Another Setback for Free Speech

The House has voted 218-209 for more restrictions on our freedom of speech. National Review editorializes:

Genuine Generosity

The images and stories coming out of New Orleans are just awful. It is nearly impossible to scroll through the pictures without tearing up (of course, I sometimes tear up watching Puppy Chow commercials).
Anyway, the politicians will be pledging lots of taxpayer money and accepting accolades for their generosity. If you want to [...]

Exercise and Aging

I consider myself fit for my advancing years (although I wouldn’t consider running 50 miles). Now comes this study (subscription):
