Three random items of interest:

1. The United States vaunted military-industrial complex has apparently forgotten the technical knowledge necessary to make Trident missiles.
2. Robert P. George and Eric Cohen on President Barack Obama's odious embryonic stem cell research funding decision.
3. Ed Whelan compares President Barack Obama's signing statement issued with the $410 billion omnibus spending bill to related statements made by President George W. Bush. For those too lazy to click over, put on your cynic's hat and you'd be right -- there's no appreciable difference.
