From an LA Timescolumn by Jonathan Turley: “Clarence Thomas insisted that his wife was being attacked because she believes in the same things he does and because they were ‘focused on defending liberty.’” Wow. I like liberty. Why all the brouhaha? Thomas reported “none” in answering specific questions about “spousal non-investment income” on annual forms. … In truth she had…

The Banana Boat Is In!
1905 Baltimore Harbor. To appreciate the details in the picture, you need to click here and then click on “full size.” I’m assuming this picture is taken from where the aquarium is, looking northwest. Anybody know?
Balto Tow Scandal
More from the Sun: A federal grand jury has indicted 10 Baltimore police officers and two repair shop workers…. Only 10 officers who were charged last month are named in the indictment. Seven others named in the scheme remain charged in the criminal complaint. They could be indicted later, but not taking their cases before a grand jury is typically…
The Problem With King
Peter King sees nothing wrong with the hearings he’s holding on Muslim radicalization in America. I can’t imagine anything productive or less radical coming from these hearings.

Hughbank asked if I would post it. It’s too long to post. It’s very long (too long?). But I’m happy to link to it. Mostly it’s a…
Brokeback Marijuana
It amazes me that all those rugged western cowboy can get all Big State when it comes to drugs (actually, nothing really amazes me in the war on the drugs). The headline reads: In Montana, an Economic Boom Faces Repeal Effort. Really? Because you’d think they wouldn’t be in a position to shut down money-making agriculture. A resurgent Republican majority…
