An enjoyment of religious freedom that is so much a part of the air we breathe, so expected, that we barely remember to be thankful for it. Yes I know they look down on American religious feeling in our great universities, but the Ivy League isn’t America. The suburbs of Dallas where [...]
A story in the WaPo highlights a UN weapons inspector’s hobby:
The United Nations launched perhaps its most important weapons inspections ever yesterday with a team that includes a 53-year-old Virginia man with no specialized scientific degree and a leadership role in sadomasochistic sex clubs.

Enron’s boy at the New York Times, Paul Krugman, is upset at conservatives again (so, what else is new?) The issue: some of the children of prominent conservatives have jobs in government or media. For shame.

Not to be outdone on the irresponsible Libertarian voting scandal, Radley Balko’s Cato colleague Randy Barnett blames it on Republicans:
