Smart Girl

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s quest for the Democratic nomination appears doomed, and I can’t say she didn’t deserve it after voting for the Iran war resolution (an act that proves she didn’t learn anything from her vote to invade Iraq). Still, one can’t help but feel sad about the message this sends to women.

A la Carte Pricing

“We’ll get used to it.” That’s what the airlines say. But I still miss not having to check out my own groceries.

Alien Voting

Twenty-five states require voters to show ID at the polls. Now some states want to require a birth certificate to prove you’re a citizen.

Feels Like Eternity

Barack Obama delivers an amazing speech–when he reads it. When he talks off the cuff, however, it’s a painful experience. He…just…seems…so…desperate…not…to…risk…making…a…mistake.

Better Voting Through Quantum Theory

Hillary Clinton’s waning presidential campaign claims that she is in the lead. But you have to use her “New Math,” which doesn’t count delegates. It counts the total primary popular vote, and includes the states of Michigan and Florida, neither of which count. In Michigan, Obama wasn’t even on the ballot.

Torture Memos

The most recently leaked Bush Administration memos rely on a novel argument: something that’s illegal won’t be punished if the person committing the crime says he was trying to stop a terrorist attack. You could be appalled–or you could use this legal nonsense yourself.

New Democrat

Barack Obama is bending over backwards to suck up to his Republican enemies…or just bending over. Why not go all the way?
