“tree B&W small” It’s been way too long since f/k/a featured Pamela Miller Ness.
The latest issue of frogpond leapt into my mailbox this week, and contains three of
Pamela’s poems, which I am pleased to share with you:
birthday morning
he tells me that 53
is a prime number
winter night
a stranger in the laundromat
asks my name
decision time
tiny ripples
in the river
a blue eggshell
quivering
[linked verse written with Michael Dylan Welch]

first November winds —
tear ducts leaking
again this year

Cafeteria Conservatives? Annoyed by David Bernstein’s position that true libertarians
would not embrace “traditional values” politics, Prof. Bainbridge notes that “I sometimes
describe myself has having libertarian leanings, but at bottom I’m really more of mix of
Catholic neoconservative and social conservative“. Forgive me for asking whether Steve
is like many other Cafeteria Conservatives and Buffet Libertarians — calling upon whatever
creed will get them the laws they want, while precluding those they dislike.
Walter Olson is decrying the lack of high-tech communications options on American cars,
driver distractions — CarXPC being a full-blown dashboard Windows computer — is the last thing
we need on America’s roads. Maybe having trial lawyers ain’t such a bad thing.
