Then and now
Once upon a time, say five years ago, my ritual on the night before any given Saturday of college football season (at least one with an ND home game) would have been something like this: Go out with friends to Corby’s, have a bunch of drinks, talk football and law nerdery and miscellaneous nonsense, then head to The Backer, have… Read more »
Revisionist constitutional history
“What part of the Constitution says you get to take over health care?” That would have been an excellent question to ask — in 1965. But I haven’t exactly seen a groundswell of conservatives asking it in the 44 years since Medicare became law, calling for the repeal of this obviously unconstitutional program. Nor, certainly, was this question being so… Read more »

The space shuttle Discovery is presently docked at the International Space Station, and the combined facility will be visible from most of North America over the coming days.

Let’s Go Rockies!
Comments Off on Let’s Go Rockies!
Looks like my Coors Field winning streak may be coming to an end… but Iannetta hit a solo home run immediately after I took this picture. Still, it’s Mets 6, Rockies 1 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th. Correction: 6-2! Back to back HRs! Stewart. Woo!
Fearless predictions
With the season getting underway in less than seven hours, I’d better publish these now… • Notre Dame will go 9-3. They’ll barely survive a scare from Nevada, then lose one out of the Big Ten trio (Michigan/MSU/Purdue), then beat Washington to come into the USC game at 4-1. There will be much talk of waking up the echoes. It… Read more »
Again with the reminders, oy
1. Tonight, starting at 10pm EDT (8pm MDT), come to my informal Boise State-Oregon Live Chat, and help me test a variety of chat-platform options (and a couple of live-scoreboard widgets). Heck, you can check ’em out now if you like, but I figure “testing” will be easier if we have at least a handful of people together at the… Read more »
