Obama Administration’s Top Legal ‘Experts’ Pwned by Blogger in Australia

Guest Post by “Badger Pundit.” Illustrating Glenn Reynolds’s “Army of Davids” observation about how the internet enables ordinary but competent people to beat Big Media, Big Government, and other goliaths which formerly enjoyed a near-monopoly over public policy debate even if lacking in competence, back in 2008 an American blogger, Dwight Sullivan, pwned all the […]
