...more delightful consequences of the recent election that Democrats-now caricatured as the party of elite secularists-find themselves led in the Senate by a pro-life, pro-gun, pro-war, red-state convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But Reid's ascendance has little to do with ideology; it is a practical matter. The Senate is the only place in Washington where Democrats, though a minority, can force the Administration to make a deal. They can do so because of arcane rules that require a 60-vote majority to stop a filibuster...
...glass or three, zip down the street to one of West Randolph's hip eateries, such as the Blue Point Oyster bar (an upscale diner that claims the city's freshest oysters), Sushi Wabi (if you like artful fish and don't mind tight spaces) or Marché (a latter-day French Surrealist bistro). Want quick takeout with local color? Grab an Italian beef sandwich at Mr. Beef's on Orleans. The hard core order it "wet," with the roll soaked in gravy...
...been called the perfect wife for her devotion to George W. Bush and the Comforter in Chief for her calming demeanor after 9/11. But it would be a mistake to think of Laura Bush as a latter-day Mamie Eisenhower, who once said, "Ike runs the country; I turn the pork chops."

Did Kerry not remember what he had said to Stephanopoulos? No, it was, apparently, yet another Kerry nanonuance: he is in favor of redeployments, just not now. The second question is far more dire: Why is Kerry wasting breath on such periphera? Why isn't he hammering Bush on his conduct of the Iraq war and the larger war against Islamist radicalism, which...
...important that those who wish to dismantle the latter-day apartheid continue to speak candidly about it to the powerful in our country. They must also direct that same candor toward the powerless and move them to action, too. Put another way, leaders should not only speak truth to power, but they should also speak truth to impotence and generate power! To do less would only reshuffle the “separate but equal†deck in our schools...
