Behind the scenes on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' — which almost had a different title
Good grief. It's been 50 years since CBS first aired A Charlie Brown Christmas, the classic Peanuts special that's become a staple of our holiday television-viewing experience. That's a half-century of exploring the true meaning of Christmas; five decades of wonderment at the synchronous dancing twins; generations of chills as the Peanuts come together to turn a sad little tree into the best tanne

Nicaraguans can grow their own food, but not without land
Who has the right to own land? In countries like Canada, we decided some time ago that it’s either government, aboriginals or people with enough money to buy their own piece of tierra firma, and many of us get by just fine without owning land. While almost 70 per cent of Canadians own their own homes, it’s not a prerequisite to happiness. But the issue is more complex in countries l

what i'm reading: ghettoside: a true story of murder in america
When we think of gun violence in the United States, chances are we think of mass shootings. These horrific events which occur with such regularity seem, to much of the world, mostly preventable. The public nature of the shootings, and the often tragically young age of the victims, capture headlines and a good portion of the 24-hour news cycle. Yet murders occur every day in the US, and no one hear

Some facts.1. The likelihood that you will be killed in a terrorist attack is extremely small. You are much more likely to be hit by lightning, killed in a car crash, have a heart attack, or meet your death hundreds of other ways.2. Most documented terrorist attacks are perpetrated by people who are not Muslim. And this doesn't count anti-abortion violence or women being killed by abusive partners

On Armistice Day (or Veterans Day, or Remembrance Day), it’s an especially good time to pause and reflect. Those most eager for war are rarely the ones who will fight or pay the costs. Requiring a high threshold for war is the position of basic sanity; it’s common sense.

NOVEMBER 19, 2015 by Len Hart, the Existentialist CowboyMovies were originally intended to be projected, seen by a group. A sense of "community", a "shared experience" were an important part of motion pictures even after the advent of television.

911: A Final Summation
by Len Hart, The Existentialist CowboyAmerican Airlines itself is the source for information that AA Flights 11 (North Tower) and 77 (Pentagon) did not fly on 911. These flights are critical to the the government's crumbling cover up! Without those flights, Bush and his murderous co-conspirators will have to revise the big lie. They will have to concoct yet another cover story from the ground up!

Women in Professional Sports
by wj A few days ago, the Economist had a post on their Game Theory blog entitled Playing with Pink Balls. The thumbnail photo (and it really is that small) showed someone with some kind of bat. The teaser read, in full, "Why has it taken so long to play the first...." Having my own share of cultural mypoia, I figured this would be a story about the lack of women in Major League basebal
the persistence of culture
by russell For the long holiday weekend, I offer a post that (one hopes) is devoid of rancorous partisan political content. For a long time, I've been interested in (and made a sort of semi-desultory study of) the way in which certain elements of African music have found their way to, and found expression in, cultures and societies in other parts of the world. Most, but not all, of this has follow
Your Post-Antibiotic Era Open Thread of DOOM Open Thread!
by Ugh This is discouraging. The world is on the cusp of a "post-antibiotic era", scientists have warned after finding bacteria resistant to drugs used when all other treatments have failed. Eek. Also, too, it seems ISIS understands what al Qaeda generally doesn't - or probably, now, didn't - which is that it doesn't take attacks on a 9/11/2001 scale to induce mass panic and bring out
islamic state
by russell The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for last night's attacks in Paris. If they are responsible, that apparently represents an upping of the ante on their part, in terms both of the ambition of the attack and the effectiveness of its execution. The IS is kind of a strange beast. They don't appear to want to just be a state in the modern, post-Westphalian sense. Per (among oth

Climate Alarmism: Facing the Larger Problem
The bishop hill site has a post on one of the latest examples of sophistry (reasoning that is superficially plausible but actually fallacious) in public statements by climate alarmists. One commenter on the site likened his rejection of that sophistry to his quick rejection of "von Danniken's 'Worlds In Collision'". My response: Immanuel Velikovsky, not Erich von Dänniken, wrote "Wo
Climate Alarmists and Lukewarmers Are All Incompetent
