Paperwight and Mark Kleiman are, of course, correct: the President's bizarre invocation of Dred Scott is about abortion. Lest you think this is a reach, let's turn it over to Nino, in his dissent in Stenberg v. Carhart (the case that struck down Nebraska's D&E abortion statute for not having...
I'm not going to try to tell you that Jacques Derrida wasn't an "abstruse theorist." The appropriateness of this adjective would be a perfectly appropriate subject of debate, and perhaps.
John Howard has won re-election! This means that Australia's contingent will remain to fight for freedom, order, and the Anglo-Saxon way in Iraq! On bended knee, I thank God for the.
The best line of debate coverage, I must concede, is from Sully: Bush promised at one point that he'd be more "facile" in future. That's going to be a hard promise to keep. One can't listen to Bush without remembering any number of fine comedic moments: Lisa:...

Even former Bush sycophants are deserting--Andrew Sullivan, Howard Fineman, Mickey Kaus. But I was shocked to see that the paper of choice for the complacent mid-right, The Seattle Times, had endorsed Kerry:.
My home town, where I lived from birth through my 18th birthday, is Port Angeles, Washington. It's certainly in a beautiful part of the country, and all in all it.
Against my better judgment, I used Kernell and Jacobsohn's The Logic of American Politics for my course on American political history. I wasn't crazy about it in my perusal, but it's recommended by scholars I respect who teach a similar type of course, so I thought I'd...
Most people who closely follow security and intelligence issues have heard of "Team B", a group of conservatives and soon-to-be neoconservatives who argued that the CIA had vastly underestimated the.
I don't have much to add to Rob's able attack on the laughable attempts of Cheney to spin the Duelfer report. I would like to emphasize that utter worthlessness of.
