The laptop computer of Naeem Noor Khan, a captured al Qaeda leader, contained plans for a coordinated series of [...]
This is disgusting. the Southern Strategy was wrong Appealing to voters based on racist fears is wrong The GOP is about forty years too late in apologizing, but the apology is the right thing to do. Sucking up to racists for votes is wrong. But Limbaugh cannot seem to see that: Know what he’s going [...]

I’m off for the next week and a half to the socialist hell known as “Canada” (“Where even poor people get to go to the doctor.”) The anti-freedom laws up there are so oppressive, I can’t even take my handgun! And while there, I’ll have to pay even higher sales taxes than I do in [...]

Ted at Crooked Timber highlights the new defense of Rove: So why should Rove get a medal? Let’s just assume that spy Valerie Plame knew her husband’s attitude toward the war in Iraq. She was married to him. Then sending him off to Niger could be regarded as an attempt to influence national policy. Where [...]

Republican jerk Rick Santorum is still on his latest rampage, accusing “liberals” in Boston of driving pedophile Catholic priests to molest children. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, refused yesterday to back off on his earlier statements connecting Boston’s ”liberalism” with the Roman Catholic Church pedophile scandal, saying that the [...]
The Subtle Bigotry of Low Expectations

Betsy Newmark has been setting the low-tide mark of conservative thinking – and garnering honors for it – for some time. Today is no exception.
This is the chat with Iraq experts on the future of the war. It is both depressing and interesting. Here is a new PAC dedicated to getting restrictions on stem cell research removed. Help out if you can — saving lives is important. And here are people trying to get Exxon — perhaps, with regard [...]
