My chip time was 2 hours 19 minutes 2 seconds. My aspirational goal was under 2:20, but I thought a more realistic goal was 2:24.

When I took Constitutional Law in law school in the 2006-2007 school year, Supreme Court Second Amendment jurisprudence was sparse, and what was there was a mess.  There were two very basic questions that were left outstanding: 1) Does the Second Amendment ... http://blog.bullmoosestrikesback.com/?p=1983 McChrystal should be sacked simply because if his judgment is so bad that he lets a skeezy reporter writing something for Rolling Stone - Rolling Stone! - get him on record badmouthing his superiors, he obviously doesn't have the judgment required to win the fight in Afghanistan.
