Semi-Permanent Vacation

I've been going back and forth on this for some time.  But I've decided it's time to take a break from blogging for a while, maybe longer.   I'm not quitting for good -- I consider it more like taking "senior status."  I'll continue to post now and ...

In The Hot Seat

The League of Ordinary Gentleman is a good blog -- one you should be reading.  However, one of the writers there, Mark Thompson, has recently shown some questionable judgment by deciding to interview me about admin law and FCC stuff.  But you should ...

David Martin, Disgrace to the Legal Profession

The defense had tried to find a fire expert to counter Vasquez and Fogg’s testimony, but the one they contacted concurred with the prosecution. Ultimately, the defense presented only one witness to the jury: the Willinghams’ babysitter, who said she ...

Fred Hiatt's Strange Argument

Nothing crazy so far.  But Hiatt goes off the rails when he tries to blame these cost problems on the public option itself.  The logic, as I understand it, is that adopting the public option prevents Congress from taking "real" steps on cost ...

The Public Option's Most Frustrating Opponent

Despite its new momentum, the public option has a powerful new opponent -- the White House.  It's incredibly frustrating.  Although Reid is close to getting 60 votes on cloture, Obama and Rahm (who, for all his bluster, is politically timid) are ...

Just Tax

I have to admit that I don't like the idea of the government stepping in to dictate compensation levels, TARP funds or no TARP funds.  I'm certainly not morally opposed to it -- heck, many of these people deserve far worse. The problem, though, is that ...

RedState Wonkery on Open Networks

I wasn't expecting the good folks at RedState to endorse open networks.  But RedState's Neil Stevens threw me for a loop with this one:  Ah yes, let's hope gritty upstart AT&T can survive this.  Anyway, I was brave enough to click the link, which led ...

A Critical, Inexcusable Blogging Error

I am furious at myself for not naming last night's post "It's a 'Part E' in the U.S.A."  You don't get that sort of opportunity very often, and I blew it. TrackBack URL for this entry: http://www.typepad.com/services/trackback/6a00d834515c2369e20120a663 ...
