...Kasparov asked us to overlook Bobby Fischer's flaws (like his anti-Semitism, which Kasparov didn't mention), and Tyrangiel wants us to keep buying Winehouse's albums - perhaps so that she can keep herself supplied with drugs? There should be a group called Enablers Anonymous for Kasparov and Tyrangiel to join. I may not help madmen by refusing to patronize them, but at least I don't have to feel like a patsy.

...particularly on health care. For Obama, wonky proposals obviously aren't the core of his appeal--although he has been more explicit than Clinton about raising taxes on the rich.

...Great Britain under the provisions of the Act of Union. The Parliament of Scotland consented to the union in large part due to the guarantee of Protestant leadership provided for by the Act of Settlement. While neither Salmond nor the vast majority of present day Scots still harbor the anti-Catholic sentiments, an amendment to the Act of Settlement would give Salmond and his allies credence in the debate over Scottish Independence...
