Vote Swingers - Suddenly Politics Is Hot Again. Sometimes, Really Hot. [via Volokhs]
If this is where a lot of Kerry's poll numbers are coming from, this could be very good for the Bush family - it would likely result in the sort of flame-out that Howard Dean had in the Iowa caucuses. But whatever it's implications - and whatever your thoughts of the views expressed - it's quite an interesting article.

Courting Confusion
A good look at one of the threats facing the court system: It's not liberal versus conservative, nor is it originalist versus living documentism. It's upholding one point while making a ruling contradictory of said point. A good read.

Judge marries young couple as 'reward' for completing sentence
In Houston, a judge made a deal with a drug user that if he went through rehab, the judge would marry him and his girlfriend without cost. It's a sweet story.

Analysis: Clinton eyes U.N. post
My thoughts are that an American president will never be in charge of the UN due to fear of American hegemony, but the article's analysis suggests that his real roadblocks are in America. The "critics" criticisms of the UN are somewhat mischaracterized: it's not that the UN is impotent, it's that it's populated in large part by tyrants.

Why I'm voting for Bush
Conservative Frisco columnist Debra Saunders explains her support for the President.

The Daily Dodge
A critical look at Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show." A lot of people both left and right applauded his behavior on CNN's Crossfire, but I found it analogous to being invited to a dinner party and going just to cause a scene criticizing everyone for being such yuppies. Whatever points he made (and I don't like "Crossfire" and agree with most of them), I found it to be more rude than funny or daring.

Book of Mormon to Come Out in Comic Book Form [via Fark]
Since the Movie is apparently a bust, maybe this will be better. Not being particularly familiar with the material, I don't know whether the story is better suited for low-budget film or comic books, but I suspect the latter. I'd think about picking it up, but Idaho should be longsince in the rear view mirror before it runs to completion and my incentive will decline.


Queen fail to convince court they are British
That would be Queen the band, not the one with the crown. I had to do a double-take with the title, though. Even so, pretty funny stuff. Apparently, according to the German courts, once you become an international band, you forfeit EU citizenship.
