Boosting comments is dumb. Some people believe in the wisdom of crowds, which is their right. They love the whole crowdsourcing crap.

He wants to get rid of the IRS, and he issues "letters of marquee and reprisal", some 18th century constitutional provision to go after Bin Laden with mercenaries---mercs!!!
