Housekeeping note: Cranky Lit Prof is one of the funniest bloggers I've run across. She's disappeared from the TMR roll only because she seems to have taken her blog private.

EDIT: Might as well redo the whole list while I'm at it.

The March of Science

I tend to believe the research showing modern humans carry neanderthal DNA. If true it certainly explains a lot.

A small addendum to the raisin bran post: I see by the news that yesterday's market fiascoes have led EuroSoc central bankers to promise TWO scoops of money for Greece.

Next up: The same for Portugal, then Spain.

And I simply cannot believe how how silent, how stoic, my Irish brothers of the bog are being as Brussels prints Euros at warp speed for other economic basket cases. What the heck ever happened to the pike upon me shoulder spirit?

Come, let us reason together

Gunners and libertarians in this corner of Blogopolis spend a good deal of time in straightforward logical exposition. The object is usually to promote reasonable discussion. But what real chance does logical discourse have in a nation wherein the greatest cereal company, a $13 billion behemoth, found vast new riches in a melodic "Two scoops of raisins in a box of Kelloggs..."?

For 20 years.

Maybe it is better to run around open carrying on the outside of your wookie suit.
