I have gotten myself in hot water over this before, but I still think it an important enough topic to risk more flames. Tim Russert’s death is a tragedy. Anytime that young is taken from his friends and family, that is an undeniable tragedy. And, from all accounts, on a personal level, Russert was apparently [...]

Scalia's Cowardice
Posted in 9/11 Report, General, Legal Issues on June 13, 2008 | 19 Comments »
One of the more striking things about the decision yesterday was just how unhinged, almost Malkin or Limbaugh-like Scalia sounded: Reflecting how the case divided the court not only on legal but, perhaps, emotional lines, Justice Scalia said that the United States was “at war with radical Islamists,” and that the ruling “will almost certainly [...]
A Narrow Victory Foir Justice

By a 5-4 vote, the Constitution has survived another day: The Supreme Court has ruled that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the U.S. Constitution to challenge their detention in civilian courts. The justices, in a 5-4 ruling Thursday, handed the Bush administration its third setback at the high court since [...]

Confused why liberals don’t think that Democrats should go on Fox? This might help explain it.
Former Sec'y of State: Bush Made Humanitarian Intervention Impossible

Madeleine Albright points out yet another disastrous consequence of Bush’s imperialist war of choice: by announcing he would trample the sovereignty of any foreign nation without provocation (he threatened Iran again just yesterday), Bush forced every vulnerable nation into a defensive posture, strengthening their resistance to enforcement of international law and their reluctance to allow [...]
Quote of the Day, 2008-06-11

Via SayUncle, Dunkin’ Donuts has pulled a Rachael Ray TV ad because she had the gall to wear a black-and-white paisley scarf which — if you’re a pants-wettingly-hysterical right wing blogger like Michelle Malkin, and you squint at it just right — could be construed as a keffiyeh, which, of course, makes Rachael Ray (and, [...]
Krugman: Conservatives Doomed Without Racism
Posted in Culture, General, News & Current Events, Politics, Race on June 9, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Oh, I loves me some Paul Krugman: Fervent supporters of Barack Obama like to say that putting him in the White House would transform America.
