...Already, without having seen the film, anti-Moore websites have collected claims that many Cuban hospitals, unlike the one shown in Sicko, are dilapidated and crawling with cockroaches. Uh-huh. That means they're almost as bad as Walter Reed's Building 18, to which Iraq-vet outpatients were sent. Moore doesn't bother to address this point, which helped galvanize public opposition to the war. (Was it too late for inclusion in the film, or too easy a target?) Nor, when he asserts that "18,000 of them [Americans] will die each year simply because they didn't have...
Clayton says his upbringing was instrumental in shaping his personal religious views and conflicts. He explains that he was raised by a father who was “as anti-religious as you can imagine” and a mother who “hated religion with a passion,” making him “the most natural atheist in the world...
...informing anyone else about them. When Myers learned several weeks ago that CBS was about to air the pictures, he persuaded the network to delay the broadcast for two weeks. An earlier telecast might jeopardize the safety of Americans held hostage by Iraqi insurgents, he said, and further inflame anti-U.S. tensions in the country.

And U.S. employers - the same business lobby that rabid anti-immigration conservatives otherwise coddle - are sure to go almost any length, as they've always done, to skirt the new rules for verifying workers' legal status. Too much of our economy today depends on cheap fruit-picking, dishwashing and room-cleaning...
...right-wing populists, Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter, seem obscure and insubstantial, a classic problem for House members running for President; neither is as compelling as Pat Buchanan, who has played this role in the past. I've been surprised by how ineffective Tancredo has been in making his anti-immigrant pitch, which should have some resonance in the Republican Party. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee seems to be winning the battle of the religious conservatives against Kansas Senator Sam Brownback. Huckabee is colorful and funny. In the second debate, he drew whoops from the audience when he said...
