One of the laws of the Internet is that online polls -- the kind that let anyone vote by clicking a "submit" button -- are completely unscientific, meaningless, and easy to spam. They're intended to be fun, and nothing more.…

Well, here's our wrap-up thread for tonight's debate. I'm sure Donald Trump's fans think he did tremendously well! but by any objective measure he was soundly thrashed by Hillary Clinton tonight.…

YouTube Here's a second thread to comment on this debate, because the first one is filling up rapidly.

After saying earlier today that he was not sorry for his tweet saying motorists should run over protesters, blogger/law professor Glenn Reynolds is now apologizing for it, sort of. It's one of those "I'm sorry you misunderstood me" non-apology apologies.…
