Brews I Hope No One Will Use

There must be a special circle in Dante's hell for folks like this: > At the suggestion of a fifth-grader, Sen. Bill Alter has entered a bill that would ban the sale of beer at temperatures lower than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The idea is to lower the

Ice the Babies

Further taking control of the uncontrollable and thereby further screwing everything up: > Young career women will soon be routinely freezing their eggs so they can have children after their fertility has declined, experts are predicting. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4586838.stm]

Book of Daniel

I just figured NBC's Book of Daniel was offensive to all Christians, but apparently not. The Episcopalians are so happy about it that they've started their own blog (The Book of Daniel Blog [http://blog.edow.org/weblog/]) to defend it and respond to (attack) traditional

Eve Tushnet offers a personal review of 2005 [http://eve-tushnet.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_eve-tushnet_archive.html#113660514234272638] . Pretty good stuff.

Historical Miniature

The LA Times this weekend has a great article about the predecessor of King Kong [http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/cl-ca-ingagi8jan08,0,6475224.story?coll=cl-home-more-channels] : Ingagi. > As only a handful of zoos and circuses exhibited apes during the early 20th century, movies featuring

The 68ers

Even a leftist at a Seattle alternative newspaper decries the Stalinist wannabes who have taken over Europe [http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=25924]: > How did Western Europe come to be ruled by monolithic ideologues? Short answer: the "'68ers," which is what Europeans call those

Brews You Can Use III

Another gem from The Modern Drunkard: The 86 Rules of Boozing [http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/01-02/01_02_booze_rules.htm]. Select excerpts: > 3. Whoever buys the shot gets the first chance to offer a toast. > 10. Do not make eye contact with the bartender if
