• From the branch of government that brings you legislation without being a legislature:
  Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner is still upset that mere senators, congressmen, and citizens were lookin over her hallowed shoulders:

  Last week, O’Connor used a speech at Georgetown University to attack pro-life lawmakers who sided with Terri Schiavo’s parents in their efforts to prevent their daughter’s euthanasia death. She claimed a Congressional effort to have federal courts review the case was a first step towards a dictatorship.

  What a bunch of hyperbolic blather. Good riddance, Sandy.

• Is This a Trend Yet?

  

• John Fund has been following the story of the 4th-grade educated former Taliban Propaganda Minister who was allowed to enroll at Yale. So should you. One excellent question I read somewhere but can’t recall where: Why didn’t Yale consider a talented woman from recently liberated Afghanistan instead, instead of someone who was harboring Osama bin Laden when September 11, 2001 attacks were carried out?
• Being a Wrong Leftist Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry — Gateway Pundit has a great rundown of what politicians opposing the Iraq War were saying just before it began three years ago. I have small excerpt to add from the Columnist Division on that topic (bold is mine):
  

  These are the last days of relative calm before we start bombing and massacring hundreds of thousands of people and in so doing enter into what many believe will a very long, drawn-out, insanely expensive, volatile, destabilizing, completely unwinnable war …..
  Uh-huh.

Lunchtime Assignment:

• (Warning: Foul Language Is in the Pictures at These Links) Visit Zombietime’s gallery of pictures from a third-year Operation Iraqi Freedom anniversary protests (yeah, plural - go there and see why) in San Francisco that the WORMs (Worn-Out Reactionary Media, known to most as The Mainstream Media) don’t want you to see. If you still have time, go to Michelle Malkin’s mostly pictorial chronicle of the fizzled March in DC.
