Clayton's commentary on news and events of the day. Broadly speaking, I'm a conservative with libertarian sympathies (getting more conservative as my children get older).

House Project: The Sills Are In, And The Gravel Is Mostly In Place I previously mentioned some excitement about the sills. They still aren't quite what we have in the current house, but everything is nailed in place, and they look okay--not enough for my wife to jump up and down about. (Not that she is a terribly excitable person, anyway.) Anyway, we went up Wednesday evening, and this is what the sills now look like. ![]() Click to enlarge Our builder was waiting for the first heavy rain before having gravel dropped on the driveway; others we would have had to pay someone to come up and dump water on the road so that it would sink into the underlying loose rock. This stuff is called "road mix"--a combination of gravel and sand, and quite a bit less tasty than trail mix. ![]() Click to enlarge ![]() Click to enlarge As should be evident from the tire tracks, it has not all sunk in even yet, but at least there aren't big sharp rocks sticking up to attack the underside of my Corvette. With time (and more rain), it will pack down into something more like a road. They didn't run it all the way to the concrete apron in front of the garage, and they didn't drop any on the driveway behind the house, so it's time for another visit. Our builder is having a heck of a time finding construction workers, because so many people are building houses in the Boise area right now--increasingly, his family and friends (and now us) are providing the labor. Since this is a cost-plus contract, the more work that we do, the less he charges us, so it isn't entirely a bad thing. I drove up this morning to mix my labor into the house. I ran around this morning putting patch material (which has a disturbing similarity in texture and appearance to thick whipped cream) on nail holes, and using a nailset and hammer to get a few nails down below surface level. Unfortunately, these are a very, very small grade of finishing nail, and some of them insisted on bending instead of sinking. The clouds still had the sun obscured when I shot this picture about 9:00 AM. ![]() Click to enlarge Here the sun has finally broken through. ![]() Click to enlarge It is so quiet up there!

Robbing a gun store when you don't have a gun is really, really dumb. From the October 20, 2005 Odessa [Texas] American: Police have arrested two suspects in Tuesday’s failed robbery attempt at Gun Sport Ltd.Perhaps they were driven to this act of desperate stupidity by the incredibly dumb names that someone gave them: Jameyl?

A Prescient Letter From One of the 2000 Once upon a time our culture lauded the spirit of honor, duty, and self-sacrifice that went with being a warrior in a righteous cause. Even a culture as remote in time and values as classical Greece--we could admire the devotion to duty of the 300 Spartans who held back perhaps 150,000 Persians at Thermopylae--and they were wiped out to the last man. But the several days that they held back a far larger army enabled the rest of Greece to prepare. Michelle Malkin reports that one of the 2000 American servicemen killed in Iraq, Corporal Jeffrey B. Starr, had some sort of premonition that he might not get back home, and left a letter on his laptop to his girlfriend--a letter that Cindy Sheehan probably wouldn't want to read. A particularly stirring excerpt: Obviously if you are reading this then I have died in Iraq. I kind of predicted this, that is why I'm writing this in November. A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances. I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark.What an eloquent statement from a man of phenomenal courage. Part of what makes soldiers able to risk death is that they know that the odds are in their favor--that the vast majority of soldiers in a war will come back alive. Corporal Starr seems to have realized that his number was up--and he was not afraid. Malkin quotes Starr's uncle: Mr. Lickness also told me: "Even more than a Marine, Jeff was a man of God. At a recent memorial service at Camp Pendleton for the 16 Marines from his unit killed in Iraq we got to meet the men who were with him when he died. They told us of his bravery under fire, his leadership, his humor and his humanity. America lost the best it has, but the family knows he's with his Heavenly Father and we will see him again." Rosa Parks & The End Of Segregation Different River asks how segregation could have collapsed so quickly: how else could a centuries-old system have collapsed in less than two decades?The problem with this question is that segregation was not a centuries-old system. Segregation was largely a post-Civil War phenomenon. De Tocqueville (among others) noticed that in the South, blacks and whites socialized and engaged in public amusements together in a way that simply did not happen in the North. Under slavery, there was no practical way to segregate housing, because slaves lived on the owner's plantation (with a few exceptions for absentee owners and some urban slaves), and of course, schooling wasn't an issue: most slave states made it unlawful to educate a slave, and many of the Southern states didn't even have public schools until just before (and in some cases, just after) the Civil War. I don't know how much this has worked its way out to the masses yet, but historians working on the civil rights movement have