I don’t generally have a problem with conservatives. It’s when they start talking about public policy that I have a problem. Like this example: Obama laughs off the charge of socialist behavior — and to be fair, socialism isn’t the precise term to affix to his ideas. It’s more like Robin Hood economics. On a [...]
If for no other reason that for using a great word, this caught my eye: “We were gobsmacked to discover that though the law was changed hundreds of years ago and society had moved on, the victims were never officially pardoned.” It could be humorous – until you realize that people were actually tortured and [...]

Democrats are making a late play for Arizona as new polls show home-state Senator John McCain with a shrinking single-digit edge over Barack Obama. [...]
I’m not saying that it was wrong to arrest these idiots. I’m just wondering why it’s illegal to hoist an effigy of Barack Obama by a noose, but not Sarah Palin. Okay – it isn’t much of a mystery: Fischer and Bush were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, burglary and theft by unlawful taking, [...]
for some conspiracy theorist somewhere: Frederick Baron, a wealthy Texas trial lawyer and prominent Democratic fundraiser linked to the John Edwards mistress scandal, died Thursday. He was 61.
