Victor Davis Hanson on what schools do and do not need.

Foreclosures and risky lending have dogged the housing market. As lenders have tightened their standards, attractive mortgages have grown harder to come by. Yet rental fundamentals have remained strong, especially in the 10 areas that made our list of Best Markets for Landlords.

I've only been predicting this for two years now.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Oversalted Burger Leads to Charges. Anyone else would have complained to the manager and gotten a new burger plus maybe a discount on the next one or a freebie. But because it happened to be a cop, the person who made it - and properly informed their supervisor, who made the decision to serve it - gets to spend a night in jail. Does this strike anyone else as police brutality or intimidation? Use of office for personal ends? Or maybe just petty vengeance and abuse of authority, which is something we're trying to weed out. Time for a certain cop to lose his badge.

FYI, as I'm going through fixing the internal links in old posts and adding tags for indexing, for some reason a lot - not all - are re-sending trackbacks. I'm not certain why this is happening on some posts, but I do apologize for it.

My younger daughter turns 3 today. I'm going to try to have a new article for tomorrow, but it might get delayed by the fact Daddy needs to be at the party.

Stumble It!

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
