Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Virtue may be its own reward, but you deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor.— February 14, 2016 4:11 p.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Don is no braggart, but preeminent describes him pretty well. What other blogger actually responds to those who comment? We all have, I believe, the responsibility to pick up the torch by which he brings us light, and to make it continue to burn as, or more, brightly as when he first lit it. That's a challenge to us all.— February 14, 2016 3:48 p.m.
Local lawyers speak on Scalia's death
Well put, Cass. May I suggest that the FF's, like any good composer of music, EXPECTED future musicians to execute her or his graphic layout of mere notes (principles) into whatever grooves happened to magically manifest themselves? I suggest also that not only did those Founding Composers EXPECT a merging of future minds with their creations, they DEMAND, by the nature of their music, that those Future Minds bring their work into full flower, EXPANDING it into other realms of being. Rigor, unfortunately (but logically) casts past excellence into a straight-jacket of mere conformity, rather than transform it into a launching pad from which humanity might soar. IF it has the guts to free itself from the Gordian Knot of obeisant rigidity of mind. "Turn him to any cause of policy, The Gordian Knot of it he will unloose, Familiar as his garter" (Shakespeare, Henry V, Act 1 Scene 1. 45–47) I feel no anger toward Scalia; he was, like all of us a Prisoner of (his particular) Context. Out of the "laughter and travail" of human existence. "The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." No one of us is so large as to be deserving of worship. Let us cast no stones but heal the hurts of those less fortunate, eh? What is the alternative? To stone them unto death, you say? Because they didn't see it your way?— February 14, 2016 3:03 p.m.
Local lawyers speak on Scalia's death
I've long recognized that Henderson is a smart fella, if a bit boyish in his manner (not a bad thing). But I have real trouble squaring his intelligence with strict constructionism, the idea that the Founding Fathers' great ideas at the time can't be improved upon, thus consigning the future to the past. I continue to believe that "blogs" (such an unfortunate moniker) such as yours could form a form of forum wherein we could advance from just spouting off and progress into the better habit of taking issues to logical conclusions bereft of ideological bias. In science, hypothesis-testing consists of attempting to DISPROVE the hypothesis rather than proving our assumptions. Unfortunately, this does not happen, at least not frequently, even on this exemplary blog, which, while it remains informative because of your reporting and the excellent minds it attracts, does not often ascend to the challenge of actually arriving at logical conclusions. Like any good lover, I accept it for what it is, and do not demand it to fully meet my expectations, but I do hold out hope for what it could be. Is there a life after blog?— February 14, 2016 2:43 p.m.

Does Henderson lurk on this blog?— February 14, 2016 8:42 a.m.

Ask Henderson if he believes that nobody has ever been smarter since than the Founding Fathers. That is, has he heard of concepts like intellectual discipline and integrity and the idea of getting at the truth over blind precedent?— February 13, 2016 11:03 p.m.
Suit charges Bridgepoint cooked books
Admitting that "internal controls are weak" is a way of deflecting attention away from the fraudulent, therefore criminal, activity. Standard, finger-pointing operations by pointing to nobody.— February 13, 2016 6:28 p.m.

Call it speculation, but if any attorney-general knows what's good for her or him, they will drop the suit. If they convict, Brown will pardon.— February 13, 2016 6:23 p.m.
