Mice or Men?
Saturday, October 13th, 2007Randall O’Toole’s latest book, The Best-Laid Plans: How Government Planning Harms Your Quality of Life, Your Pocketbook, and Your Future argues that planners don’t know jack shit. I’ll agree with that. However, he’s got such a big bug up his ass about mass transit, that he completely ignores the fact that the highways were planned by the government too.
Mad Scientists’ Club
Sunday, June 3rd, 2007Who wouldn’t want to be a member?
The Bigger Sister is reading well beyond what the schools expect of her, so at the library the other day, I went looking for some books that I remembered from when I was around her age. Specifically, I looked for The Mad Scientists’ Club. They have one copy in the Mid-Hudson Library System, over at Union Vale, so we’ll get it on inter-library loan.
Then just now, after reading about the re-printing of Mr. Pine’s Purple House, I visited the site of the publisher, Purple House Press.
The Mad Scientists are back in print! And there’re more!
