University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds celebrates the tenth anniversary of his blog, Instapundit, born Aug. 8, 2001, and I wish him and his blog every blessing (and hope one day earn a spot in his blogroll). He was one of the first bloggers I saw at CPAC 2009 speaking with Vodkapundit, Stephen …

The 25 most unlikely Palin fans
I just noticed for the first time that Conservatives4Palin has a series entitled, “The 25 most unlikely Palin fans,” with Kevin DuJan of HillBuzz being profiled today as number 7. I don’t know why I can’t get anyone from Conservatives4Palin to answer my e-mails, although it’s been a year since I last tried — perhaps …
Moe, my rule of tipping is that 20 percent …
… is the minimum tip in all circumstances unless the server deliberately sets you on fire. If the fire is accidental, then the tip is still 20 percent. What? I was schooled on tipping by girlfriends in college who were waitresses.
For night owls who feel groggy all day after a full night’s sleep
I know perfectly well the principle of ayurveda that one of the worst things I can do for my health is to go to bed after 10 pm. At both mid-day and midnight, the hours between 10 and 2 are pitta time — the natural principle associated with metabolism. Pitta is strongest at noon and …

Obesity and sleep
Dear Attila is musing tonight on why people become overweight and proposes two explanations. I agree with her, but want to add a third — sleep deprivation.

David Swindle on how to argue with a progressive
David Swindle is the editor of David Horowitz’s blog, Newsreal, and he recently had some very instructive fun with a progressive who applied to blog for Newsreal.

Attila and Stacy debate feminism on Da TechGuy’s radio show, 10 am, EDT, April 2
A blog war on the subject of feminism broke out a couple of weeks ago between Little Miss Attila and Stacy McCain, of The Other McCain. My contribution in Attila’s comment section was minimalist — “Attila: right. Stacy: wrong.” I think that must be why I’m not linked in Attila’s post tonight thanking her sisters-in-arms–in …

Via my dear friend, Jenny, The Bloggess, a couple of days ago I found the blog of a young lesbian who is in seminary on the ordination track to be a Lutheran minister — thus the name of her blog, Emm in Sem: Gay marriage isn’t revolutionary. It’s just the next step in marriage’s evolution. …
