Put It All On Black. Or No Wait, Forget I Said That!. New at Reason: Should you be thrown in the clink if you tell somebody about online gambling? Jacob Sullum doubles down on the DOJ's new definitions of thoughtcrime. [Hit & Run] This story disgusted me so much that I immediately added a link to The Gold Casino to my directory. 7:40:24 PM    comment () Top Papers to Bush: Stay the Course in Iraq. From a story in Editor & Publisher (via Romenesko): Despite the growing upheaval and U.S. casualties in Iraq, a majority of the nation's 20 largest newspapers, in editorials during the past week, have urged the White House to stay the course. Among this group, however, there is wide disagreement on whether to send more troops and whether sticking to the June 30 handover of power to an Iraqi government is a good idea. None of the top 20 (by circulation) urged a quick military withdrawal, although some call for the U.S. to share responsibility with the United Nations or NATO. Whole thing here. [Hit & Run] I'm not terribly surprised. Leftists never really objected to the idea of conquering another country, they only objected to the other faction of the Boot On Your Neck party doing it. 7:29:11 PM    comment ()
