Marty Golden’s office was planning career-development classes for his “female constituents,” where participants will “‘refresh’ their knowledge of what’s new in

So, Mr. Obama, the job numbers are in and more people than ever have dropped out of the labor force? What are you telling people to do? [Darleen Click]
O!: “Go to Howard Johnson’s …” Today in Ohio, lost in all the flurry of the news about the jobs numbers, was a speech almost as strange and depressing given by our current president, Barack Obama, as he talked about his own childhood. This way of life and standard of living, he appeared to say, is the American ideal and what people should be prepared to settle for: Nobody expected

Well, maybe so. But let’s not let a little political theater distract from the inherent truthiness, namely, that each day in the US, 50000 gay men and women are beaten, abused, mocked, drawn and quartered, and beheaded (all while looking fabulous!) — and the bulk of this abuse comes from filthy intolerant teabagging Christers. A college student who complained about receiving anti-gay notes, has admitted to police that she wrote

“Before last week, I know of no legal authority in the United States who claimed to hold this position.”
CJ Roberts is kicking the hoary old Constitution’s ass and taking names! Even if that means making shit up to get where he needs to get, and kick the can down the road: ..if the strength of the legal reasoning of an opinion is relevant to assessing the motivation of its author – as has been so long and loudly done for all five justices in the majority of the

WSJ: A handful of local officials in California who say the housing bust is a public blight on their cities may invoke their eminent-domain powers to restructure mortgages as a way to help some borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth. […] Eminent domain allows a government to forcibly acquire property that is then reused
