    No credit where none is due

    "We shouldn't be grateful when the administration agrees to abide by the law. That is expected and required, not something that occurs when the king deigns that it should."

    This reminded me of a Chris Rock bit where he talked about people who want kudos for acting like decent, responsible people.

    "I take care of my kids!" --You're supposed to you dumb MF!

    "I ain't never been to jail!" --What do you want? A cookie!
