Killing People is Expensive

Oct 20, 2009
And yet another study pointing out what we all already know: At 678, California has the nation’s largest death row population, yet the state has not executed anyone in four years. But it spends more than $130 million a year on its capita...

Soldiers Need Socks...Someone Please Explain This

Oct 7, 2009
Not sure if you have paid attention, but a remote outpost in Afghanistan was assaulted this weekend by Taliban forces, and they breached the perimeter and killed a bunch of our guys. This write-up at CNN sounds like something out of Platoon or We We...

They Should Have Said "They're Not un-American, They're Just On The Other Side"

Aug 10, 2009
Oh Noes! Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer took a break from administering forced abortion to white teenage girls and designing the new death panels for your granny to pen an op-ed in USA Today: However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is unde...

Lonesome Deer

Steelers Open Thread

Nov 29, 2009
This time for reals, although I don’t even feel like it is game day. I sort of feel like this is a scrimmage or a pre-season game, because I honestly have no expectation that we might win. I guess this is what it is like to be a Browns fan. In...

Give 'em enough thread

Nov 29, 2009
There was a request for an open thread, even though there are two fresh threads up already. I do what I’m told. Question: I did some wine-tasting in the Willamette Valley yesterday (visiting my sister in Portland). Any interest in some wine...

Fresh voices!

Nov 29, 2009
I missed this: the winner of the WaPo Next Great Pundit contest is Michelle Rhee’s ex-husband. Rhee is the chancellor of the DC schools and a darling of the Post (as well as David Brooks, Joe Klein, and the rest of teachers’ union-hating punditocratic...

Abuse of position

Nov 29, 2009
One thing that’s quite striking in the health care debate is the lack of detailed analysis opponents are presenting in their arguments. Compare Ron Brownstein’s positive analysis of the Senate bill for example, with David Broder’s meandering, senility...