discovered that immediately post-World War II, there was a very sizeable movement in the South against not only the most grotesque actions, such as lynching, but even against school segregation. Some of this seems to have been returning servicemen from Europe, who saw concentration camps, and drew some lessons about where this could lead. Even Southern Baptists took a strong position against the excesses of the white supremacist movement in the late 1940s and early 1950s. A recent Thomas Sowell column points out that segregation of many privately facilities open to the public largely came about after blacks lost the vote: It was politics that segregated the races because the incentives of the political process are different from the incentives of the economic process. Both blacks and whites spent money to ride the buses but, after the disenfranchisement of black voters in the late 19th and early 20th century, only whites counted in the political process.If you find this hard to believe--that evil capitalists were more supportive of equality for the races than the virtuous instruments of democracy--well, go read Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the case that decided "separate but equal" conformed to the Fourteenth Amendment. It isn't just blacks who refused to stay in the black cars that were at risk: The third section provides penalties for the refusal or neglect of the officers, directors, conductors, and employees of railway companies to comply with the act....At least sometimes, private companies let their greed take precedence over the government's desire to segregate the races. It obviously happened enough that the government found it necessary to provide for punishing companies and their employees who lacked sufficient zeal for the holy cause of segregation. The Libby Indictment You can read it here. My first reaction when I heard that they were indicting Libby for making false statements to the FBI and to the grand jury (which is perjury) was, "This is going to be very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt." After all, proving that someone's statement about what they remembered is intentionally false (as opposed to mistaken) is pretty difficult--you have to have a number of pieces of evidence that someone's testimony is intentionally inaccurate. If the indictment accurately reflects Libby's testimony, and that of the several reporters who also testified, Libby has a lot to be worried about. Here's a hint, if you are someone who spends a lot of time trying to spin things to the news media: if you are doing something that might be illegal (like blowing the cover of a CIA operative), tell it to one reporter only: then it becomes your word against his at trial. There's no indictment for the underlying crime--blowing the cover of Valerie Plame. It sounds like Fitzgerald is still trying to construct a case around that. But it sounds like the combination of events required to establish all the elements of the crime (intent to expose Plame, undercover and overseas in the last five years, identifying Plame) may not have been present in any single person. At least, I don't see anything that clearly fits that description in the Libby indictment. I do notice that the indictment is careful not to point out that the statements made by Joseph Wilson that seemed to have provoked Libby's actions were, in fact, lies. It isn't relevant to the crimes alleged, of course, but it does seem a bit unfortunate that one person who lied up a storm for political reasons gets away with it, and another gets indicted. To quote the Washington Post--hardly a conservative newspaper: Former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, dispatched by the CIA in February 2002 to investigate reports that Iraq sought to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program with uranium from Africa, was specifically recommended for the mission by his wife, a CIA employee, contrary to what he has said publicly.Perhaps this is why Joseph Wilson is a hero to the left. Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) Over at Volokh Conspiracy, Professor Bernstein points out that one of my preferred replacements for Sandra Day O'Connor, Michael McConnell (who is probably a distant cousin of mine--there's a long genealogy story there) will be ripped unmercifully by the Democrats for having criticized the methodology of Bolling v. Sharpe (1954). At this point, you are probably saying, "Never heard of it." On the same day that the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that segregation of state public schools was a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Bolling v. Sharpe ruled that the District of Columbia's segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. Okay, you are saying to yourself, that makes sense: if the states can't segregate public schools based on race, then why should the District of Columbia be able to do so? The problem is that Brown was decided based on the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment--which only applies to the states and their subsidiary governments. There is no equal protection clause that applies to the federal government. I can certainly understand the Court's discomfort. The states were being told, "You can't discriminate based on race in school assignments"--but the District of Columbia was? The decision somewhat acknowledges that they have a problem--but they just decide that it is the right thing to do, and they do it: We