CNN main link headline on the Larry Summers vote: "Harvard president fails confidence test." Are white males intrinsically less likely to pass this sort of test when administered by a bunch of politically correct academics? Are they less likely to take these sorts of tests because of the hostile test-taking environment? These are difficult questions. […]

Over the past few weeks, there's been example after example of liberal pundits/commentators offering their insights on the psyche of conservatives -- specifically Christian conservatives.

This first got notice in the blogosphere last week, but Sunday's Detroit News provides a little more information than previous reports. The United Auto Workers says Marine reservists should show a little more semper fi if they want to use the union's parking lot. The Marine Corps motto means "always faithful," but the union says […]

When I was staying home from work sick earlier this week (I'm still a little under the weather, but I'm doing better. Thanks for asking.), I took the opportunity to flip over to CBS in time to watch Dan Rather's send off. After watching it, I'm confident that I definitely have "courage." Rather's closing statement […]

I've got a couple of Social Security related items for today. First, Paul Krugman has once again opined on Social Security, but we've still not been graced with a "Krugman Plan." [The graphic has been updated.] In today's column, Krugman does offer a hint at his preferred solution -- a combination of a rise in […]

Texas Sen. John Cornyn has a letter to the editor in today's New York Times that exposes that the editorial page's opposition to changing the filibuster rule all depends on who is trying to do it. To the Editor: "The Senate on the Brink" (editorial, March 6) supports the "historic role of the filibuster," which […]
