No humor before Christ

[mindstalk]

* No, really. Andy Schafly says so. From james_nicoll

* Also fun: Liberal Denials about history, and Why do non-conservatives exist?

This is all good timing after Posner elegy for intellectual conservatism.

* More on the "Democratic Socialist Party".
* Senate's acting up in appointments, first blocking an environmental lawyer for Interior, and now a rule of law advocate for Justice.

In happier thoughts:
* Police chief against prohibition
* Steven Brust reads the Wealth of Nations
* John Quiggin's refutations of economic doctrines
* Hunter-gatherer wiki

And
* Awesome Avatar fanfic comic. Warning: 446 pages. Features Zhao.
