Is there any other word that can explain this nonsense? The question of whether or not Mark McGwire used steroids in somehow of great national importance? Smoke. Mirrors.
We know that the security case for the Iraqi war is gone. Saddam had no weapons and no weapons programs to speak of, and Iraq's conventional capabilities were meagre. We.
With Rob and Lindsay having spoken, I suppose I should put forth my best of the 90s list. Like Rob. I don't think there's any question that the 90s were far.
Eugene Volokh, while often one of the best conservative bloggers, has always teetered precariously over the shark tank of wingnuttery, and now he's dived right in.
