I was having a conversation with a co-worker the other day about malpractice reform, and it made me finally put together all my thoughts on the subject into a cogent argument. So I thought I’d share. A while back, I was visited out in Seattle by a good buddy from college who works as an [...]

From today’s L.A. Times: Four years ago, Bush ran even among voters with a college education. But recent polls show him trailing with that group, largely because he has lost support among college-educated men, traditionally a Republican constituency. Bush may offset those gains by expanding his support among married women without a college education, the [...]

Hey all, No show Monday. Instead, join us at the CHAC Tuesday night for an all-night election bash. Come down and watch the results with Bruno & the Prof! PS: I see that the UN has condemned the U.S. embargo on Cuba once again. Every country rejected the embargo except Israel, The Marshall Islands and [...]

1,000 American soldiers is certainly something to make you stop and think. Up to 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians is quite sobering, too. “To Be Provided” my ass. Look, I’m not going to make like Moore and pretend that Baghdad was all children playing and flying kites before the US Invasion. I can’t even imagine how [...]

Forgive me, I’m a little slow to this thing, but the L.A. Times electoral map is a hoot. It also shows you how many nightmare permutations there are. I started with the Bush/Gore breakdown, and then shifted Wisconsin and New Mexico into Bush’s column and New Hampshire and Ohio into Kerry’s. What happened? Dead tied: [...]

Andrew Sullivan reminds me that he’s the one who used the phrase last week: And, yes, “criminal negligence” is not hyperbole. In terrorist-ridden Iraq, the possibility of serious weaponry falling into the hands of the enemy and being deployed against American troops and conceivably American citizens is unforgivable. The whole point of the invasion was [...]

Oh, wait… we don’t have one of those. Lots of folks have quoted at length from this Knight Ridder article on Iraq, but that’s no reason why we shouldn’t join the chorus, now is it? The first three grafs say it all: WASHINGTON – In March 2003, days before the start of the U.S.-led invasion [...]

David Brooks continues today with his overarching thesis on America, which says, more or less, that America is not divided by issues, but rather by the fact that one half of the country sees a completely different reality from the other. Now we have what seems to be independent confirmation of this belief, courtesy of [...]

I’ve been digging on OxBlog lately, and not just because Chafetz is supporting Kerry finally. I’ve been trying to read people with whom I disagree. Makes for a better debate, right? Still, how could you not find this post from April of 2003 funny and sad in its hubris? “I TOLD YOU SO” WATCH: The [...]

Last night, John Kerry outed Dick Cheney’s daughter. Now, it’s no secret that she’s gay. But it’s also no secret that Cheney, like Newt Gingrinch and the Reagans, have tried to shield their homosexual offspring from the slings and arrows of outrageous Republicans, aka, their political base. Clearly, homosexuality is a challenging thing for a [...]
