About the death of Gloria Steinem, “Feminist Icon”

Hello from the Beautiful Pacific Northwest. News that might interest you.

It has been a very eventful week, here in the warm, smoky, increasingly uncomfortable Seattle area. The most prominent news has concerned the air quality (horrible from wildfire smoke from BC and Eastern Washington), temperature (highs in the 80s), and traffic congestion from the "normal" road closures for construction and accidents. Every day brings headlines …

My, My, My, Aren’t we Prescient!

It seems that just yesterday, I wrote a post right here about the poor conditions in Washington's forests making them primed for wildfires.

Guest Author: Cynical Publius on the courses he would teach at Johns Hopkins if they hire him for “ideological diversity”

It appears that Johns Hopkins University is making an effort to leaven the 100% Leftist slant of its faculty with some "conservative" additions (scare quotes mine, since this has been tried elsewhere and not succeeded). His list of courses is hilarious, and right on target. And, of course, there's a ZERO chance the university would …
