And so it begins: Brandon Raub, a 26-year-old former Marine who completed tours of Iraq and Afghanistan and lives in Chesterfield, Va., was recently arrested and forcibly committed to a psychiatric facility for mental evaluation by a court based solely on controversial Facebook postings, which took the form of song lyrics, political messages and virtual card games. Now, the court has ordered Raub to be transferred to a psychiatric ward

“Barack Obama And Ruling By Presidential Decree” — a scandalous column for which there are only two words:   Un.  Helpful. Sad. I can remember a time when Sowell presented reasonable opinions reasonably and didn’t engage in such naked rape of the political language. I said Good Day, sir!  

And?  Obama promised to do just that. Necessarily. Look:  I understand that many of us are so cynical about politics these days that we’re stunned when politicians carry through on what they say they’re going to do.    We recognize that America is different now — that most of our goods are manufactured in China, and that most of our political candidates are manufactured in focus groups.  But when what they

me: “Hot out, ain’t it? Probably that global warming.” person I don’t know but was being friendly with: “Probably.” me: “Heh. Wait, are you being serious?” person I don’t know but was being friendly with: “Of course. You weren’t?” me: “No.” person I don’t know but was being friendly with: “Wow. Really? In this political climate? No offense, pal, but you should drop out of the Senate race immediately. The
