This is a good sign. The oral argument in McDonald v. Chicago will be on my birthday, March 2, 2010. It’s going to go well for Alan Gura and his clients (plaintiffs). I can feel it.

I’ve changed the name of this blog because I found that it is used by some other blogs which, upon perusing them, I don’t think much of them and don’t want to be confused with them. I thought that T-JAW was a clever abbreviation for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.” As usual I’ve found,…

The “Look Inside” link won’t work, but this one will. My commitment to liberty and my belief that we’re all different and as free citizens (as opposed to mere subjects) we make our own decisions usually keeps me from telling other people what they should do with their lives, but here and now I would…

On whether bloggers are simply re-cycling old media news stories, Mark Steyn sets it straight: That’s laughably untrue in the Warmergate story. If you rely on the…

[Links were broken — Now fixed!] One is never too old to appreciate true erotica in the movies, or on TV. But there are a couple of problems. First, one would have to find it. That becomes a problem after one understands what true erotica actually is, and that too often mere pornography is offered…

The train derailment last night on the Moscow to St. Petersburg line, which killed at least 26 people, was apparently a terrorist attack, according to Russian officials. Story here. More at Powerlineblog.
