OCCUPY ALASKA protestors keep vigil despite the cold. It'll be interesting to see how long they can continue. Minus 30 degrees is cold.
THE SURPRISING NEWS about U.S. oil production. Good news, but ... it's Goldman Sachs making the prediction.
SURGES AND SETBACKS for trash-to-gas electricity.
"IT'S A SILICON VALLEY of strategic space for the U.S. government and Boeing’s crappy leadership ran it into the ground.” As one who worked in the "black world" for many years, I suspect that the root cause was not Boeing's 'crappy leadership' (though there is plenty of that, I can assure you) but the government's failure to abide by Kelly's Rules.
LIBERAL VIOLENCE RISING. Of course. Like any spoiled brat, progressives throw tantrums whenever they don't get their way.

A BRIDGE TO NOWHERE: The Higher Education Bubble and Liberal Arts Education.

JONAH GOLDBERG: Bring back the lash?
JUST ANOTHER Black Friday at Wal Mart:

ANDREW McCARTHY on immigration and amnesty.
YOU CAN'T ARREST IDEAS (scroll down): No, but you can ignore bad ones.
'OCCUPY'-INSPIRED CAMPAIGN urges boycott of Black Friday. Perfect! Now the rest of us can start our Christmas shopping in peace.

UPDATE: The Tea Party responds with a "buycott."
CLIMATEGATE II: The newest batch of emails appear to be very encouraging for the skeptics. It's not so much the data; it's the attitude.
ARE THEY, OR AREN'T THEY faster than light?
THOMAS SOWELL visits the Land of Unintended Consequences.
SO WHAT'S NEW? Obama blames GOP for deficit panel's failure.
