Mark Steyn nails it

Nobody is better than Mark Steyn at pointing out the idiocy of governments.  Here is but the latest example.

Jim Bates commits modeling

Mr. Bates commits modeling.  I am glad someone is getting something done.  His Hurricane looks sweet.

More China news

Here is your regular China update.

More and more worker unrest.  Frankly, if the conditions that these workers work in were more well known, then I suspect that Chinese goods wouldn’t be so popular here.

This story about a revival in interest in the Communist party and its history is of interest to me  since I have been to Chongqing.

More government madness

Regular readers of this blog know I have little patience for stupid government rules.  This one is just a bigger example of the madness that drives me crazy.

Magazine review: SAFO Vol. 34 #4 (136)

I recently received the latest SAFO.  As usual it is filled with good information.  This one seemed a little smaller than previous issues (fewer pages) but that might have just been my imagination.   There is a nice article on the use of DH Beaver aircraft by the UN in the Congo in the early 1960s.  There is also an excellent article on DH.60 Moths in Yugoslav service before WWII.  As always, I recommend becoming a member.

Apple is evil

Story here.  No more proof needed.

Jim Bates’ Blog

Master modeler and Ohio attorney extrodinaire, Jim Bates, has been blogging more lately.  He has several good posts up recently.  Stop by and take a look.

Prince Harry

It appears Prince Harry will be going back to war.  The story is here.  I am glad to see this.  The sons of Prince Charles seem to have a much better attitude than their father.

China unrest

Here is a report of unrest in China.  You don’t see this in the news much, but it is happening more and more.  I suspect that China is in for social upheaval in the coming years.