have this day held that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the states from maintaining racially segregated public schools. The legal problem in the District of Columbia is somewhat different, however. The Fifth Amendment, which is applicable in the District of Columbia, does not contain an equal protection clause as does the Fourteenth Amendment which applies only to the states. But the concepts of equal protection and due process, both stemming from our American ideal of fairness, are not mutually exclusive. The "equal protection of the laws" is a more explicit safeguard of prohibited unfairness than "due process of law," and, therefore, we do not imply that the two are always interchangeable phrases. But, as this Court has recognized, discrimination may be so unjustifiable as to be violative of due process.The problem here is that the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process is pretty specific: No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...Black students weren't being deprived of life, liberty, or property by segregation of DC schools. You might be able to make a case that being sent to inferior public schools deprived of them of opportunities to acquire property later on, but that's a pretty abstract and indirect deprivation. This is not what the Framers had in mind when they wrote this. Segregation in public education is not reasonably related to any proper governmental objective, and thus it imposes on Negro children of the District of Columbia a burden that constitutes an arbitrary deprivation of their liberty in violation of the Due Process Clause.I understand the political dilemma that confronted the Court, and I can't imagine any good reason for DC schools to be segregated, but this is exactly the sort of sloppy reasoning that the Supreme Court has done repeatedly--and why I don't have much respect for it.

Another Reason Liberal Is a Dirty Word To Me This column in the San Francisco Chronicle. Here's just a taste of this deeply offensive, judgmental, hypercritical and profoundly ignorant column: Who are you to judge? Who are you to say that the more than slightly creepy 39-year-old woman from Arkansas who just gave birth to her 16th child yes that's right 16 kids and try not to cringe in phantom vaginal pain when you say it, who are you to say Michelle Duggar is not more than a little unhinged and sad and lost?And yes, all those links were in the original article. You know, there's only one thing worse than a libertine insisting that there's nothing really wrong--and that's a libertine getting self-righteous about someone else's gross immorality. Surprise, Surprise: Which Countries Benefitted From Oil-For-Palaces? The final report about the Oil-for-Food scandal is showing that companies in three countries had preferential treatment in the corruption--and guess which three countries? More than 2,000 companies taking part in the United Nations oil-for-food programme paid illegal surcharges and kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, an inquiry has found. University Punishes Student For Off-Campus Statements Isn't it awful that a Catholic university would expel a student for his off-campus support of gay rights? Shouldn't something be done about that? Yeah! Oh, whoops! I knew something didn't sound right about that! They are threatening to expel the student for calling homosexuality "subhuman": PITTSBURGH -- A Duquesne University sophomore will risk being kicked out of school rather than write an essay as punishment for expressing his view that homosexuality is "subhuman."Now, I wouldn't use an expression like "subhuman." Of course, I'm not 19, and I have enough knowledge of history to know that "untermensch" (subhuman, in German) has an historical meaning that is quite disturbing. But can you imagine the uproar if the school was going to kick him out for taking a position in support of homosexuality? Miner needs to take a government class still, I think: "I believe as a student that my First Amendment rights in the Constitution were subverted and attacked," said Miner.It is a private school, and they have the right to expel him for violating their anti-harassment code--even though it is hard to see what he did as harassment. Still, it does tell you something about how Politically Correct even a Catholic university can be that they feel the need to expel students for a nasty remark. Perhaps he should have called homosexuality "priestly" instead. There's No Surprise On This I gather that Illinois has adopted a new definition: "sexually dangerous." I don't know exactly what that means, but this article details the first female so designated under the new law--and when you read about her history, you can't claim to be surprised: “Sexually dangerous,” that’s what a Woodford County teenager is being labeled by the State of Illinois. She's also the first female in the state with that designation. 17-year old Tammy Wheeler of Eureka has been designated “sexually dangerous” after being charged with fondling two young boys earlier this year.From all that I have read, pedophiles usually were victims themselves. For reasons that remain unclear, most victims of sexual abuse do not become abusers themselves (except to the extent that they destroy themselves with alcohol, drugs, self-mutilation). A few do--and sometimes they are girls. This is very sad--and part of why I get so angry when the courts side with the ACLU in making sexual abuse of minors a minor crime.

