I must not be trying hard enough

I rated this blog with a place called “Mingle2″ (who uses it as a come-on for an online dating site, so I’d suggest that you don’t put their code on your page, unless you like hosting free ads).

SCOTUS Gitmo!

Whether it’s a bolt from the blue — or, as with many decisions handed down last week, a blot from the blue — the Supreme Court has broken with tradition to reverse itself on whether to reverse a ruling on our weird naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, a country it’s allegedly illegal for Michael [...]
