I'm impressed they decided the president should have almost as much immunity as any garden variety assistant district attorney and only slightly more than every single cop.

The only thing that surprises me about prison medicine these days is that they're not hiring veterinarians--and only probably because they're more expensive. Gift link.

I spent a summer in Beijing a couple of years after Tiananmen. Most of the people I interacted with seemed fairly happy. Also, they held a mass execution in a soccer stadium and who the hell knows if they were guilty or just pissed off the wrong people.
