For those of you not familiar with Arizona, there is a little town in Yavapai County named Bagdad. It ain’t big, but I’ve actually been there. 35 years or so ago my aunt and uncle ran a drive-in movie theater there, and they also published a weekly paper. They were undoubtedly members of Bagdad’s Chamber …
As I write this, I’m listening to the first baseball broadcast of the new season. I’m a fan; I have been since 1959, when I was a kid in Los Angeles. The city was discovering the newly-arrived Dodgers at the same time I was, and we were rewarded by a World Series championship that year. …
OMG! I have shareholders! Must maximize value, must maximize value!
Imagine you’re a 13-year old girl. You’re an amateur, playing in your 4th LPGA Tour event, which also happens to be the first major of the year. You make the cut playing with the pros for the first time yesterday. So what do you do today? Why, go out and shoot a six-under 66, good …

Speaking of the cabal, here are further details about Perle’s resignation, and another explanation of their rise and plan. In domestic …
My primary client graduated from Notre Dame, so I have to say this very quietly in case he reads it: Arizona whupped his guys, 88 – 71. In other whimsy, I am now listed on Blogshares. Go look, buy shares, make yourself (virtually) rich. Always remember two things: 1) Buy low, sell high and 2) …
Josh Marshall has a new article at The Washington Monthly. In it he lays out a possible scenario for the Administration’s hawks (Perle, Wolfowitz, et. al.), and it’s not a pretty picture. If he’s right, Iraq is step one on a long climb. In breaking news, Perle has resigned. It’s unclear just what impact, if …
Pursuant to the commentary below about President Bush and religion, and in light of this bill in the House (it calls for a national day of prayer and fasting), I thought it would be interesting to see what Thomas Jefferson had to say on the subject. Here’s the text of the founding precept behind the …
If you feel that scoring political points against trial lawyers should not be done on the backs of desperately ill children, go read this. It’s that damned Eli Lilly vaccine ingredient exemption which was deleted from the Homeland Security Bill at the insistence of Senators Snowe and Collins. It’s returned, but with an additional fillip; …
