The UK Independent has a fine article skewering the beautiful people that haven't a clue about science:
Scientific illiteracy all the rage among the glitterati

When it comes to science, Barack Obama is no better than many of us. Today he joins the list of shame of those in public life who made scientifically unsupportable statements in 2008.
Closer to home, Nigella Lawson and Delia Smith faltered on the science of food, while Kate Moss, Oprah Winfrey and Demi Moore all get roastings for scientific illiteracy.

I saw a wonderful performance of the Lawrence Academy of Music Girl Choir at the Lawrence Chapel on December 13th. It was so charming and amazing how beautiful they all sounded.
The 3rd and 4th grade Primo Choir all sang in unison with no harmonies or rounds. They were, of course, the most fun to watch as they were the sweetest and most unselfconscious.
The Allegretto Choir are 5th and 6th graders. They sang in simple harmonies and sang a round, "White Sand and Gray Sand", as they came on-stage. The highlight was "The Old Carrion Crow", a favorite of Girl Choirs past.

As you think about your own childhood or that of your children: What is one of your favorite Christmas holiday memories?
(published 22-Dec-2008, Appleton Post-Crescent)

We'd opened our presents and were settling down to play with our new stuff when I announced that there was one more to go. Warning everyone to stay put, I closed the pocket doors.

I dragged it into the hallway outside the living room next to the doors and nipped back into the li ...

Quote of the Day: " was socialistic in every way. It rewarded market failures. It ripped off average families for the sake of billionaires. It was the worst form of Keynesian planning. It was an open conflict of interest, as the ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs funneled vast sums to Goldman Sachs. It had exactly zero chance of helping the economy. In fact, by draining productive private resources necessary for economic recovery, it makes a bad situation worse." -- Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.
