Take John Yoo to the International Criminal Courtnew
Yoo blithely tossed out the window the legal principle, enshrined in federal law, of posse comitatus, which says that the military cannot exercise law-enforcement functions that are the province of state officials. The president, in wartime, has the powers of a king, if you believe what Yoo wrote.

Election '08: Enough With 'Concern Trolling'new
"Concern trolling" is the practice of asking ostensibly earnest questions, usually by partisans masquerading as someone "concerned" about an issue, usually about the other party. It's also a tactic practiced quite often by the mainstream media. This turns elections that should be about issues into drama criticism and popularity contests.

President ... Obama?new
Maybe I've been wrong about what can and can't happen in relation to race in America. Maybe we're finally living in a country where you can honestly, honestly, tell every child that she can truly be anything she wants to be when she grows up.

God in The Cabinetnew
Mitt Romney says that he wouldn't put a Muslim in the cabinet because there just aren't enough of them in the United States to warrant it. I guess that means that right off the bat, Romney's using a quota system to decide who does deserve cabinet posts under a President Mitt.
