One of my favorites of all time is listed by Jane as the source thinking for her law. It’s Lileks, and I suppose the bolded part is the law:
Each side is guilty of this - in the 90s a substantial contingent of the right was convinced that Gov. Bill Clinton ran coke out of Mena. It’s almost as if you have two options:
1. I disagree with my opponent’s position on taxation, and therefore I shall oppose it.
2. I disagree with my opponent’s position on taxation, and therefore I believe he has sex with goats. |

Based on behavior of our elected representatives, I’ve often thought I should put forth a law that states: "For each year an elected official holds a public office, his IQ decreases by a minimum of two points."
That would certainly explain why they act more and more stupidly the longer they are in office. It also explains why we have such awful candidates for president. When they’ve been in the system long enough to get taken seriously as presidential candidates, their intelligence has already been seriously eroded.
Of course, I don’t have a blog to put it on. Someday, maybe, when I have more time... |

Razib’s Rule: "any sufficiently potent quasi-intellectual sophistry concocted on the Left is eventually appropriated by the Right." (See here for another good example of it in action.) |

Alger’s Law of Leftism
"A leftist idea can be recognized by three earmarks. It will be:
1)Founded in ignorance,

I forget where I read it, but one blogger stated that, as a general rule, all readers who leave comments to posts over a year old are insane. He has proven almost 100% correct. |

I’ve contributed two thus far:
1. Crank’s Law:[E]very time a left-wing blogger or commenter cries "chickenhawk" or complains about war supporters not fighting the war, the left-winger has lost the argument. 2. Crank’s First Rule of Government Financial Forecasts: [Government financial forecasts] are always, always, wrong. |

Eiland’s Theory Of Compensatory Misery"As human society gradually solves the problems of basic survival and reduces the amount of other miseries rooted in the reality of the human condition, the fringe elements of that society feel an increasingly strong compulsion to become obsessively angry about ever more trivial causes to recapture the sense that life is a painful struggle." This one statement has opened my eyes like nothing else. |

Chiefly Musing’s Musing: The amount of attention received by a blog post is inversely proportional the importance attached to it by its author. Not published anywhere, and probably already said by someone else since it’s a commonly expressed anguish (why the heck did that get ’lanched when this post I’m proud of didn’t even get a comment?!?); but since I didn’t see anyone sum it up into something pithy, I’m taking credit for it. |

Actually Nathan, Aaron Haspel can claim prior art: "The briefer and less substantive the post, the greater the number of comments. (Lemma" The briefer and less substantive the post, the likelier a link from Instapundit. Not that I would know.)"
There are a couple of other good ones in there too. |

There’s no joke like an old joke...I’m grateful for the fortuitous set-up.
Don’t ask why I thought of this one:
The first year of blogging is like sex in the first year of marriage: an incredible frequency that you never can quite match in later years.

Dreck’s law:
"The comment section of any post criticizing destructive political rhetoric ultimately provides more vivid examples thereof."
Not as pithy as some of those above, but true without exception.
