Karl Meyer and Shareen Blair Brysac suggests exactly that in the Washington Post: Amid the blizzard of résumés blanketing Washington as the Obama era dawns, there is a superbly qualified candidate for full employment whose name has been overlooked. We refer, of course, to William Jefferson Clinton, America’s 42nd chief executive and commander in chief.…

The LA Times reports: In a little-noticed regulation change in March, the military’s definition of combat-related disabilities was narrowed, costing some injured veterans thousands of dollars in lost benefits — and triggering outrage from veterans’ advocacy groups. The Pentagon said the change was consistent with Congress’ intent when it passed a “wounded warrior” law in…

You may have heard recently about a megachurch pastor in Texas declaring Seven Days of Sex and telling the married couples in his 20,000 member church to have sex every night for a week. The New York Times reports: Mr. Young, an author, a television host and the pastor of the evangelical Fellowship Church, issued…

Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York has submitted a resolution urging President Bush not to issue any preemptive pardons at the end of his administration. It isn’t binding law, it’s just a “sense of the House” resolution, but it would bring some public pressure to bear on the subject. There has been much speculation that…

Okay, that’s not true. We knew him quite well, or at least the obnoxious persona he projected online. Alas, he has resigned as moderator at Uncommon Descent.
