Cox & Forkum: Global Test
My Last Post on the First Debate
My Last Post on the First Debate
The Shape of Days points to a hilarious essay at Lileks . Here's just a small sample:
" Ask yourself this: you’re a dictator who has violated the terms of a peace treaty over and over again, and frequently shoots at the planes enforcing the treaties. Who do you fear the most? A) The magnificent concert of allies in the UN, some of whom you’ve bought off, who are desperate to prove their legitimacy by prolonging the process into the 22nd century
B) The United States, Britain and Australia, who have several hundred thousand troops on your border and frankly are in no mood to put up your crap any longer"

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. --Richard Feynman

John Kerry: Lapsed lawyer of little legal luster
John Kerry: Lapsed lawyer of little legal luster:
"I began doing the research for this post on the assumption that John Kerry and I have something in common — that we are both experienced trial lawyers.
I ended that research having concluded that John Kerry's claims to be an accomplished trial lawyer and top prosecutor are almost certainly more overstated than his claims to have been a great war hero — and that for at least the past eight years and probably longer, he'd have been committing a crime himself if he'd actually tried to represent any client in any court."
