Sorry for the meager output over the past few days. The muse has been silent. Back soon.

Here are a few items that have piled up:

— Goodnight Dune.

— An outstanding reactionary essay by Richard Weaver. (Worth a post of its own, when time permits.)

— Tornado passing through.

— A handy chart.

— Building the Pyramids.

— Your tax dollars at work.

— “Spengler” on GÁ¶del and God.

— Ten strange books.

— The estimable Deogolwulf on the atomization of the modern man.

— Courtesy of hbd_chick, a roundup of reactions to Nicholas Wade’s new book on genes and race.

— Handy diagnostic method.

— I hope this is ours.

— Science predicts fashion. (Got the 80’s about right, anyway.)

— Ranking the world’s nations by drunkenness.

    For all you who’ve been worried Secretary Sebelius was likely to have some trouble finding a new job – stop your fretting.
