How come the search function can't locate this article/thread or the article "The red tape of packing a pistol"? In both cases I had to scroll down my comments to find them.
A very funny column by Jonah Goldberg "Building Up the Right" generated not one comment besides mine. I doubt I will find it when I do a search.
