I like the folks at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and I'm glad that they have a new web journal, First Principles, but how do you start a website in 2007 with no syndication feeds?

Horse slaughtering was banned in Illinois this year. Has that spared horses the cruelty of being treated like... um... every other animal? Of course not! Now they're all crammed into trailers and shipped under grueling conditions to Mexico where the slaughterhouses (and the jobs!) went. Well, all except for the ones that won't yield enough meat to justify the increased shipping costs -- those are just shot. Congratulations PETA!
By the way, Catrin Einhorn is awesome. The New York Times should totally give her a raise. Tray ball!
