...they don't use the word Republican in ads; they think voters are tired of partisan attacks. And that's why they initially asked Democratic groups not to air any independent ads on Obama's behalf; they wanted to control the brand themselves. But the Service Employees International Union recently aired an anti-McCain ad, and other groups are poised to follow suit.

Leftist intellectuals and Stalin apologists simply refused to believe it. Solzhenitsyn’s real accomplishment was “to render such illusion about the Soviet Union impossible, even for its most die-hard defenders: he made illusion not merely stupid but wicked.”But there was a sinister side to Solzhenitsyn’s character which has largely been neglected in the orgiastic aftermath of his death.
