  • 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 ...

  • Professional Journalism

    I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

  • 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 ...

    On June 13th, 2007, I received a death threat from someone claiming to be a member of the US Intelligence community. What was my ''crime''? I blew the whistle on the election fraud of 2004.

  • Re: False Dichotomies

There are people who disagree not only with the Jena protests but also with the entire idea that structural racism exists. So ...

  • Re: If you want intellectual neatness...

    I don't think the writer is construing some perfect vision of what a movement should be. It's just that this particular case is overburdened with questionable elements that make it difficult to, ahem, ''sloganize''. If it took 30 posters to stretch out the exact penalties that the situation warranted for both the white and black students, then ...

  • Re: LOUISIANA IN REAL LIFE FOR THOSE WHO DONT LIVE HERE

    No one denies your specific experience, but at the same time I would question your assertion an exchange of injustices, which might be a coded version of ''an eye for an eye'', is actually conducive to the kind of institutional change we all hope for from events like this. Think about it this way: In the amount of time people from different sides ...
