"ALL CHECKS, NO BALANCES"

My favorite passage from Rosa Brooks' latest column:

Just last year, the Supreme Court tried to get him up to speed: "We have long since made clear that a state of war is not a blank check for the president." But that's the Bush administration for you: all checks, no balances.

It works on so many levels, doesn't it? What a great campaign slogan that would make, even better than "all hat, no cattle."
