New York and San Francisco host yearly Independent Spirits Expos, packed to the gills with curious tipplers and tipple-makers. It's like a boozier, heavily mustachioed version of ComiCon.

“Women and men do not think the same way,” said Beck. “I’ve been trying to tell my daughters, who will tell me, ‘Dad, he’s just a friend.’ Is he? He’s 17 years old and he’s just a friend? Really? If he’s gay, I buy it. If he’s not, no, he’s not. No, he’s not. He wants sex. Period. Women and men think differently.”

In another time, maybe, we might have been able to argue that we were using force to defend the principles of modern Western civilization, that we were "spreading democracy." Instead, we completely shat upon every principle we ever stood for, stooping to torture and assassination and extrajudicial detention.

Chancellor Katehi asserts that "the encampment raised serious health and safety concerns." Really? Twenty tents on the quad "raised serious health and safety concerns?" Has the chancellor been to a frat party lately? Or a football game? Talk about "serious health and safety concerns."

"As a business owner, I say it is great. I don't lose a lot of money to the Canadian drug companies, but it's enough, and I would like to get that money," said Pharmacist Rich Lawrence of Fort Myers. "We need to keep all the money we can, in America."

In my own naive way, I would never build a company anywhere but Iowa so maybe I just don't know any better. My personal feeling is, if you want to build it, where you are is just an excuse. Figure out what the area has to offer you and then leverage that. Hustle your ass off and make it work.

But, say the wingnuts, you say that rich people are evil. Actually, no — that’s a right-wing fantasy about what liberals believe. I don’t want to punish the rich, I just want them to pay more taxes. You can favor redistribution without indulging in class hatred; it’s only the defenders of privilege who try to claim otherwise.

An interesting thought, the microcosm of the city in an airport gateway. Singapore's airport, just down the road from KL, is exactly what you'd expect from a micromanaged nanny state. I think you and I would agree that Vancouver's airport is imminently British Columbian. And hello, Frankfurt, you are very efficient and slightly terrifying!
