Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Saw this post about the winter the Northern Hemisphere is having on Powerline, and immediately thought of this movie - what do ya' want to be that it will start being scheduled frequently, as soon as the AGW - Agony, Greed, and Worry climate change people fully embrace their changed tactics.  They can't keep talking about Global Warming, so let's repeat the Next Ice Age stuff that went around in the 1970s - for those who weren't alive then, an uncommonly cold time.

Remember, folks, it's all about the scare and hype - that money doesn't flow in unless you buy into the Bull$&&&.

In For A New Liberty, Murray Rothbard notes that regardless of what condition the economy is in, the Left has only one prescription: socialism. (Joseph Schumpeter put it thus: "Capitalism stands its trial before judges who have the sentence of death in their pockets. They are going to pass it, come what may; the only effect a successful defense can produce is a change in the indictment.") Well, no matter what the weather / climate is doing, the Left has only one prescription: massive central planning and minutest regulation of all human activity, i.e., communism.

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...
