Talk about noisy apartments!

No car chases, explosions, big names, CGI graphics, or any of that other Hollywood crap.  Just two guys and a loft apartment.  Magic.

Now THIS is a library!

Selfish bastards

Think vegans are cool?  Their stupid diets sometime starve their children to death. I know a lady here in Texas whose kids’ growth is stunted from being raised on a vegan diet.  Idiot.

“Green” eggs and ‘Bam

The President and his Pet Greenies gear up for the annual Easter Egg Roll, and poetry ensues.

Try the new Totalitarian Diet

Hugo Chavez has a new anti-obesity campaign,  “We are eating better, that’s been proven. We’re leaving malnutrition behind. It no longer exists in the country, but be careful with obesity.”   Think it might have anything to do with this?

Flipping education!

The Amazing Khan does it again with his suggestion to do lectures OUTSIDE class, and “homework” IN class. The guy’s a madman. A wonderful, gifted madman.

Update (28 March).  This must be a big deal inedeed if even cow grazier Gary Jones gets intrigued.

10-yard penalty for a non sequitur

These are priceless:

Shikata ga nai, my ass

Hideaki Akaiwa  is a real Man’s Man, right down to the duct tape.  And somehow he manages it without the usual penis substitutes, like an oversized SUV or a 60-inch flatscreen TV.  Amazing.  And on top of it all, the man has a sense of style:  Ray-Bans and an amime mascot!

Tip from the Instapundit.

Colorful cowboys

I saw some examples of Don Weller’s watercolors in a sandwich shop the other day.  This guy is the real  deal.

Maybe education isn’t the solution to every problem

Frank Fleming thinks our education system is on the wrong track:

Children are taught for 13 years in grade school, and many people want everyone to get at least 4 years of college on top of that. And what exactly do we get out of all this? If someone told me I was going to spend the next 17 years just studying, I’d expect at the end of it all to be Batman — a master of all sciences, languages, and martial arts. We’re lucky if our kids come out of this able to read and with at least one marketable skill.

It gets better.

I need to check Frank’s statistics on teachers and students. 76 million students and 7.2 million teachers. That’s not even an 11:1 ratio, so why all the fuss about budget cuts pushing schools to have classes with 30 or 40 students?
