What a wonderful idea: Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital brightens the day of their little patients by having window washers dress up as Superheroes. I can just imagine the smiles on those little faces when they suddenly see Superman appear at their window 🙂
Ideology, Not Competence
James Taranto:
“I am not one of those who believe we should moderate, equivocate or otherwise abandon our principles,” [Bobby] Jindal said, courageously courting the wrath of moderators, equivocators and abandoners. He urged fellow Republicans to “focus on real people outside of Washington”—and at the NRI summit he said it in Washington, to a crowd that included many unreal people. “We have to stop dumbing down our ideas and stop reducing everything to mindless slogans and tag lines for 30-second ads.” Woo-hoo! Down with mindless slogans!
Thank you James Taranto for making it fun to read about politics.
I’ve been enjoying this with the boy.

Mandy Moore – “When Will My Life Begin?” (Tangled, 2010)
I genuinely, honestly, unironically, sincerely adore this song.
Terrific movie.
Marc Andreessen says you either will be the person who tells the computer what to do or the person that the computer tells what to do. I see more and more young folks internalizing that dichotomy and deciding to “get technical.”

The Wolf Man
Researcher Werner Freund, 79, a former German paratrooper, established the [wolf] sanctuary in 1972 and has raised more than 70 animals there over the last 40 years. He acquired the wolves as cubs from zoos or animal parks and has reared them mostly by hand. Werner has also taken to living closely with his wolves, behaving as an alpha male to earn their acceptance and respect.
Werner lives very close to his wolves.
I heard a rustling in the kitchen. Discovered Daniel in the pantry closet: “Out, out, damned tot!”
