Terrorists have hit the Brits. From the BBC: “London’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair tells the BBC he knows of “about six explosions”, one on a bus and the others related to Underground stations.

Excerpt Of The Day: The Roe Effect

“Compounding the GOP advantage is what I call the Roe effect. It is a statement of fact, not a moral judgment, to observe that every pregnancy aborted today results in one fewer eligible voter 18 years from now. More than 40 million legal abortions have occurred in the United States since 1973, and these are […]

Satire or Not? You Be the Judge By Patterico

See if you can guess where this passage appeared: Democrats signaled that whoever the nominee is, their three likely lines of attack will be to assert the White House did not consult them sufficiently, then paint the nominee as ideologically extreme and finally assert that the Senate had not received sufficient documents about the candidate.

Don’t Fear The Democrats. Fear The RINOS

A lot of conservatives are gearing up for a public relations battle to support Bush’s nominee (as long as it’s not Gonzales). While that’s all well and good, this isn’t the same sort of fight Republicans had on their hands with Bork or Thomas. Back when Bork was voted down and Thomas had so much […]

 

Quotes Of The Day: O’Connor Doesn’t Deserve To Be Praised

“O’Connor is often praised for having been “unpredictable.” The suggestion is that she was non-ideological, impartial, fair. But the truth is that she was “unpredictable” because she was arbitrary. She was dangerously unwilling to think about whether and when judicial review can be justified in a democracy, and because of that unwillingness to think, her […]

 

Kennedy Slams Unnamed Supreme Court Nominee — Satire By Scott Ott

Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-MA, today criticized President George Bush’s as-yet-unnamed replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as a “brutal, Bible-thumping, right-wing ideologue who hates minorities, women and cocker spaniels.” “He or she is clearly outside the mainstream of American values,” said Sen. Kennedy. “President Bush has again ignored the Senate’s ‘advice and […]

 

It’s Fun To Be Right Or Alternately Savor The Moment

From a column I wrote back on July 20, 2004 called “Why Conservatives Should Vote For Bush:” “Furthermore, you should never, never, never, forget about judges. Because liberalism is so unpopular, the Democrats count on getting activist liberal judges to implement their agenda over the protests of the voters (perfect example: gay marriage in Massachusetts).

People Calls Democrats “Soft On Terrorism” Because They Are “Soft On Terrorism”

One of the most fascinating things about today’s liberals is that it seems that they can almost always tell you exactly what they’re against, but it’s almost impossible to pin them down on what they’re actually for. Examples of this phenomenon abound, especially when you’re talking about liberal politicians. They’re against tax cuts, but they […]