This Crime Brought To You By The Letters "Q" And "W" I hate to be too critical of Turkey. For a Muslim nation, they are shockingly liberal (in the "classical liberal" sense of the word). But they really do need to get past their need to oppress ethnic minorities like the Kurds--and especially they need to stop oppressing "Q" and "W": DIYARBAKIR, Turkey (Reuters) - A Turkish court fined 20 people for using the letters Q and W on placards at a Kurdish new year celebration, under a law banning characters not used in the Turkish alphabet, rights campaigners said Tuesday. Another Method for Getting Rich: Attending Church This study only shows correlations--I think it would be silly to claim that church attendance directly increases income. More likely, the underlying factors that cause one cause the other: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attending religious services may enrich the soul, but it also fattens the wallet, according to research released on Tuesday.The study also found that those who more frequently attend church correlate to higher levels of education and income, lower levels of welfare receipt and disability, higher levels of marriage and lower levels of divorce.... The Zimmerman Telegram You are probably aware that the Zimmerman Telegram was the document that brought the U.S. into World War I on the side of Britain. The telegram from German Foreign Secretary Zimmerman to the German ambassador in Mexico City asked Mexico to invade the U.S.--and after Germany defeated the U.S., Mexico would get the Southwest back. Britain's codebreakers intercepted the telegram, decrypted it, and used the contents to get President Wilson to ask Congress for a Declaration of War. Anyway, the original decrypted document has long been assumed to be lost or destroyed--but no, it has been found: An original typescript of the deciphered Zimmerman Telegram, one of the greatest coups mounted by Britain's intelligence services, has been discovered.Thanks to Different River for pointing this out. The Hazards of STDs Professor Volokh launched a bit of a firestorm in the comments section by pointing out that STDs caused by promiscuity represent a significant public health hazard: An interesting article, S.H. Ebrahim, M.T. McKenna & J.S. Marks, Sexual Behaviour: Related Adverse Health Burden in the United States, Sexually Transmitted Infections, vol. 81, pp. 38-40 (2005), reports that sexually transmitted diseases were responsible for nearly 30,000 deaths in the U.S. in 1998. A third of the deaths were among women, and two thirds among men. ... Three quarters of the deaths were from HIV, but nearly 5000 were from cervical cancer, which seems to be generally caused by some strains of human papilloma virus, and nearly 2000 were caused by sexually transmitted hepatitis and hepatitis-caused liver cancer. (The study purported to take into account the fact that not all hepatitis is sexually transmitted.) There were also over 100 deaths from syphilis and fewer than 10 from gonorrhoea (presumably from the very rare gonorrhoea-caused heart disease), but apparently modern antibiotics have done a great deal to limit death and serious illness caused in the U.S. by bacterial sexually transmitted diseases.Of course, he makes it very clear that he has no moral objection to promiscuity and casual sex: I don't have moral objections to casual sex or to promiscuity; and I certainly don't support criminalization of consensual adult sexual behavior. Nonetheless, it seems to me that we need to acknowledge that sexually transmitted disease is a serious matter, and there are real medical costs (as well as real hedonic benefits, plus real hedonic costs) to the glamorization of relatively casual and promiscuous sex that seems present in our culture (though not in all of its subcultures).Go and read the comments--it is amazing how many people insist that there was no Sexual Revolution in the 1960s.

