Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

I've always considered whiskey one of man's strangest ideas:

Who said, "Hey, I bet letting grains rot until they turn into a fluid will make a pretty darn good drink."

How millions of enlightened, open-minded, progressively wise citizens have morphed into a mob of bitter, racist, homo/islamaphobic, mindless rubes in less than 24 months.

1.D.B. Cooper is in Thailand drinking Pina Coladas and banging tourists.
2. Who cares? Glad he is no longer with us though.
3. A. He did attend an Ivy League schoold did he not.
4. The CIA? No that would probably be racist or Islamophobic.
5. Because they figured they could convince everyone that health care would be "free."
7. About one week after inauguration.

No offense of course. I forgot you were a Cornel prof.

Heh...I'm with you. A few weeks back when the Koran burning news was all the rage EVERY SINGLE Democrat/lefty I personally talked to (or heard from) was parroting the default assumption that an offended Muslim was violently dangerous.

And none saw the bigotry in that assumption.

Actually the D.B. Cooper case was solved on an episode of "Numb3rs" this past season. ;-)

Related question, did Obama even take Con Law at Harvard? He hasn't released his transcripts (not that that would stop the media if a republican hopeful refused to release his educational records-they would be on the front page of the NY Slimes before you could say Jackie Robinson)so we don't know any of the courses he took let alone his grades. (It's also possible that Harvard has pass/fail rather than letter grades, so even releasing the grades might not matter).
