Assortment

1) One of my favorite bloggers, Jennifer Rubin, puts the vote to commence debate on the Senate health care bill in context.

2) Donald Douglas has a photo of a t-shirt with a first-rate message (now THAT’s a slogan!)

3) Bob Belvedere has a great Rule 5 photo-spread of Angie Dickinson (plus a tragic look at the deadly combination of Botox and sneezing).

4) Monique Stewart wonders if Rahm Emanuel might actually be right about something.

5) Richard McEnroe introduces what, I hope, will become a new Olympic event.

6) Frank Furedi has written an interesting article on the fetishization of change in education (this ominous phenomenon also has broad applications outside of education – for example, politics, as I need hardly point out).

7) “Indecent” or “inappropriate”? The difference may be more important than you think.

8) And here's Mark Steyn, via Blue Crab Boulevard. In this article, Steyn deals with...well, does it really matter? Steyn is excellent on everything.

Angie's like a fine wine--I think she got better with age. She was always a classy dame.

Thanks for the link.

PS: Waiting on the next installemnt of Det. Paco.

Forgot to ask: have you been reading Steyn's month-long celebration of Mercer?

Paco said...

Bob: Yes, I have been trying to follow the Mercer celebration. Great songwriter (and pretty good singer, too).

Mark Stein is the best writer I've ever come across. (Present company excepted of course!)
His diabolical wit and his vivisection of The Political Correct BS is outstanding. I read him every day and fortunately he keeps it coming.

PS: I'm with Bob. What's going on in Detective Paco's office? Surely he's on an under-cover assignment yet to revealed?

I am currently mulling over some Detective Paco scenarios. The old fellow is currently waiting for the hole in his fedora to be patched (which hole resulted from Wronwright's insistence on showing Sheila the proper way to clean a Colt 1911).
