From the Chicago Sun-Times on kids covering John "Flipper" Kerry: Politics 101 As part of a nationwide team covering the presidential race for kid-oriented Scholastic News, 11-year-old Mitchel Hochberg of Northbrook queried John Kerry at an Evanston senior center this week. Hochberg, a fifth-grader, noted that President Bush and Kerry have exchanged unusually aggressive barbs […]
Tech Central Station's James Glassman has an excellent article on Benedict Arnold politicians who attempt to hurt the U.S. economy for short-term political gain. Democrat Presidential hopeful John "Flipper" Kerry, who was forced to co-opt every single one of his opponents' positions because he had none of his own, has been promising to "review" all […]
The Basque separatist group known by the acronym ETA is being blamed for today's train bombings in Spain. Investigators have now reportedly found eight detonators and an audiotape of Koranic teachings in a van near a station on the same rail line where the bombings occurred.

As I mentioned last month, the point of the records request is to prove that partial-birth abortion is never medically […]
Illustrating the amazing gains in productivity in the American economy through increased efficiency, New York Times "columnist" Paul Krugman's latest effort is a milestone.
