Gibbins said the hospital does not plan to cut back on funding for HMS students. He said Beth Israel had not wavered on support for students even when its financial situation was worse...
...constant and often eloquent calls to "count all the votes." He must hope we will remember those for their principle rather than their application, because neither was a request his lawyers ever bothered to make before a court. (By Monday's oral arguments, the mantra and its disconnect had even become a joke to Justice Souter. And to Boies...
...what's wrong with a Republican-dominated state legislature ending a contest that the courts had five weeks to settle and couldn't? These people were elected by Floridians; if Floridians don't like what their representatives did, they can fire them. (Heck, they've even got term limits down there.)

At least we don't have to wring our hands about how they've become politicized...

So there's a danger in Putin's strategy that when all of these countries open up and overthrow their dictators, they're all going to turn back to the West. What will Putin do then...
