Tracking economists’ consensus on money illusion, as a proxy for Keynesianism
Inflation-adjustment, or adjustment for cost-of-living, is hardly ever built into wage contracts.
Thats partially true. Though you are correct to the extent that these days with with low inflation and at will employment (so no contract), the compensation for most employees is obviously not related to inflation/cost of living.
However, in union contracts, or any employment where there is an actual contract especially in inflationary times, this is not an uncommon clause. Now the standard clause is usually not a direct multiplier but in the form of intervals where you re-negotiate the wage or some variant of that.
Even today, a lot of the collective bargaining agreements and public employee contracts contain some variation of wage adjustment clauses.
I think once Obama's trillions inventually (hopefully soon) lead to inflationary pressure on the economy, these adjustment clauses will be back in vogue again.

The decline, or at least shift in focus, of neoconservative foreign policy?
A stable, functioning democracy in Iraq is the best deterrent to Iran
A stable and mostly democratic Iran has not been much of a deterrent to Iraq.

I can't finish the course (and keep my job) unless I agree it would be illegal for the University Transportation Office to refuse to hire any driver who has been convicted of a felony, because this is presumed to be racial discrimination.
This doesnt sound right. Can you please cite the regulation, law or court case which has determined that and is current law in 2008?

Interracial marriage and Asian Americans
The illegals in country are known to be quite a bit larger. I am not knowledgeable enough as to whether what is referred to as 'visas by marriage' would include those who arrived (legal or not) in USA, and then get married and get an 'adjustment of status' to permanent residence status. Add all these figures up... and they add up.
Off topic but interestingly enough, you cannot adjust your status if you came into the US illegally i.e. (sneaked in through the borders- technically called 'Entry without Inspection')
That is why the millions of illegal Mexican immigrants in the US cannot adjust their status by marrying a US Citizen.

The Archbishop Speaks
In the UK there is emerging evidence of (possibly, indeed probably) hundreds of 'honour killings' of young British women in relation to their sexual behaviour and choice of partners
Could you link to the evidence please. Hundred seems like a lot. Is it over a year or decades?

I have read about the Archbishop's statements on a bunch of different websites and its no surprise that GNXP has the most sane post and mostly sane comments.Volokh has done a good job as well.
A few points:
(1)If there is ever an implementation of Sharia in the West, we can get a rough idea on how it might play out by looking at the system used in India, where Indian Muslims settle matters of personal law in accordance to the Sharia. It excludes matters of Criminal law and Commerical transactions and only covers issues of divorce, alimony, child custody and inheritance. The adjudication is actually done on Common Law principles by secular Courts and by mostly Hindu judges.
(2) In the US, some of the devout and high SES Muslims already follow the Sharia in matters of inheritance via trusts and wills and on divorce via pre-nups. In fact in some of the more savvy mosques, the standard Islamic marriage contract is laid out in the form of a pre-nup which meet the requirements of a pre-nup for that state.
(3) There will be a serious First Amendment problem if the 'Indian' model is ever implemented in the US.
