Gold

I have always been fascinated with gold. Not so much the stuff itself but rather the excitement some people feel looking for gold. It’s fitting that one of the largest gold plays in the world is in Nevada. Nevada Gold combines the gamble with the huge reward in the state gambling made.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY: “We are Iraqis, and Al Qaeda came from outside our borders. They defame the name of the noble resistance inside Iraq,” - “Abu Omar”, the nom de guerre of a member of the Islamic Army in Abu Ghraib. The enemy is not just evil; it’s also dumb. In that lies the […]

A more inspiring image.

Hey, I don’t want that last picture sitting at the top of the blog all day, while I go out and live in the real world. So how about this:

It’s all yours for $1.2-million.

Slow-cooked bog bodies.

Mummified by peat moss. We learn some interesting things about these well-preserved people from 2,000 years ago. One used “a type of Iron Age hair gel; a vegetable plant oil mixed with a resin,” and another was “horrifically tortured before death.”

Truthiness and heart-feeling.

The most useful word of the year is “podcast,” says the panel of linguist, but they still pick, for word of the year: “truthiness.”
Also in contention were “whale tail” and “muffin top,” both of which have to do with the way young women mis-wear their pants.
The linked CNN article — which shoehorns in every possible […]

Tierney on the Florida vouchers case.

John Tierney writes (from behind the TimesSelect wall) about the Florida voucher case (which we were talking about here yesterday):
Democrats once went to court to desegregate schools. But in Florida they’ve been fighting to kick black students out of integrated schools, and they’ve succeeded, thanks to the Democratic majority on the State Supreme Court.
The court’s […]

Metallica to drag the miner back to life.

Music played for Randal McCloy Jr., the sole survivor of the mine disaster.
Occasionally smiling and laughing, [his wife, Anna said] that she found strength in faith and had no doubt that he would recover.

“It’s amazing, it’s a miracle,” she said of his survival. “Faith plays a big role. Without it, we wouldn’t be coping. It’s […]

“We are Iraqis, and Al Qaeda came from outside our borders. They defame the name of the noble resistance inside Iraq.”

Said Abu Omar, an Iraqi insurgent. The NYT reports that we are in talks with the insurgents:
…to take advantage of rifts in the insurgency, particularly between local groups, whose main goal is to expel American forces, and the more radical groups, like Al Qaeda, which have alienated many Iraqis by the mass killing of Iraqi […]

The scientist who discovered LSD.

Turns 100.
“It’s very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature,” [Albert Hofmann] said, listing to the right in a green armchair that looked out over frost-dusted fields and snow-laced trees. A glass pitcher held a bouquet of roses on the coffee table before him. “In the big cities, there are people who have never […]

LOSING IT AT THE MOVIES: When you see this trailer, you’ll either start choking up, or think that Hollywood’s exploitation of tragedy has finally gone too far. I choked up.
Also, if you didn’t much care for Jarhead (I didn’t) it’s because you can’t see the bright line running backward from Sam Mendes’ work to Sartre, […]

“BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME” DERANGEMENT SYNDROME?: Andy McCarthy penned a truly strange column over at National Review yesterday. The gist is that we shouldn’t be suckered in by Bush critics’ fixation on little technicalities like “whether electronic searches were authorized by warrant” because the rabid, Bush-deranged liberal mainstream media would have pitched a hissy fit […]

THE COVERT OPTION: Matt Yglesias flags an excerpt from James Risen’s new book, in which it’s revealed that the CIA may have given the Iranians defective blueprints for a nuclear bomb, in the hopes that this would send their nuclear program down a primrose path to failure.
