  • No Autopsy on Bhutto's Body

    That’ll put to rest all questions: … Bhutto was not killed by gunshots, as had been widely reported, and doctors at Rawalpindi General Hospital, where she died, say there were no bullet marks on the former … Perhaps more shockingly, an attendee at the rally where Bhutto was killed says police charged with protecting her […]

  • Peggy Noonan is an Idiot

    Glen G: On behalf of the throngs for whom she fantasizes she speaks, Noonan proclaims: “We are grown-ups . . . We’d like knowledge, judgment, a prudent understanding of the world and of the ways and histories of the men and women in it.” This grown-up then proceeds to pronounce that Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Thompson […]

  • Spot On/Off

    I feel awful. A guy at the gym asked me to spot him on a bench press – he was bench pressing about 200 pounds. I stood over him. The first 2 reps were fine. The 3rd he managed to get through and then something snapped and the bar fell on him. I didn’t move […]

  • Landmark Case Today: Center for Constitutional Right Argues Before SCOTUS Today

    Stream while you work. The Center for Constitutional Rights has eclipsed the ACLU in my eyes. CCR is always pushing the courts to limit the abuse of power of Mr. Bush (and don’t think Mr. Romney or Giuliani or Obama or Ms. Clinton won’t abuse this power as well). What may be one of the […]

  • 'You Will Not Touch Him/This is The Hour' from Miss Saigon

    Kim (Lea Salonga) reveals her son, fathered by an American GI, to her betrothed cousin, Thuy. As violence erupts indoors, Saigon falls and a parade honoring Ho Chi Minh runs through the streets. I could probably watch this every day and still have the same breathless reaction to it. When I talk about how I […]
