Ed Rollins, in the midst of excusing torture, revives the Everything-Was-So-Confusing defense of the previous regime: Things aren’t as simple as they were in the old days, when, for the most part, countries had conflicts with each other and they went to war wearing different-colored uniforms so you knew who your enemy was and where […]

Mark Penn has a follow-up to the post that Rob made fun of earlier. And it gets worse. Remember, there are people who pay money to this guy to compile and evaluate data: The question of how much traff
Mr. Trevino took issue with my claim that Texas has seceded from two different countries in order to protect the right of white people to own black people. Dr. Loomis takes issue with Mr. Trevino, and messes with Texas in the process.
Mark Penn is messing with my business: It takes about 100,000 unique visitors a month to generate an income of $75,000 a year. Bloggers can get $75 to $200 for a good post, and some even serve as R
Apparently, the ability of the War On (some classes of people who use some) Drugs to act as a solvent in which the Fourth Amendment vanishes has some limits. Today, the Supreme Court ruled that a sear
