuse a poor dumb animal? But I say there's a bigger issue - namely this fad of clipping. When I want to leave and go home to my own bed, ladies, I swear I'll not feel guilty again. It'll be prudence and you have only yourselves to blame.

Intellectual Wordsmiths
Why do intellectuals promote the collectivist State? This perversity, so contrary to history's lessons, has a very pedestrian explanation: the free marketplace undervalues intellectuals, it 'disses' them. But these "second-hand purveyors of ideas" will have their revenge! Come Utopia, guess who expects to be first among equals....
