Jan. 28, 2005 - Some quick advice for Larry Summers: Freedom of Speech is wonderful but you better watch what you say or you'll end up in a re-education camp; AKA "sensitivity training." I still haven't found the section of the Constitution that says "Freedom of Speech is OK, but just don't say anything that might offend those on the Left who are intolerant. If you are a Liberal, it is OK, however, to persistently accuse people on the Right of being intolerant all the while being intolerant yourself." Some are quick to lecture others on tolerance yet, too often, those lecturers cannot bear to hear anything that they don't agree with. Storming out of the room and having a fit because someone suggests a theory that you don't agree with to explain a fact is not tolerance. By suggesting that biological differences between men and women (we can agree that men and woman are different, can't we?) might explain why men seem to do better in math and science is an idea that should provoke thought, not a temper tantrum. In observing Nancy Hopkins' tirade, maybe one should suggest that woman are more likely to spin into convulsion when someone says something they don't agree with. To prove that theory, we don't even need science.

News reports are saying that as many as 80% of Iraqis may vote this Sunday. Even if that number is, say, 55% , it would still be a higher turnout than we in the U.S. get in ANY election. I don't want any Liberal media to spin a 55% turnout as a negative when we in the U.S. cannot convince more than 55% of the registered voters to vote.

Those poor people in Boston; 30 inches of snow since January 19th and more than 20 dead in Massachusetts alone because of the storms. I'd hate to see how deadly the storms would have been without global warming limiting the storm to only 2 1/2 feet. What a relief. Locally, looks like another day in the teens temperature-wise; a good 15 degrees below normal. Sometimes I look in the paper at the daily temperature records for my area and I'll see something like the record high for this date was 58 in 1960. I wonder if people back then panicked and lectured us on global warming. Of course they didn't. George W. Bush was just a teenager then.
