Oh, give up,
Oh, give up for my blogwatch…

Club for Growth: I went to these bars in college. Above the law since 1997! (Or hey, how much does the drinking age destroy social cohesion?)

Daniel Mitsui: Ave/Eva.

Hit & Run: Like Solidarnosc in reverse.

Journalista: How! I’m Dani Moonstar. (Scroll like Minnehaha.)

Ninomania has a lot of interesting comments on today’s Supreme Court decisions, esp. on the shift from parental rights to students’ rights, and the “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” case. “A few years ago the Court declined to recognize an across-the-board ‘drug exception’ to the Fourth Amendment ‘knock and announce’ requirement. But in myriad other ways, the war on drugs has greatly changed our law, and not necessarily for the better.” Y’all might find this an unexpected perspective from a self-confessed fan of Nino Scalia.

Scrutinies: Homework, homeschooling, and opportunity costs.

The Rat: Is it smart to tell your smart child she’s smart? Yeah, no. (This of course plays into my deep horror of valuing your child–or anyone else–for her abilities and attributes, rather than just for the fact that she’s alive.)