Genetic Stuttering & Gender Confusion I've mentioned in the past that it is possible that at least some of the "transgendered" set may actually be that way for genetic reasons--although I have my reasons for suspecting that for many the cause has more to do with child sexual trauma. One woman I spoke to over lunch many years ago was married to a guy about to become a gal--and he grew up with a hypermasculine Marine father, and a mother who desperately wanted a daughter--so she dressed her little boy as a girl until he was old enough to rebel, and spent a lot of time putting make-up on him. Mom playing "Dollie" and Dad's understandable rage and rejection don't make it hard to figure out the source of this guy's confusion. Here's an article that reports on a study that found a "stuttering" pattern in the genes overrepresented among men suffering from gender confusion: The researchers say the findings are very preliminary and should be “interpreted with the utmost caution,” due to the small sample size used in their study.The sample size isn't huge--"29 male-to-female transsexuals (men who wish they were women) and 229 healthy males." The article goes on to treat homosexuality as an established genetic trait--which what I have read remains a highly controversial claim, with significant variation from study to study. Labels: transgender Vertical Mill My used but seemingly operational Sherline 5000 vertical mill arrived yesterday. What, exactly, is a vertical mill, you may be asking? A vertical mill is a gadget with three axes: X, Y, and Z, and threads that enable you to move a piece of material into a rotating tool very precisely (in thousandths of an inch) in all three directions for cutting at a piece of metal, wood, or plastic. In the same way that a lathe lets you make very precise cuts on a piece of rotating material, a vertical mill lets you make very precise cuts on something that is roughly rectangular. (Some vertical mills have all sorts of extra motions for making even more elaborate shapes.) You can see a Sherline 5000 here, in case you are having some trouble visualizing it. It seems to be in better condition than the used Sherline 4000 lathe that I bought a while back. I did notice that when I was machining a 9" long piece of Delrin completely flat, one end was close to .01" thicker than the other. Why? It turns out that the column holding the mill wasn't exactly perpendicular to the table, so I loosened the four screws that hold the gearing to the column, and got this as perfect as I could with a square. Now I can't actually measure the thickness difference--it must be on the order of .002" or less over the length of 9" of Delrin if I can't see it with my cheap micrometer. UPDATE: Okay, when I tried to make a nice parallel piece of Delrin, I ended up with a .025" discrepancy. There's obviously something to be learned here still. I've Been Out of Service Most of the Day Cable One ("Watch us make you smile") lost internet service this morning about 10:30 AM--and it just came back. Part of why I knew it was system-wide was that calling their customer service number gave the "All circuits are busy" recording. This was a day that I stayed home to catch up on editing my book, and becoming competent with my new vertical mill. The vertical mill activity worked fine, but that didn't take that long. Kansas Supreme Court on Limon I mentioned this decision here a few days ago. I misread one rather critical part of it: instead of repealing the "Romeo-and-Juliet" provision that made adults having heterosexual sex with minors less than four years younger into a less serious crime, they only repealed the part that made it applicable to heterosexuals. Rather than punishing 18 year old guys who manipuate a 14 year old girl into sex as severely as homosxuals--they decided that homosexual molesters get the same light sentence as heterosexual molesters. I am disappointed. The Kansas Supreme Court could have taken an equal protection position that punished both homosexual and heterosexual molestation equally seriously, or they could have struck the entire law down, but instead, they decided that they could just strike out one part of the statute.

