re: work and holiday Australia visas (for the under 30 year olds) Start here: http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/49awhp.htm To get a sense of the area and what’s going on dig thru the local paper: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/ and http://www.wjobs.com.au/ Then look thru the job openings at BHP, Rio Tinto, etc. You’ll find many of them use either the Taleo service or similar (for

Orin Kerr of Volokh Conspiracy fame asks bloggers that support the GWOT three questions about deposing Hussein and the Baathists in Iraq. My top line: Civilization fights with the humanity it can afford. To date, the United States has made a significant sacrifice in both lives and treasure to excise a part of the terrorist cancer and its supporting nodes with a minimum of collateral damage. If

Those that have seen my bookshelves know I collect Posner - both for my education and as a goad.. he writes (and writes and writes), and he writes well. And the judgments he hands down have been works of art. I was especially impressed by his work on the SmithKline v. Apotex case (No. 98C3952, docketed 03/03/2003, sorry, I can't find a web copy), and the Asahi decision. In this NYT article (a

Late evening on the west coast, after Mr. Miller's Thursday keynote, a coworker emailed asking if this would damage the 'pubs. I wrote back saying that I expected it would play poorly with the elites (including some of the gentler 'pubs) and the MSM. But the voters would eat it up, both Miller's talk at the convention and the later confrontation with Mathews, because Jacksonianism electrifies the

There has been a lot of discussion about the Russian response to Beslan. Wretchard observes we in the U.S. assume everyone else has our ability to wage a war with few unintended casualties. But this is not generally the case, and is certainly not the case in Russia.Civilization fights with the humanity it can afford. Thank goodness we are rich. But Russia is poor. And nuclear weapons are cheap. I

I suspect Mr. Kerry started "embellishing" back in boarding school as an adolescent compensating for a lack of parental attention. Most children grow out of it. Those that don't leave lots of signals (like cursing someone who'd take a bullet for them.) And if they are very clever people, it can take a long time before they trip over their own fibs and are exposed for what they are. Mr. Clinton

More than irritation and angst, I've been struck by the anger, if not rage, in both individual democratic loyalists and their partners in the press. I suspect some fraction of the anger is amplified by a dawning realization that they're being outplayed by an opponent who not only is thinking more moves ahead, but knows their own game better than they do. i.e. they see themselves drawn by their

Some on the net are of the opinion the President has neither the authority, the resources, nor the support of the citizens to press the GWOT in other theaters. I disagree. Resolution in response to 9-11: ..."That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the

IMO, we need to: (1) Admit to ourselves that commerce and travel have largely eliminated the utility of a single country's borders, and limited government means commerce alone (globalization) will incite the frustrated (note that if just the U.S. border was enforced, it would be such a large and unequal tax on U.S. trade that our own quality-of-life would certainly fall behind all other countries

It's curious how the left will put their faith in documents and not the spoken word (especially sworn words, to say nothing of how far out of their way they will go to avoid being sworn :-). The records fiasco highlights how CBS (and the MSM) choose to ignore and deride the SwiftVets as tabloid (because they have little proof other than their own memories and reputation as honorable men, both of
