This is interesting...

...but plainly bogus. To verify the accuracy of this, I punched in some other blog addresses. When the Volokh Conspiracy -- a heavy-duty law-blog -- is assessed as a "Junior High School" reading level, something is up.

Mukasey confirmed

The Senate last night confirmed former judge Michael Mukasey to replace Alberto Gonzales as attorney general. A divided Senate narrowly confirmed former federal judge Michael B. Mukasey last night as the 81st attorney general, giving the nominee the lowest level of congressional support of any Justice Department leader in the past half-century. The 53 to […]

Earmark outrage

This story is a week old, but I'm trying to clean up some of the browser windows that I've got open. Concurrent Technologies began two decades ago doing metalworking research in Pennsylvania's struggling rust belt. In the years since, the Johnstown, Pa., company has become a federal contracting chameleon. It is an intelligence adviser, an […]

The farm fraud

USA Today has a good article on the farm bill currently making its way through Congress. Remember, whenever you hear about the farm bill it's you who's getting the shaft. Rep. Marion Berry, D-Ark., says the system works well. He and his family's farming interests received almost $2.4 million in federal payments from 1995-2005, records […]

In search of

Mark Hemingway over at National Review Online makes a brief request at the end of a post about how Vietnam Vets were treated by the left about his father's search for a hero. Oh and by the way, if any of you reading this happen to be the student at CU in the early seventies […]
