I got plenty of pleasure watching Billy Crystal’s intro to the Oscars. A satisfying smile came on my face and a chuckle left my mouth after seeing Michael Moore get crushed by a giant elephant from the Lord of the Rings. That was enough for me. I’ll read the list of winners later tonight when […]
I don’t know how much posting I’ll do this weekend. It’s one of the rare ones where I’m not working. However, it’s filled with activities: the Milwaukee Auto Show; seeing Mel Gibson’s The Passion of Christ (My sis surprised me with the tickets.); doing some reading; and taking a good chunk out of the 1 […]
Overtaken by Events has been weblogging for two years yet has never gotten an Instalanche. Methinks this is his off-handed way of finally getting one. If so, it hasn’t worked.

Kevin (of Reductio Ad Absurdum fame) asks how my compromise would deal with polygamy. It would deal with it by letting states define civil unions as only being between two people, but I know that with legal same sex marriages as a precedent, “anything goes” would eventually become the legal norm. That means that […]
Tom Friedman is right on the money when it comes to outsourcing, globalization, and a growing, dynamic economy:
[W]e must design the right public policies to keep America competitive in an increasingly networked world, where every company — Indian or American — will seek to assemble the best skills from around the globe. And we must […]
You know a gay marriage case will soon reach the Supreme Court (prediction: within two years), and when it comes up media, law professors, and webloggers will be digging into an 1888 Supreme Court case mentioned by Eugene Volokh.

For some so-called French intellectuals it will require an awful Islamist terrorist attack on their homeland before they can truly understand the evil that befell the U.S. on Sep. 11, 2001. How sad.

How about this for a compromise in the gay marriage debate: end state sanctioning of the concept of “marriage.” Instead, have the state recognize homosexual and heterosexual “civil unions” with all rights and privileges that marriage previously had. Let churches, mosques, and synagogues determine what a marriage is and isn’t. It treats all couples as […]
I can’t resist gimmicks involving mediocre photoshop skills. Kerry’s House of Ketchup will be a periodic gathering of interesting John Kerry posts throughout the blogosphere. I hope I don’t put the hex on the Kerry campaign like I might have done to Howard Dean, M.D.’s. Sen. John Edwards is a tougher opponent for President Bush.

State Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager (very distant relative, I believe) ran off the side of the road last night in Dodge County. She was on her way home to Fond du Lac from Madison. Police found her and had her breate into a breathalyzer. She was at 0.12, 0.04 over the legal limit. Dodge County […]
There’s good and bad economic news:
U.S. factory production will increase this year at the fastest pace since 1999, the National Association of Manufacturers forecast Monday.
But some 1.4 million factory jobs lost since 2001 are not coming back, even as many companies begin to hire for the first time in four years, said Jerry Jasinowski, president […]
