I've done a courtesy search for the term but its cute when we do it for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• Crazy, Insane vs. Insane, Crazy

  One of the themes I always return to is “it’s cute when we do it”, which is shorthand for the way Democrats and their media dogwashers will denounce the Republicans for … well, take your pick: filibusters, indefinite detention, unconstitutional wars, signing statements, executive overreach, etc. … but then go eerily quiet when Obama does the exact same fucking thing. Or even worse, they will somehow contort themselves to believe that Obama’s behavior is better … Read more

• Trayvon Martin

  The Trayvon Martin case has been rising slowly in the news. We don’t know everything a this point. But a basic picture has emerged.

  George Zimmerman, 28, a neighborhood watch volunteer with a long history of calling in everything from open garage doors to “suspicious characters,” called police to say he had spotted someone who looked drugged, was walking too slowly in the rain, and appeared to be looking at people’s houses. Zimmerman sounded alarmed

• The Stresses Of Combat

  How much can a soldier take and still be combat effective? Generals and the medical personnel that treat those afflicted have been wrestling with this since, well, aggression was invented. Leonidas and the Trojans had it easy ,”Either come home with your shield, or On it”. Even Patton couldn’t figure it out, and his failure cost him plenty. But the answers are as nubulous as asking what motivates a soldier?

  Last week I wrote about … Read more

• A Surplus of Law

  I finally, somewhat belatedly, read Harvey Silverglate’s Three Felonies a Day. The book is a bit different from the title. It doesn’t actually argue that Americans commit three felonies a day. But it does argue that vague laws, ambitious prosecutors, regulatory complexity and the abandonment of mens rea — the principle that criminal charges should be brought only for intentional violations of the law — have created an environment in which massive swathes of … Read more

• Dying With Your Stethoscope On

  I’ve been mulling over this absolute must-read for some time:

  It’s not a frequent topic of discussion, but doctors die, too. And they don’t die like the rest of us. What’s unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what

• Amateur hour continued

  It seems that we have the amateurs making more comedy as they violate a law they passed themselves:

  It’s not every day that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that the Executive Office of the President violated federal law, but that’s the conclusion the GAO released in a report this month, after reviewing bilateral talks with the Chinese government hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

  The White House Office

• The Two Americas

  Maggie McNeill has a post up today about Judge Jack Camp.

  One year ago today I reported the story of Jack T. Camp, a federal judge in Atlanta, Georgia who made a career of throwing the book at people for consensual crimes; he fell for a stripper whom the F.B.I. then bribed into betraying her client by promising to drop other consensual crime charges against her. So she led him into a fake drug deal

• Gunrunner update: another prediction comes true

  Which one is that? Well, the one where I pointed out that such a complicated multi-agency operation could simply not happen without the top people at the DOJ driving it, and the DOJ would not drive it without the WH telling them to, and now we find out that Holder at a minimum was informed of this in briefings as this link shows:

  WASHINGTON – New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric

• It’s Sure Not “Weak TEA” – It’s Weak Republican Spines

  I hate to say “I told you so,” but this was so predictable as to make anyone who couldn’t see it coming incompetent to comment on national issues.

  GOP member of supercommittee leaves door open to raising revenue

  Surprise! NOT!

  Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) on Wednesday left the door open to allowing some revenue to be raised as part of the final package produced by the deficit-cutting supercommittee of which he is a member.

  “I

• One Up, One Down

  Tim Pawlenty is dropping out after yesterday’s disappointing result in the Iowa straw poll, which was won by Bachmann. I’m surprised. Pawlenty wasn’t too far back in the non-crazy division of the GOP field. But it’s become clear that he’s not going to overtake Romney. I suspect there are structural problems within the campaign as well.

  However, as the GOP field lost one governor, it gained another in Ricky Perry. Perry’s appeal is mostly due … Read more
