Chepooka wrote yesterday about George Bush flip-flopping on the war. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” she said and suggested that fellow bloggers spread the word. I wasn’t going to do it just yet for two reasons. One is that I was planning to work today on the second installment of “Marbury v. Madison,” […]

I’m not sure what these two incidents show. Incident Number One: Yang, the bronze medalist, was wrongly docked a tenth of a point on his parallel bars routine.

Increasingly, Americans are being arrested and/or losing their jobs for speaking out against George Bush. Last month, Charleston City Council apologized to two protesters arrested for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts to the president’s July 4 rally.
