PDS Update

Althouse has an update on the Trig Truther controversy - otherwise known as the Crazy Test - if you buy into those hypotheses (NOT theories), you really are crazy.

A relatively minor correction - Palin had SOME leakage of amniotic fluid, not "water breaking" - it's a matter of degree. The first is a concern, but NOT mandating an immediate trip to the emergency room.

I like the way Althouse smacks down one of Andrew Sullivan's comments:

If the Bridge To Nowhere is worth checking out, why aren't the pregnancy's bizarre details?


Althouse delivers the ultimate blow:


Because the Bridge to Nowhere involved public, government actions, and the pregnancy was something happening inside her body as a result of purely private behavior.
Ya'know, all that stuff about A Woman's Right to Privacy?

Then, later, after lunch, maybe a little Roku.

Winter Break? Bah, Humbug!

I work in a public school.  As a result, I've occasionally been corrected - very gently, I must say - when I refer to the 2 week vacation at the end of the year as "Christmas Break". Oh, no, I am informed, it's a GENERIC holiday celebration (I generally refrain from pointing out that HOLIDAY is a variant of the original HOLY DAY).  Just happens that SO many important holidays occur around this time that it's convenient to adjourn for vacation. I always respond by saying, "I'll call it Winter Break the very first year that it DOESN'T include Christmas". Christmas is the ONLY reason for the break - it comes at a bad time, just before the end of the semester.  It would make FAR more sense to delay the vacation for another week, give the tests, then adjourn for a between-semesters vacation. Won't happen.  Parents (most of them taxpayers and/or voters) would have the school boards roasted - like chestnuts - for daring to implement the sensible swi...
