Using their own tools against them

Matt Evans over at The Buck Stops Here has been digging around in the People For the American Way's Web site and came across this link. What it allows you to do is send a fax to certain senators -- at PFAW's expense. The text is a form letter urging a filibuster of Republican judicial […]

Advice for Democrats

Not that they'll listen to me, but if they want to outfox Bush on tax cuts, this would be a good plan of attack.

Sometimes you just want to slap them

The New York Times editorial page, when it comes to taking positions on judicial nominees, now appears to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ralph Neas and People for the American Way. The Times uses lame and specious arguments to attack Estrada, a Latino American with a brilliant legal resume and an inspiring story, as being […]

The joy of liberal bloggers

Sometimes I miss good, old Jeffrey Hauser. Longtime readers of this blog will remember Hauser as a stalwart apologist/defender of New York Times columnist Paul Krugman who regularly posted his views in the comments link -- usually attached to the appropriate item. (A time or two a particular piece apparently got him in such a […]

Explain the chart

There's been a lot of discussion about the latest Bush tax cut plan and whether it's wise to give so much back to "the rich." But a chart on Page 35 of this week's Time magazine has me confused about the less-talked about Democratic plan. Entitled "For Richer or Poorer," the chart compares the "estimated […]

Ask and ye shall receive

Well, last week when President Bush resubmitted the name of Judge Charles Pickering to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, the cries of racist erupted from the Democrats. Their charge was mainly based on a 1994 cross burning case where Pickering sought a lighter sentence for a convicted cross burner because his cohorts -- including […]

Is there an editor in the house?

Kudos to OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto for this zinger from columnist Molly Ivins, who proves once again that logic is an anathema to the liberal columnist. "The first claim [of those who support tax cuts] is that the rich pay more in taxes in the first place. Well, yeah, they do--they have more money. The richest […]

Sullivan fisks leftist Joan Didion

You can find it here. A sample: When the only educated people you know hold identical views to yours, it's an easy step to assuming that all those other mysterious creatures out there who disagree with you are simply dumb anti-intellectual jingoists. The cocoon blinds Didion in other ways as well. Many times in the […]

Judicial standards and the liberal line

Predictably, today's New York Times comes out with another scathing attack on Judge Charles Pickering. Pickering, who was defeated in the Senate Judiciary Committee in the last Congress on a party-line vote, is from Mississippi, the same state as "segregationist" Sen. Trent Lott. The main charge against Pickering has been his "racial insensitivity" regarding a […]
