NOW THAT'S UNPATRIOTIC: There's been an awful lot of blogospheric sniping recently over the use of the word "unpatriotic" (and for good reason, I think; like racism, it's a terrible charge, and one that should never be used to score cheap political points in a policy debate), but here, perhaps, is an example of unpatriotic behavior that we can all agree on: taking advantage of lax state laws to scam our nation's service men and women on insurance and investments.

According to the article, Republicans and Democrats in Congress are working together on a bipartisan basis to (finally) put a stop to this crap.

Good for them.
