Suicide-Bombing the Messenger  —  Well, not yet, but it's only a matter of time.  Al-Jazeera slammed by jihadis: … Not to mentioning getting soft in the cave, and maybe soft in the turban, too. … As a J instructor I had used to say, "When the revolution comes, both sides will shoot us first."

An Ex-Libertarian  —  Glenn Reynolds comes out of the closet and says he's no longer a libertarian.  After four years of his defending or ignoring every abuse of government power under the Bushies, this is hardly a surprise.  But the caricature of many freedom-lovers offered by Stephen Green is silly.
