I understood that Dick Cheney supports you in email.
But I like the fact that the posts on this blog are accentuating the positive accomplishments of the Obama administration, rather than always harping on the negative. "Obama: not as bad as Bush at international diplomacy" goes well alongside LB's earlier post "Obama: follows rule of law in one case."
1: I'm not allowed to speak of the things Dick Cheney does to me in email.

You can't establish a law using one case, but once you grasp a rule (however that happens) you know what it prescribes,* even if nothing in reality conforms to it.

* In most cases, or at least a few important ones.
Not that I really care about prosecuting pissing off Dick Cheney.
