Grizzly Man on the Discovery Channel
If I convinced you to watch Grizzly Man, you can watch it on the Discovery Channel tonight and tomorrow night. It’s playing at 8 pm and midnight Eastern Time on these nights.
Blago’s Bubble
Evidently Illinois’ governor, Rod Blagojevich, doesn’t get out much:
Blagojevich says he didn’t realize “The Daily Show” was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-puzzled governor.
At the very least, isn’t this what politicians have aides for? Here’s the clip from the [...]
Buckley on Iraq
I still think the war in Iraq was that the right course of action. While I think the Bush administration has been pretty incompetent in the post-war occupation, the larger question is would the outcome have been more successful given even the best post-war planning or were the initial conditions of the situation such [...]

Political Role Reversals
From Andrew Sullivan:
It will take a generation to undo the damage that Bush has done to conservatism, America’s fiscal health, and the whole idea of limited government. My prediction: we will see huge tax increases soon after Bush leaves the scene. He will insist they are a betrayal of his legacy. They will, in fact, [...]
The White House Gets Pwned By Google
( Business and Matt's Posts and News and Politics and Science and Technology )
In court papers, Google calls the Bush Administration’s search data request “so uninformed as to be nonsensical”
“The very fact that the Government is so uninformed about the value of search and URL information and so dismissive of Google’s interest in protecting it speaks volumes about why the Court should protect Google from this compelled disclosure,” [...]
The University of Illinois Gets a NY Times Article

When Dicks Pull the Trigger at Inopportune Times
I guess that we should consider ourselves fortunate to live in this time of the bicentennial event of a Vice President shooting someone (the last being Aaron Burr in 1804). These things are rarer than seeing Halley’s Comet! A true spectacle that probably won’t be seen for about seven generations.

Loving the Leviathan?
Some interesting contrarian food for thought by one of the highest ranking libertarians in the federal system, Alex Kozinski, a judge on the United State Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit:
There is, alas, a lingering nostalgia for the vision of the minimalist state as a purer form of government, one that advances everyone’s economic [...]
Tonight We’re Going To Party Like It’s 1599