I Have A Publisher For My Book... And I am still utterly floored by it. There's a a very large advance--which suggests that they intend to print a lot of copies. I'll give you details as soon as the contract is signed. Wake Up! California Culture Is Spreading Dan Popkey is a columnist for the local paper, and like nearly all journalists, very liberal. But I guess he just got a wake-up call, judging by his most recent column: As moderator of the Idaho Summit on Teen Dating Violence, I realized how clueless I was about a dangerous curve ahead — a culture that cultivates emotional, sexual and physical abuse.Gee, he might even wake up to the destructive culture that liberals have promoted by saying that everything is okay, and nothing is wrong. Nah. Good News: Promoter Of Exterminating Whites No Longer Employed By North Carolina State At least, according to this news story, Kambon was not rehired at the end of the spring semester. Astonishing News: Anne Rice Changes Direction During a discussion of movies that I most regretted having seen, I mentioned that I considered Interview With the Vampire the most spritually-injuring: it "made me wish I could take steel wool and chlorine bleach to my soul afterwards." Now I see that Anne Rice, who made a huge amount of money writing the novels in this series, has found God: After 25 novels in 25 years, Rice, 64, hasn't published a book since 2003's "Blood Chronicle," the tenth volume of her best-selling vampire series. They may have heard she came close to death last year, when she had surgery for an intestinal blockage, and also back in 1998, when she went into a sudden diabetic coma; that same year she returned to the Roman Catholic Church, which she'd left at 18. They surely knew that Stan Rice, her husband of 41 years, died of a brain tumor in 2002.Madonna is concerned about the destructive influence of television on her kids. Anne Rice will now only write novels that glorify Jesus Christ. What next? Will Michael Moore turn Republican? Some Subjects Are More Vital Than Others To my surprise, the Idaho Statesman published a piece by me today, and with only a few changes for space: Is the State Board of Education making a mistake emphasizing math and science over the humanities? I am more conflicted than most about this: my B.A. and M.A. are in history; I have five published books, four in American history; I have taught history at local universities.

The House Project: Garage Doors, Window Sills I haven't blogged much about the house the last few days, but not because I haven't been busy, but because I've been up there too much to have time to blog! (Along with getting the machine shop in the current house squared up. More about that in a later entry.) We went up Wednesday evening to see how the interior finish work was going. The garage doors were in place! Hurrah! ![]() Click picture to enlarge Door frames, a subject of some struggle a few days earlier, all looked good. These are the double doors leading into bedroom three, and the door leading into bathroom three. ![]() Click picture to enlarge ![]() Click picture to enlarge This, however, was the extraordinarily boring window sill--not at all what we were supposed to get. Fortunately, Scott hadn't nailed any of them in place. ![]() Click picture to enlarge This led to a mad scramble to figure out what the correct molding was for the window sills to match the tasteful sills in our current house--more about that later in this entry. Out in the garage--what is this football-sized object? Thats a Grundfos pressure pump. Ordinarly, these are big monsters, because they contain a 30-120 gallon tank. We have 1400 gallons as the backup, so all we need is this cute little gadget. ![]() Click picture to enlarge This gadget is a particulate filter put in by the well pump guys. We are going to have a whole house lead filtering system (ANSI standard 53 compliant) go in series with this. More about that in a few days. ![]() Click picture to enlarge On the other side of the furnace there's a pipe that comes out of the wall, and then goes back into the wall. Scott tells us that the building codes now require that houses be plumbed for a water softener. Our current house was not plumbed for one--and when I asked what it would cost to install a water softener, I was quote about $1000--largely because the plumbing wasn't there. ![]() Click picture to enlarge Next to the meter there is now a gas pipe fitting sticking up out of the ground. This is where the backup generator will connect. ![]() Click picture to enlarge On Saturday morning, I ran over to Franklin Building Supply (who supplied the door frame moldings) and tried to find a matching sill. Nope! The bottom part, a corbel sort of thing, was the same as the header molding on the doors--but the top of the sill was produced with a router table, and was not a standard item. So at lunch, we took pizza and Cokes to Scott's hard working team (much of it is his family, because of a shortage of available construction workers) to see what he could offer us. ![]() Click picture to enlarge Those two pieces are wood really aren't different router bits, and different patterns, although I could barely see it. It makes my wife happy, and that's what matters. We had some neighbors in San Jose, Dick and Anna, who were building a new house--and they doing much of the construction themselves. They told us that they had read that one out of four couples building a home get divorced, and one out of seven having a home built for them get divorced. I don't know if those figures are still true or not, but I guess this can be stressful if the two of you have markedly different tastes. Not only are the garage doors in, but the automatic garage door openers, as well. ![]() Click picture to enlarge ![]() Click picture to enlarge Great view out the front--it almost looks like you could just drive off a cliff.
