Could this be evidence of a brewing revolt among Justice Department career attorneys? One of them who was a key member of the group handling the Philadelphia New Black Panther voter intimidation case from the 2008 election has resigned, citing problems with the official handling of the case. The Examiner’s J.P. Freire has the resignation letter.

Hop on my 2020 Harley? No, not for real, but Autoblog has an artist rendering of what the Hog might look like in a decade. These things are typically speculative and often turn out to bear little or no resemblance to the real thing. In this case, I’m pretty confident that come 2010, I will still prefer my classic Kawasaki Concours.

From the Dangers of the New Media Department: Seems that Rep. Mark Souder is resigning because of a dalliance with a woman-not-his-wife. And woman-not-his-wife is all over the Internet, as The Examiner’s Charlie Spiering points out.

EPA’s Agit-Prop division for big government may regret it ever invited entries. Radley Balko kindly posted Reason Foundation’s entries. And the Heritage Foundation has one, too. Who’s next? Cato? Heartland Institute? AEI?

Why does Obama State Department appointee Michael Posner think he should apologize to the Chinese because Arizona wants to control its borders? Why is anybody surprised? As DiscoverTheNetworks.org documents, people in the Obama crowd have been spelling it A-M-E-R-I-K-A since the 1960s.

Truth Laid Bear’s eighth blogiversary? Yes, indeed and Rob Neppell, the bear who chose not to hibernate, is all smiles. Congrats!

If they can hack your laptop, can they also hack your car’s ECM? The Auto Prophet says not … yet.

It’s not often that I recommend a book written by a politician because they usually aren’t, they’re ghosted. But former Sen. Fred Thompson’s “Teaching the pig to dance,” which hits the bookstores Tuesday, actually comes from his pen. It’s about his early life growing up rural in Tennessee, and it’s hilarious in the dry, self-deprecating way that is peculiarly Southern and instantly recognizable to anybody who grew up below the Mason-Dixon line.  The chapter “Rebel without a clue” is priceless, as is the discussion in the next chapter of the football coach surreptitiously called Stumpy.

Public Option is alive and quite well at OPM,  the government’s personnel management agency.
