BUSTING PAUL KRUGMAN for dishonesty on ethanol.

TALKLEFT: “For a campaign that has been declared over, and a candidate who has been declared dead, Hillary Clinton sure gets alot of attention from the Obama News Network (NBC), not to mention the Obama blog network (you know who I mean).”

ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT: “Horrible Chinese Thugs” surround Olympic torch in London. It’s gotten so bad they’re talking about getting rid of the torch run.

The mask has kinda slipped.

PAUL KRUGMAN SAYS THAT biofuels have been a terrible mistake. That will remain true for so long — and only for so long — as we’re turning food into fuel. Biofuels from waste biomass are a whole different story.

UPDATE: Krugman misrepresented McCain. Say it ain’t so.

HOW MUCH HOUSEWORK DOES A HUSBAND CREATE? I was thinking about this study while I was cooking dinner. . . .

Of course, if you read past the headline you discover that it’s really marriage that creates more housework:

Both the men and the women who got married did more housework than those who stayed single, the analysis showed.

These studies are always set up and headlined, though, to make men sound like losers. How about this: How much yardwork and fix-it work does a wife create? I was thinking about this while I was solving my wife’s computer problem this afternoon . . . .

UPDATE: Reader Kevin Donovan emails:

What caught my eye was this:

“Excluded from these ‘core’ housework hours were tasks like gardening, home repairs, or washing the car.”

This just seems hilarious. When I was growing up my father maintained and washed the cars, mowed, fertilized, etc. the yard and did all sorts of carpentry, plumbing and electrical, etc. work around the house. Of course once you remove all the stereotypical male tasks from the definition of housework, women will do more of what’s left over, assuming some sort of sex-based division of labor.

Yeah. It’s like the whole thing is rigged or something.

STARBUCKS VS. THE FREE MARKET: “Apparently the folks at Starbucks (and Arroweye, the company that processes the cards) find it unacceptable that some of their customers want to celebrate the economic system that has allowed for their success.”

ROGER KIMBALL: “I have been reading a good deal of Kipling recently. Jodi Kantor’s odious emetic tapestry of innuendo reminded me once again how pertinent that great observer of humanity is to our current situation.”

MEDIA favoring Obama over Clinton?

UPDATE: And Obama over McCain.
