TBogg offers some choice questions for the Pervert General of Kansas, while Dr. B and the deservedly Koufax-annoited Mouse Words offer further analysis (the latter with bonus Texas coverage.) Pro-choicers are, of course, often informed by earnest reactionaries that if we continue to remain "extremists" who fail to...

I missed this Wall Street Journal piece by Robert Pollack. Then again, I miss all Wall Street Journal op-eds (well, I really MISS very few of them) because of the WSJ.
Justice Thomas yesterday in Johnson v. CA, the temporary prison segregation case: Indeed, Johnson concedes that it would be perfectly constitutional for California to take account of race "as part of an.
Yglesias finds Anne Applebaum going to the nearly inevitable stage 2 of teleological arguments that attempt to justify systematic inequalities: arguing that whether patterns are innate or socially constructed doesn't matter.

Since some people persist in maintaining the transparent falsehood that Summers was merely "asking questions" and not offering any position, let's go to the transcript: There are three broad hypotheses about.
I've tried leaving a comment on Russell Arben Fox's excellent Zhang Yimou post, but it's not working so I'll just do it here. I admired Hero a great deal more than he did (it's quite high on my soon-to-be-published on LGM 2004 top 10; I've got...
LGM Sitemeeter just hit 50000. That's about 47000 more than we had any right to expect when we started this up nine months ago. Thanks to all our visitors, to.
