- Lower drunk-driving standard finds new support with federal money at stake. It doesn’t matter much to me, since I generally walk to/from the bar when I go out (as I did last night), but I don’t like the way the feds blackmail states into changing their laws using highway money.
- Yep. These sure are The Worst Jobs in Science. Eww. [WVSR]
- Says here that United States v. Stewart means that homemade automatic weapons can’t be banned by the federal government unless you try to sell ’em. More commentary from Eugene Volokh too. Sadly, for now this just applies to the Ninth Circuit (as I understand things), but I’m imagining there will be people in other parts of the country trying to set precedents… [instapundit]

- Share ‘True Crime,’ do the time–copy a pre-release movie on the internet, and you could spend three years in the pokey. [fark!]
