because politics insists you push the extreme position and no compromise...
Why would Audubon allow drilling on its own sanctuaries but oppose it elsewhere? The answer, in short, is property rights. Private ownership creates incentives that often lead to more reasonable outcomes than in the political arena. Property rights motivated Audubon to consider the trade-offs associated with its management and the opportunity costs of leaving the oil and gas in the ground. Because the group owned the sanctuary, it sensibly weighed the potential benefits of drilling against its environmental costs.
sort of how I feel: I am "green" (we grow organic rice) but hate the overblown nonsense from those leading the Green and global warming movements, whose Malthusian tendencies would make Hitler proud.

Eggsy call your office.

A lot of Irish died in the potato famine in the 1840's because Malthus' ideas said die offs of the poor was normal and charity just made things worse
The 1840's were not a very good time for ordinary folks in Europe. Mike Duncan explains. MP3

no, the "apostasy" myth of the early church is not true, but never mind. We Catholics keep getting hit with such myths and distortions of history, which is why maybe the modern MSM reporting on the church (and i politics) is seen as calumny redux.

Trumpie boy was called a Nazi and the MSM kept echoing the charge that he refused to condemn the so called neo nazis, But of course, he did condemn them: But he made the mistake in pointing out there was violence on both sides that day.
The MSM didn't want you to notice that. because the demonstrations are part of the "resistance" devised by Hillary and her minions in revenge for losing. Why do I say this? Because I keep getting emails from "Democrats abroad" about why I should drive four hours to Manila to join their demonstrations to promote peace, justice and the American way against evil Republicans.
but now Instapundit links to several stories that noted the left wing violence, which by the way started last year against Republicans but got little press, even when one of them shot a Congressman...
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Woke, Predictable VMAs Ignore Antifa Violence, Hate.Even WaPo is taking notice of the violence inherent in Antifa’s system, and recent attacks on a reporter and a photographerought to make more in the MSM recognize the truth. LINK
Heh. annAlthouse of the grammar police comments on the style of the WAPo story:
y paragraph 3, the bad people disappear into an abstraction...
The passive voice begins to flare...
Shortly after, violence began to flare...
and this:
damn. You mean facebook and twitter work both ways?
REMEMBER, EVERY POLITICAL ACTION SPARKS A POLITICAL REACTION: Violence by far-left protesters in Berkeley sparks alarm. “The clashes came despite widespread calls from activists and elected officials across the Bay Area for peaceful civil disobedience and underscore Berkeley’s growing reputation for violent reaction by the far left. Other protests earlier this year in the city turned ugly, with far-left and far-right forces fighting in the streets. Some in Berkeley worried that Sunday’s chaos, captured on video and quickly disseminated through social media, would provide unwanted ammunition to Trump and his supporters.”
I am voiding Facebook myself because of political wars and two minute hates from both sides. Let me know when it's over... I would like to be able to go back there and see photos of my grandkids (and great grandkids).

Latest "sexism" screed insists women are less likely to get jobs as cardiology professors because they wear perfume.
The paper was funded by an NIH study that has received $3,927,208 since 2013, including $696,995 this year.the problem with this is that most women physicians don't wear perfume. It's unprofessional.
The paper argues that wearing perfume can disadvantage female heart doctors, and men who wear white coats and carry a stethoscope “could foster gender bias.”
We tend to get "up close and personal" with patients, and a lot of people, including myself, have allergies and are sensitive to perfume (indeed, that is why perfume is banned at a lot of feminist conferences).
(also via Instapundit)
I've run into overt bias in medicine, but there are studies that women practice differently then men in medicine, and for some problems, one does prefer a physician of the same sex: so some men might not like discussing their hypertension related ED or prostate problems with me, but then a lot of women dislike discussing dysparunia with their male docs.
and lots of studies show women practice medicine differently than men... more time with patients, more empathy...
and since we have kids, maybe less willingness to get called out at night all the time.

Houston is still a mess. In our prayers.
but not a lot of news about Galveston or the cities along the coast, which were completely wrecked (but most folks were evacuated, we hope). I suspect that, unlike Houston, where the home will be damaged and the flooding is an ongoing problem, those along the coast will find their homes are gone... and no word about those who stayed behind against advice.
