Uh-oh. See what happens when you quit your job for no coherent reason at all? People get the impression that you are a flake and they don’t want to hire you!

Jon Stewart destroys Bill Kristol on Health Care.
He actually gets Kristol to admit government run health care is better than private health care.
Yup, this is an absolute must watch. I can’t believe Kristol stood behind that statement.

This is what some might call “acting stupidly.”
Further, Sgt. James Crowley noted in his report that he radioed police headquarters to let them know he was with the person who appeared to be the home’s lawful resident, but who was “very uncooperative.” Upon receiving Gates’ Harvard ID, Crowley wrote he radioed in to request “the presence of the Harvard University Police.”

However, if we’re going to have a make-work program, we should try to get something useful out of it. Though the F-22 stealth fighter...
