Chemistry of the Blood
By M.R. DeHaan

Our home school basketball team likely won't have enough players for a team next year.  This presents a substantial problem, thus we brainstormed. And, being the geeks we are, the best idea we came up with was to start a golf team.  We're pathetic.

Cheers to all my fellow 35 handicappers.

We leave Saturday for New Mexico.  We'll spend half a week at Farmington, NM for a pre-regional tournament, then for the second half we jump the border into Durango to go skiing.  I've never been skiing before--well, I was a ski school dropout at six and sort of went down a green or two--and Marshall's never been, but it'll be great.

More posts up at the policy blog and more policy analysis at the now-launched Rebirth of Freedom Foundation.

David Letterman: “Top Messages Left on Fidel Castro’s Answering Machine”: “Yo, it’s Raul. Where’s the key to the humidor?”; “Which fatigues do you want to be buried in, the olive green ones, or the slightly darker olive green ones?”; “It’s Kim Jong Il—when you’re gone, can I have your Playstation?”; “Mel Gibson here. I think we both know who’s responsible for this.”; “Does this mean you’re dropping out of ‘Dancing With The Stars’?”; “It’s Saddam Hussein—See you soon!”; “Wow, congratulations on having Cuba’s only answering machine!”

Jay Leno: Congress began hearings [last week] on the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina. They’re just investigating Hurricane Katrina now? You know, that’s pretty sad when the government’s investigation to the government’s slow response to Katrina is slower than the government’s response to Katrina. ... Hillary Clinton is hard out on the campaign trail. Hillary is expected to attract the woman vote and, of course, Bill will attract “the other woman” vote. So between the two of them they should have the female vote locked up. ... Is anybody really that surprised that Hillary Clinton is running for president? I’m not surprised. I mean, if you were married to Bill Clinton, wouldn’t you want to be able to tap his phone, read his mail, and torture him? ... Sen. Joe Biden, on the day of announcing his candidacy for president of the United States, called Barack Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate, bright and clean.” I think we’ve seen the shortest presidential campaign in history. ... Biden is making the Democrats long for the comedy routines of John Kerry.

Lol, start golf, that is hilarious. :P
Wow, normally I'm a proponent for Leno over Letterman, but the last three Letterman (Dancing With the Stars, Saddam, and only answering machien) I got a crack up on.
Leno's was good too, as normal.

Didn't know that you played basketball! Will your team compete at the National Homeschool Basketball Tournament in Oklahoma City????
We all go up there for a week and it is a blast......it is like going to a debate tournament.
Bekah's team started out with 5 players and now it has 10. You just never know year to year.
Have fun in NM and skiing! I prefer snowboarding!

well Houston is close to you I guess.  There's nothing close to me.  I was thinking about cedarville (my partner's brother is going there right now), but I don't think that it worked out.  So sad...

Will, I was in Nashville last weekend and I thought of you as I drove by Al Gore’s giant gorgeous home. I read an article in the Wall Street Journal today entitled “An Inconvenient Pool.” It said, “There is an irresistible quality to the story about Al Gore’s energy-hungry Tennessee home, replete with a heated poolhouse that burns more natural gas—$500 a month worth—than most of us can afford to use while heating houses that shelter people, as opposed to swimming lanes. Did you know that Mr. Gore’s house uses more electricity in a month than the average household does in a year?”

 

But Al Gore has a clear conscience about his actions “because he makes sure he pays a premium for electricity from ‘renewable’ sources and claims that he purchases ‘carbon offsets’ to make up for his rampant energy use.”

 

The article concludes, “Mr. Gore is rich and fortunate enough to be able to afford the ‘carbon offset’ for his energy indulgences. The middle-class parents who need a gas-guzzling SUV to haul the kids to soccer practice may not be so lucky. They might even settle for an unheated pool.”

 

Well, I have never watched An Inconvenient Truth, but it seems as though it would be a movie that would motivate its viewers to use less energy. But how much less? Does Al Gore’s actions really offset his excessive energy use? Personally, I don’t have a firm stance on global warming, but I would pay a premium for a hybrid car and go the extra mile to save energy. There is no reason to waste energy, and we do know pollution is harmful (In the mornings, I run around a track beside a school, so I need to breathe cars’ exhaust pipes for half an hour). But I also personally believe that it doesn’t make sense to “relax in a hot tub after a long day of predicting the end of the Greenland ice sheet.”

 

By the way, I’m Micah M. I debated you in either the fourth or fifth round at Carson-Newman last year. My brother and I were negative against your removing caps-Joint/Several Liability case. If I were the judge, I would have voted for you since we never did address the Joint/Several Liability part of your case.
