Jeff Goldstein has an interesting analysis on the Casey/Alito bit that we have been talking about for the past few days.
This Matt Welch piece about Tony Pierce is also tangentially related.
Alito Poll
Hugh Hewitt has up a blog poll (although wholly unscientific) on the Alito nomination.
Go play.

Cathy Young has a long, interesting read on her views of same-sex marriage.
Peak Oil
Interesting diary at dKos on oil profits and oil production.
Momma Bear Has Died
Momma Bear, the sweet lady who actually designed the graphic to the right and spent hours chatting with me, e-mailing back and forth helping Kathy Kinsley design my old site, has died.
And that stinks.
*** Update ***
Andrew Ian Dodge also has a tribute to Momma Bear.
Dean Esmay has his thoughts here.
Snowstorm
This is what it looked like a mile from my house.
Broccosprouts
Just curious- any of you ever tried Broccosprouts? I went to buy my regular sprouts (I like ’em on salads and on sandwiches), and they were out, so I picked these up, and wow, are they zesty. Have a radish-like tang to them.
The only reason I bring this up is because this is the only food I remember ever buying that has been patented by a University, as these were created by Johns Hopkins. How will the anti-GM foods crowds handle stuff like this? Are these, in their eyes, bad?
*** Update ***
I should probably add that I REALLY liked them.
