Posted on behalf of Pinch: “Remembering Lex, Northern Virginia/DC, 6 March, 2013 at Sines, Pentagon City. 1700…see you there!”
Others around the country will be hosting similar gatherings, so feel free to make mention of them in this post. We Admins will be sure to keep everyone updated as we draw closer to March 6th. As for posting at NepLex, I think the Kat has the keys to the Mothership and I’ll ask if she will create a post there.

We’d go places that Flanker and I.
Et tu, Brute?

When I was a junior officer, and one or another policy that we’d perceived as idiotic came down the pipe, we used to dream of some theoretical flag officer that would throw his stars on the table in protest. The Stan Arthur case comes to mind, a damned fine warfighter tossed overboard for political [...]

Not all that:
It’s not often that one person plays key roles in two — count ‘em, two — trillion-dollar disasters. Welcome, my friends, to the world of well-connected Democrat Jamie Gorelick.
It’s no mean feat to spring from toadstool to toadstool in quite the way Gorelick has done. She came to our attention [...]
