Yes, Your Humble Blogger is keyed up for this rhetoric-fest my boys are having in Boston. I will be listening to more of it than a sane person would, and hope to be making some notes for this Tohu Bohu….
YHB just totted it up, and I’m ten books behind. You see, I didn’t stop reading when I was away; in fact I read slightly more than I do whilst at home (what with airplane rides and all). In addition,…
Your Humble Blogger isn’t a big fan of the Law of Unintended Consequences; most well-written legislation has minor unintended consequences, and some of those positive. Still, ill-written legislation (much less ill-advised legislation) does have consequences, and it was entirely predictable…
