The Supreme Court (Kinda) Gets One Right

The Supreme Court ruled today 5-4 to overrule Washington DC’s ban on handguns.  This is a rare issue where the President and Vice-President openly took opposing sides.  President Bush was hoping for the ban to remain in effect while Vice-President Cheney was in favor of overruling the ban.
While the Supreme Court ruled that the ban [...]

It’s sad to see someone who “gets it” leave the stage of life.  I chose the “Education” video because it is Carlin at his best – social and political commentary on America and on Washington.
