From Volokh, via Cam Edwards:
Advanced Topics in Human Rights Law. Exam, Spring 2010. Question 4: One day, a woman goes to a gun store in Florida. She provides picture identification to the store owner, who then, pursuant to the National Instant Check System, uses his telephone to contact law enforcement, and ensure that the woman […]

Passing statistics should be a mandatory requirement for graduating from high school, and here’s an excellent reason: Detroit News uses bad statistics to misrepresent reality.
When we wrote this up on our blogs, many conservative readers attributed the misleading figures to liberal media bias. But it is more likely ignorance than malice. Every year, scores of […]

Hat tip to Ace for this (he has more pics). This dog does not look like he’s enjoying Halloween:

from SwannBlog:
Today’s decision to uphold this pay raise legislation is exactly what’s wrong with Harrisburg: the Supreme Court upholds its own pay raise and our state leaders make sure they get theirs without looking out for the people of Pennsylvania. This is outrageous. It should not take a Supreme Court decision to tell Pennsylvanians what […]

is from Instapundit, on Menendez:
You’d think that the Jersey Democrats might try nominating people who aren’t crooks.

er, st00pider than this:
“He has posters of terrorists and fascists on his living room wall. And yet the Muslim subject ‘worries that a cloud of suspicion grows’ in the community against Muslims like him.”
I hear there’s an opening at Gitmo.

Hat tip: Michelle Malkin for this gem from John Miller at National Review:
“The NYT desperately would like to think that when conservatives defend Wal-Mart from the enemies of capitalism, it’s because Wal-Mart has bought them off. You know, because in ordinary circumstances free marketeers would support the store’s demonization by the labor-backed groups that […]

Straight from Mohamed’s mouth:
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says, “there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.”
That settles that.

From John Micek:
Pennsylvanians wake to the news this morning that the state Supreme Court reinstated 10 percent raises for 1,200 state and local judges — including themselves — but rejected mid-term increases for state lawmakers.The sprawling 100-page decision released early Thursday afternoon restores judicial pay to what it was late last year, before lawmakers repealed […]

Hat tip: Jawa Report.
Arianna Huffington: Big deal if the Kurds are free from genocide!
Aren’t they cute?

Apparently, the UN figured out how to solve that icky problem, you know, about UN “peacekeepers” being serial rapists.
(Wazirabad, India) A force of 125 female Indian police officers is preparing to deploy to Liberia as UN peacekeepers to assist in the nation’s recovery from years of civil war.. The women are aged 25 to 30 […]

but MoveOn lied!

And I’m sure they’re “in touch with Nature,” too! Hat tip: Israpundit.
Ms Canada ‘03 who happened to be or Iranian descent is leading the fight on behalf of an Iranian girl, Nazanin, who was convicted of murder and is soon to be executed for the crime.
It seems the girl was a minor at the time […]

Well, other than David Gregory, is courtesy of Florida Masochist

From Ex-Donkey Blog:
On the Imus In The Morning radio show this morning, the host asked David Gregory about his questions to Snow. Gregory raised concerns that the President is trying to redefine the torture guidelines of the Convention. Imus asked, “So what?”
Gregory responded that if the U.S. did this it might set a precedent for […]

From Bullwinkle Blog:

Peace-loving Muslim activists burn an effigy of Pope Benedict XVI during a protest in Srinagar, India.
Amazing, isn’t it, how Muslim reaction always makes the point they object to? Why do you suppose that is?

In the spirit of that earlier post, I’d like to respond to this, from the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler:
Muslim leaders condemn Pope’s speech, want apology
Uhm, “Who could possibly care?” Alex?

You know I don’t take polls seriously — especially web polls — but this is so counter to what I would expect from a poll in the Centre Daily Times that I thought I’d share it (of course, the poll is still open, and the results could change radically when all the PSU faculty find […]
