Filed under: General — Patterico @ 8:29 pm



I took my son down to the beach at the foot of the cliffs below the Trump Golf Course today. It’s a rocky beach — rather inhospitable for swimming. No matter; it was a warm summer day, and I counted only about 20 people on the beach.

Power Line reports that Juan Cole will not be going to Yale.

Our friend and Yale alumnus Clint Taylor explains that, while the history department had approved Cole to join the faculty, its vote was overruled by the Senior Appointments Committee, which usually rubber-stamps the history department vote.

Whatever.

Armed Liberal will be terribly broken up over this, I’m sure.

Allah woke up late, but he’s still all over the story of the Canadian jihadis arrested with three times the amount of explosives that Timothy McVeigh used to level the Murrah building.

UPDATE: More on the significance of all this here.

The neighbors recently cut down a tree in their back yard.

Matthew: What happened to the tree?

Me: It’s gone. Gone like the wind.

Matthew: But the wind is not gone.

The boy’s got a point.
