  • Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake

    Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

Kelly would have been able to evade trial for 6 and a half years had the victim in this case been white ...

  • Money doesn't buy happiness or love.

    A country founded by people who were persecuted, and we still are biased, bigoted, racists, anti-Semitic, hostile, angry, arrogant and blind to the person next to us and the world, because it was believed we could buy our way out. Since I was a child, all I heard was Americans were the lowest savers in the free world! We still are, and fighting ...

  • Re: The need for detail

    He might have been a better writer to have replaced ''those Nigerian babies'' with ''these babies'' because after all 5% of the babies of European descent lack the gene(s) too. Thanks for reminding us of the context of Saletan’s quote. Of course there is a lot more to it than that. Firstly: It is not 5% of all babies of European descent ...
