The Fourth District Court of Appeals ruled that the cross in the San Diego Mount Soledad War Memorial will not be torn down. A setback for the ACLU, and other intolerant sorts.

From the AP wire: Malaysian proposes ’shouting’ room

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A Malaysian politician has a solution for putting an end to screaming matches in a state legislature: set up a “shouting therapy” room where they can argue to their heart’s content.

Of course, here in the States, we already have the Huffington Post.

This blog gets many thousands of comments every day, which is nice. Unfortunately, only about six of them are genuine comments from real people. The rest are all “spam” comments by evil robots.

Generally, I delete all the comment spam. But on this post and this post only, I’ve decided to let some of the spam comments through. I’ll only delete the links in them, and any obscene words they may contain; other than those edits, you’ll see the pure unfiltered spamminess. I’ll even reply to them, if I have something germane to add.

In a few weeks, this post could get pretty interesting.

Last week, Norman, Oklahoma was a battlefield in the War on Christmas. An argument over whether to call their annual Christmas parade the “Christmas Parade” or the “Holiday Parade” resulted in the resignation of the parade commitee, and the cancellation of the event. But now, a new batch of volunteers has stepped forward, with a breathtakingly elegant compromise: The “Main Street Christmas Holiday Parade” will proceed as scheduled, Dec. 9.

Ayiti: The Cost of Life is an empire-building game, something like Lemonade Tycoon or Railroad Tycoon. Only in Ayiti, you’re a United Nations busybody, and your empire is a family of poor Haitians. Just tell these impoverished chaps what to do, whether to work or farm or go to school or what-have-you, and watch their adoring faces as they thrive on your wisdom.
