The Anchor-Baby Issue: Let's Keep It Bubbling

Anonymous (at least to me!) inside-the-beltway source Washington Watcher has a useful update, at VDARE's main page as I write this, on the urgency of ending the birthright-citizenship outrage.

It seems worthwhile to link a few other sources for readers who want to look further into the subject and, thus, prepare themselves to help the national conversation along on this very important immigration sub-topic.

P. D. James On Modern (Post-Immigration) England

P. D. James was born in 1920, and started writing books about a detective called Adam Dalgliesh in 1962. The last one was published in 2008. I thought it would be interesting to compare the different worlds of the two books.

"Climate Change"

Has there been a stupider public relations blunder than changing "global warming" to "climate change?"

I understand why they did it. For example, the weather in LA has been ridiculously nice and cool for the last month: 70 and sunny most days, without even much of the usual June Gloom. For once, my lawn looks great. I wore my heavy jacket to see the fireworks on July 4th for the first time in memory.

Obama's Space Program Aims to Boost Muslim Self-Esteem into the Stratosphere

The NASA Administrator gave an interview with Al Jazeera recently, and he may have been a little too revealing about the tasks which the President assigned to the space agency. (Watch Talk to Al Jazeera – Charles Bolden):

Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss:"Obama's immigration speech echoes Bush in policy, rhetoric"

Peter Nicholas of the LA Times reports:

Obama's immigration speech echoes Bush in policy, rhetoric

Though he is quick to deride former President George W. Bush's performance in office, President Obama seems to think his predecessor gives a pretty good immigration speech.

Obama's widely publicized speech on the controversial topic Thursday closely tracks, in rhetoric and basic policy, a speech Bush gave on the same subject in May 2006.

"Parasite Prevalence And The Worldwide Distribution Of Cognitive Ability"

A reader writes in reference to the new paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Parasite prevalence and the worldwide distribution of cognitive ability by Christopher Eppig, Corey L. Fincher and Randy Thornhill.

Steve, did you notice that The Economist finally decided to inform its readers about Lynn and Vanhanen's IQ estimates?

The Jobs Crunch Intensifies

With the US trapped in depression, this really is starting to feel like 1932

The US workforce shrank by 652,000 in June, one of the sharpest contractions ever. The rate of hourly earnings fell 0.1pc. Wages are flirting with deflation.

........

California is tightening faster than Greece. State workers have seen a 14pc fall in earnings this year due to forced furloughs. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is cutting pay for 200,000 state workers to the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour to cover his $19bn (ÂŁ15bn) deficit.
