One big problem with discussing all this tends to be: In principle, it's possible to separate principles from practicalities. In practice, it...

My grandfather was convinced that various celebrities had gotten hugely rich buying property in or near Palm Springs.

Yeah, that was a big one. My parents certainly seemed to believe it.

Agreed. But the FOIA request might need rewriting (just speculating here).

With all the real scandals that are surfacing -- such as the IRS, the AP subpoena, the FBI's wiretap on Tamerlan Tsaernev, and so on -- it's a really...
