...more conservative pick? For Bush's conservative base, there is only one way to go. The court has long remained the branch that has thwarted conservatives' key goals, especially an abortion ban. Recent 5-4 decisions affirming the right of a locality to seize private property or forbidding the display of the Ten Commandments on government property--even if another ruling on the same day allowed such displays in a different context--only made it plainer to them, and to liberals too, how crucial the court remains. Says Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, an influential group of social...
...Robbins, as a daft homeowner--could you please stop hyperacting? This is a monster movie, not a Bergman film. The monsters are pretty cool: hood-headed, dog-faced critters that suggest the Alien beast mixed with one of the nastier Gremlins.

The concern doesn’t pay off, because those first thoughts will likely reverse themselves days, months, or years down the road...
...Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1999 for exhibiting a painting entitled “The Holy Virgin Mary” that used elephant dung and pornographic images as compositional elements. Of course, almost everyone agrees that if the museum were a private entity it would have the right to display whatever it wanted. But Giuliani argued that the city could cut off public funding to the museum in response to offensive exhibits. “The city should not have to pay for sick stuff,” he told reporters at the time...
