Keep at least 5-10 mill in reserve or you might spend two hours on game night re-drawing cards and hoping for the best.

Ann Althouse cuts to the chase on how being a judge is supposed to work:
Scalia is resisting telling us about his personal views because they are irrelevant to the work of a judge, and he’s modeling upstanding judicial behavior, saying what the law is and nothing more.
The second quote is even better than the first:
You may think it’s cruel of Scalia to deprive us of soothing words, but don’t be tricked about why he writes like that. Scalia is adhering to the most basic legal proposition that judges must decide cases according to the law and leave the rest to the processes of democracy
In a democracy it is the people representatives who are supposed to make the law. Ann gets it. I think a debate on the subject between her and Darren Hutchinson would fill a hall and expand the mind.

If there is a better argument for the 2nd amendment than this column I haven’t heard it.
It’s a story like this that the “better judged by 12 then carried by 6”. saying is made for.
Picking up on the Drums along the Mohawk quote I imagined how the exchange would go with the president:
America: “President Obama have you ever run any kind of business or economy or even gotten a paycheck from a profit making business?”
President: “No but I need to run GM and get control of the banks and the health care system.”
America: “Well that’s ok, a man’s got to start somewhere. We have hope for your change”
Just a reminder, the general who is the source of the other quote in the movie…he died.
