Lately EVERYONE and EVERYTHING has been pissing me off. The kids who roll strollers down the hill that I have to drive up to park in front of my apartment. The people who try to run me over to get...
BEFORE the November elections, many Democratic candidates and legal academics insisted that the Iraq war was illegal and that only Congress, not the president, had the power to manage it under the Constitution. Interestingly, now that Democrats control Capitol Hill,...
