Sunday morning round-up

How does this cacophonous ball of dirt and water fare at the onset of yet another week of occupation by the biped species with the movable thumbs?

It seems that climate science is becoming the ghetto of the physical-sciences world, much as gender studies is where social-science bottom-feeders are found.

A veteran Chinese journalist - and veteran of China's jails - is off to the hoosegow again, for having exposed the details of Document Number 9.  It is the government's plan for addressing "subversive" elements in Chinese media - such as the BBC's presence there.

Yesterday was Army Day in Iran.  It gave Iranians a chance to check out some fancy new hardware, and a truck sporting a huge banner reading "Death to Israel."

Oh, and a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander puts the kibosh on any possibility of inspections of military sites that might be part of any agreement resulting from all the patty-cake of the last few years.

College and university presidents are trying to outdo each other in the moral preening department by pledging their campuses to be ever-more excruciatingly "sustainable."

Mason High School in Ohio cancels Hijab Day.

George Will explains why the gummint is making a couple in the raisin-farming business hand over 47 percent of their crop.

It's just plain wacky out there, I tell ya.
