Hiatus

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

This blog probably goes silent tomorrow. I have to go to New Jersey for work related reasons, and I don’t expect to get back until late tomorrow night. In the meantime, a few predictions: tomorrow we will learn from the Clintonites that North Carolina doesn’t count, since it is a red state, unlike Indiana which […]

Counting crimes

Monday, May 5, 2008

The Washington Post reports that fiscal restraints may be leading some states to reverse the trend toward ever higher rates of incarceration. What logic and proportion cannot do, the lack of money can sometimes accomplish. It seems that it is very expensive to incarcerate people, and there does come a point at which even politicians […]

It’s a holiday!

Thursday, May 1, 2008

For most of the world, it’s May Day. For George Bush, it’s Mission Accomplished Day. For us lawyers, it’s Law Day, a reaction to May Day, no doubt. Herewith, (via Lawyers, Guns and Money) in honor of Law Day, a liberal lawyer’s wet dream, at least the first half of it is: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GG7sj2APpc[/youtube] Being a […]

Pushing back

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Apparently John Kerry learned something from the Swift Boat episode: This is what Democrats need to do. Like all bullies, and the broadcast press is composed primarily of bullies, they back down in the face of determined opposition. Notice the look on her face when he pushes back. One of the reasons we need to […]

JJB Dinner tomorrow

Sunday, April 27, 2008

I have inflicted very few posts on the world lately. My kids were here visiting this weekend, so my output has decreased quite a bit. Tomorrow, it’s unlikely that I’ll have much to say. We’re going to the JJB dinner to hear Joe Biden speak. Once again, we expect to see nothing of Joe Lieberman, […]

A trip down memory lane

Saturday, April 26, 2008

We are rapidly approaching the 5th anniversary of our victory in the war in Iraq. Tonight marks another anniversary, the 2nd anniversary of Stephen Colbert’s appearance at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Editor and Publisher reports that the New York Times has, since (because of?) that appearance, decided that it is inappropriate to attend the […]

Don’t forget

Thursday, April 24, 2008

The first Thursday of May is also the First Day of May, so Drinking Liberally comes early. Join us at the Bulkeley House on May 1st, at 7:00 PM. Who knows, it may be nice enough for us to move outside.

A little help, please

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

When I upgraded WordPress my old spamcatcher stopped working, so I downloaded another plug in, which seems to be working eerily well. Before I’d get about 10-15 bogus comments a day to delete; now I get none. This has me a little worried that some real comments are not getting through. If any of you […]

Talking about earmarks

Monday, April 21, 2008

A few observations on a recent article in the Norwich Bulletin, in which Sean Sullivan’s campaign suggests that Joe Courtney should reveal all his earmark requests, not only those that were successful, as current rules require. First, as a practical matter, this issue is a non-starter at the Congressional level. Earmarks are only bad when […]
