Yesterday’s disappearance was due to a thrice-annual thrice-darned Training Days.  But I’m making it up to you with a questionnaire on rabies.

Via Insty, an excellent essay by Richard Epstein.  Excellent…but not perfect.  Mr. Epstein quotes the excellent but not perfect John Stuart Mill: That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, … Continue reading →

</sarcasm> Despite our hotel’s complementary USA Todays, I spent the week amazingly ignorant of current events.  It was sweeeeeeet. But apparently you guys let things go to heck during my vacation.  Osama blamed the deaths of 9-11-01 on thousands of … Continue reading →
