Yes, yes, I’m going to write something about this whole scans_daily/Peter David brouhaha eventually. It’s coming. But come on, folks, last night’s episode of Battlestar Galactica isn’t going to watch itself, you know?
Also, I tried a can of the Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink, and it in fact tastes kind of like what would happen if you took grape drink and then ionized it with an electric current, so I am sure they could pretend that the electric current would then power a Gibson.
Also also: commenters have been taking exception to why I think conservatives like carbon taxation better than cap-and-trade. It is worth remembering that the original question was “why is David Frum so hot for carbon taxation?” I gave the answer. There’s no reason that carbon taxation can’t be used in a proactive, progressive manner – say, by pairing it with spending or tax initiatives to make it easier for low-income parties to live their lives in a more energy-efficient manner, for example. But David Frum isn’t going to advocate for that part.

Maybe you’re just not doing it right.
Shameless plug: I wrote a rather lengthy post about (something tangentially related to) the Peter David/scans_daily thing over at my blog:

The scans daily thing was bound to happen, but the close down still sucks.
Don’t you have an electric monk yet?
Saw your post on CSBG, MGK, and it’s a good point that will go sadly overlooked. I’m reminded of my Grade 5 year – big, “open-concept” classroom with lots of traffic. While I’m writing some test (the most important test evar, permanent record and all that), a student from the next-door high school is in the next class, talking to a kid 20 feet away, raving about seeing Return of the Jedi the very day it was released…
“and Luke’s all AAAARRGH and the Emperor’s just frying him, lightning coming out of his hands, and Vader just stands there. You can see him thinking, man! Then he walks over, picks up the freakin’ Emperor, and THROWS HIM INTO A BOTTOMLESS PIT. Then the Emperor freakin’ explodes! It was Awesome!!”
You bet I saw that movie in the theatres. Twice (thanks, dad!). Took a day off work to see the Phantom Menace a day before release. Took five friends to see the Clone Wars, because I live in hope.
Pirated a cam-job of Revenge of the Sith. I remember that kid from my 5th grade more vividly than I remember the last two Star Wars movies. He didn’t ruin anything – that was what we used to call “word-of-mouth”.
It’s all about Squirrel Girl obv.
