...stands, the Republican party appears philosophically impotent, hoping that a sufficient number of voters is trained to cheer for the same old issues like opposition to taxes and gay rights. Clinging to them so stubbornly has led the GOP to shoot itself in the foot Cheney-style on a number of occasions, doing a major disservice not only to its own voters, but to the country as a whole. But rather than bolster its image with fresh policy proposals, the party’s current strategy seems to be to take a time-out and keep its fingers crossed...

...Saudi citizen, I strongly disagree with Liz Cheney that Deputy Minister for Women's Education Norah al-Faiz will face obstacles because she "can't, for example, work face to face with male counterparts without violating the kingdom's strict religious code." I believe in the female right of privacy. Most Saudi women feel that way as well. Some Westerners mistakenly think that is discrimination.

...grab bag: the sea of rapturous pink-faced men in suits at last year's Republican Convention, Sarah Palin speaking of her gay friend's "choice," the endless seven minutes of Bush sitting still during the onset of 9/11, pretty much any comment from Dick Cheney. When Obama was elected, many wept from a mixture of deep relief and optimism--only to be mocked afterward by Republican pundits, who would begrudge Obama anything. When will they get it?

...perpetually optimistic HGTV announce so frankly that homeowners are up a creek is like watching Dick Cheney go on Meet the Press to declare that waterboarding is torture. But HGTV is hardly the only network trying to figure out how the recession and a political shift have changed America. The underlying question at the just completed network "upfronts," or fall-schedule presentations to advertisers, was, If we are truly becoming a different society--more abstemious, more modest in our ambitions, more community-focused, or just poorer--what will this new society blow its time watching on the tube...
