Forty-three Democrats in the Senate and that pesky former-Republican/turncoat have put their names to a letter demanding that President George W. Bush stop picking on Harry Reid. "This is a new Democratic Party," Sen. Charles E. Schumer […]

Wednesday's New York Times: 13 total letters. 6 anti-intelligent design. 1 pro-intelligent design. 1 neutral. 4 anti-Bush (out of 4 on the president's budget). 1 anti-American. I'm just not sure how to classify the intelligent design letters when it comes to conservative/liberal labels. I tend to lean toward saying that anti-intelligent design letters are anti-religious […]
