Buck up. A Democratically held seat permits your rage to burn without restriction.
I don't understand how the RNC can campaign for this turncoat.

But I will say this much - at least our party treats its outliers with a bit of decorum.

Unlike the Dems and their vitriolic smears of Joe Lieberman.

Could you consider an edit to "I wish I were mahogany"? In the sig line.

The FT

No comics

No Anne Landers

No sports page

What kind of paper is that anyway?

Arrow Pre-post Path to 911 Redux

So, I look forward to ABC's mini-series, as well as to seeing the quality of the network's fact-checkers. If they do their job well, some of the September 11 Commission's whitewash may start to be peeled away. If they fail, however, the reality that Bill, Dick and Sandy helped to push Americans out of the windows of the World Trade Center on that September morning will be buried in miles of fantasy-filled celluloid.

Blood on their hands indeed. Hank, do you still have that pic? I'd like to re-examine for Clinton's fingerprints......


eta: never forget, never forgive......

The most important vote this guy makes is when he votes for Majority leader. The fact that we even have someone from this state that will vote for a Republican is a miracle. The choice is a liberal that votes for a Dem majority leader or a liberal that votes for a Republican majority leader. There is no choice if you understand politics.

If he loses this primary and the Repubs loses the Senate by one vote, we can thank the rocket scientists who knocked him out.

There is a sports page, though its usefulness to me is limited. No Ann Landers, but on Saturdays I can read Tim Harford's column -- he's sort of the Ann Landers of economists. I miss the comics, 't'is true. But I appreciate getting a perspective other than that of the major US media.

I remember when I was little, my parents got the local paper M-F or M-Sat, but only the NYT on Sundays. I was so mad at them about that -- no comics, on the best comics day of the week.

Chafee voted against Justice Alito? You have faith he'll vote for the right Majority leader? Ha!
