My review of Ken McGoogan’s book Ancient Mariner is available at Amazon.com here.
This proves that I do review things that have nothing to do with doctor who. I’ll likely have at least two more book reviews to do by the end of next week. Once lent is done then perhaps I’ll have a new Doctor Who or two to review.
Glenn Reynolds talks about the Pirate situation and notes something:
Funny that nation-states successfully suppressed pirates for years without such troubles, suggesting that the law has not exactly “progressed” in this area.
The problem is the law has progressed. Until the mid 1800’s or so pirates taken in the act on the high seas could be hanged at once without further trial. Remember the Royal Navy has ordered its ships to avoid detaining pirates because they were afraid of violating their human rights.
Expect more of this unless it is treated harshly.
Just woke up, was up till 4 cleaning customer systems. Still connected to one so missed Morning Joe except for the last few minutes where here is some running gag about Andrew being threatened by the FDIC and a Gene Robinson Column going after Michael Steele who is still the butt of jokes.
Quick comment on Steele I just woke up and I don’t know what he said that generated Robinson’s column or even what it says but if past performance if indication of future results nothing would surprise me. We can safely say that we have apparently reached the post racial era at least for republicans since we can ridicule them without worrying about race. Then again that has been true since on the republican side since Clarance Thomas.
8:21 a.m. Who would have known Chris Dodd was in trouble? If the MSN did it’s job it would have been known months before the election as blogs like Instapundit reported on it over and over but the MSN ignored it.
8:25 a.m. Apparently Tarp2 happens without a vote? Joe is Shocked SHOCKED that democrats are doing it.
8:29 a.m. Joe complains he has Obama has no private sector stuff Sen Cronin points out president Obama won.
8:31 a.m. “If you are going to operate on a brain I hope you operated on a brain before.” There is a great line from Drums Along the Mohawk concerning that. I’ll see if I can find the clip. (no sign of it but it goes like this. The General needs his leg cut off and he is being laid down to have it done and he talks to the young doctor:
“Doctor have you ever taken a man’s leg?” “No General” “Well don’t be embarrassed. A man’s got to start somewhere.”)
8:38 a.m. Soros trying to influence the markets? Say it isn’t so!
…running into a burning building to try to save a neighbor. She ended up missing him but only a foot or two and ended up with lung damage, however it is a proud story and it is no less proud now that she is 84.
I suspect if she acted in the way the police did here she would have 40 years of guilt instead.
There is nothing sadder than watching one of the father’s of all cultures commit suicide.
