World’s Youngest Blogger Reacts To Obama’s Speech, Phone-In, Whatever

Come on, Mr. President: a 50 days old I’ve done less whiffy work in my nappies than you’re doing at 50 years.

4th Circuit Court To Virginia: If We Say You Lack Standing, We Can Ignore You

by Smitty (via Lisa Graas) I don’t want to get too upset about this horrendous abortion of a legal opinion handed down from the 4th Circle of Hell, emphasis mine: The decision is no surprise given the stacked nature of the panel, as computers at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that […]
