- That 84-year-old New Hampshire doctor won’t get her license back — on the thin excuse that she “surrendered it voluntarily.”
- Is Chief Justice Roberts a secret liberal? If not, then why does he v*te so often in lockstep with Ruth Bader Ginsberg?
- Oopsie. Project Veritas badly botches a sting and makes the WaPo look good.
- In case you didn’t already know it, Scientific American has descended to junk science — this time on guns (no surprise).
- Considering a gift of a mini survival kit? Survival Mom has some reviews. (And I have the Amazon links.)
- Props to New Zealand cop recruiters for their creativity and sense of humor.
Socialist American has been a junk science rag for decades. I dropped my subscription in the early ’90s. This isn’t exactly the first time they’ve pushed gun control either.
Ars implies the Konopka ruling was just issued yesterday. But the Boston Globe seems to suggest Superior Court Judge John Kissinger actually issued his ruling back on Wednesday, November 15. It appears Dr. Anna Konopka then filed a Motion for Reconsideration exactly one week later, on Wednesday, November 22, and that NHPR finally got around to reporting on it yesterday.
If the Globe is right, that would suggest to me Dr. Anna Konopka intends to take it to the NH State Supreme Court. But we’ll see.
In other legal news, it appears the fed Supremes will soon get to compare decorating license plates with decorating wedding cakes.
Iffen this ain’t Heinlein’s Crazy Years, it’ll do ’til they get here. What bugs me is how bunches of people think that this is the way things are supposed to be. I have great difficulty with that idea.
decorating license plates
That’s freedom for you. On one side we have the politician who thinks freedom is so important he’s going to force everyone to have it on their license plates, and on the other side is the guy who doesn’t believe he’s free so he demands the freedom to remove it from his license plates.
You ain’t just whistlin’ through your eyeteeth, Deserat. Heinlein and Gibson were nothing short of got-the-memo-from-Metatron prophets a far as I’m concerned. The Crazy Years are here, and as a former Dormitory Manager at a boarding HS with a large contingent of media-addicted students I can tell you that the Black Shakes are absolutely real. My real worry is Nehemiah Scudder.
No kidding re The Crazy Years. Nearly every day I’m reminded of them while going over the Drudge headlines, at least two or three of which nearly always top Heinlein’s.

And then there’s poor Claire, trying to come up with crazy plot elements for her new RebelFire novel.
Ohhhhh, you guys are so right — and you in particular, larryarnold.
I had to give up writing satire long ago because the political world became so completely self-satirizing. These days I’m amazed at those who can do “speculative fiction” successfully.
