I Demand to be Included in Legal Insurrection’s Sinister StopRush Conspiracy Theory
I had forgotten about Legal Insurrection and its author, William Jacobson, an Ivy League law professor who’s nuttier than a pecan-pistachio-peanut butter sandwich. He last appeared as a subject in this blog nearly three years ago, when he spent the … Continue reading

It took all of about five minutes for the cyberspace tinfoil-hat brigade to mutter the names of David Kellerman and Vince Foster in the same breath. Just twelve hours later, I found a comment on another blog (I won’t link … Continue reading
Blue Shift
The universe is in a state of explosion. We know it’s expanding because of the red shift in visible light. And not only is almost everything in the universe going away from us, it’s actually getting faster over time. But … Continue reading
"Ted" the Comment Troll
I’ve had to enable comment moderation. I was hoping to avoid that for as long as possible, but as of this morning I discovered yet another batshit insane comment from a Blogspot spammer named “Ted” who thinks Obama’s middle name … Continue reading →
