Bookselling
Bishop Hill (Free subscription) | yesterday
With America at Thanksgiving this weekend the Climategate pace has slowed slightly, allowing me to take stock of where I am. Blog traffic has been unbelievable, and it's been fascinating to see the relative power of old-new-media (like Instapundit; my first Instalanche!) and the new-old-media sites like the newspaper blogs. Thanks to everyone for the links. I've also had some interest from big media....

Health privatisation in the UK?
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Catgirls (Free subscription) | yesterday
Via Instapundit , story here . Quite surprising to see such a position in the print media. Money quote; What, indeed, is to stop the Department of Health from selecting the 10 worst-performing hospitals in the country (though getting accurate data by which to measure their iniquity is clearly, for the moment, a problem) and putting them all out to tender to the private sector?

Major Nidal Malik Hassan's enabler
Israel Matzav (Free subscription) | yesterday
Mark Steyn nails the political correctness that led to the Fort Hood massacre earlier this month (Hat Tip: Instapundit): Major Hasan couldn’t have been more straightforward about who and what he was. An army psychiatrist, he put “SoA”—i.e., “Soldier of Allah”—on his business card. At the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, he was reprimanded for...

The Tiger Woods thing
Fore Left! (Free subscription) | 29/11/2009
Gossip is not the bane of this blog nor is golf (despite the title) but this Tiger Woods thing is too interesting to pass up for a variety of reasons. No surprise it took 12 hours to get the story out--Woods is not only the world's best golfer but an international corporation based on image. Instapundit pointed to a recent deal with Dubai, for instance. Then there's his standard endorsement

Climate Science and the Inner Ring
Chicago Boyz (Free subscription) | 28/11/2009
It now seems clear that many climate scientists have shown a most unscientific lack of interest in following the data wherever that data may lead, coupled with an unwholesome eagerness to disregard and to disrespect the opinions of anyone outside of a closed circle of “experts.” In comments on a NYT blog (excerpted at Instapundit), someone [...]

Climategate in sum
WisdomIsVindicated (Free subscription) | 27/11/2009
Climategate is despicable on a host of levels . . . institutional censorship of opposing views, defamation, deception. Here's an excerpt from a great essay at Pajamas Media , "Climategate: The Skeptical Scientist's View": As readers are now aware, the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, the main climate research center in Britain, has had 128 megabytes of secret...

Charles Krauthammer, a backer of universal health care, bemoans the ‘stupefying arbitrariness and inefficiency’ of the Dems’ health-care bill. … The two bills are a long, long way from my Keep It Simple Stupid suggestion . But Dems can’t help themselves. They’ve been obsessed with the means to the end (and not necessarily the goal of universal health, as the Nixon-Kennedy...
