...there may be another, more sensitive reason that Edwards is restraining himself. The real case against Kerry is a matter of character, not substance. Edwards hinted at it with his "longest answer" line: not only does Kerry have a flannel-mouthed inability to utter a simple sentence, but his orotundities also serve to reinforce the notion that the Senator from Massachusetts is a patrician stiff, too smug to speak in a manner decipherable by ordinary Americans. In fairness, John Kerry has been as sick as a dog these past few weeks and duller than he might ordinarily be--but there...
Deaniacs will utter a collective “bummer, dude” after realizing that democracy isn’t nearly as cool as Howard Dean. Will America’s impassioned youth make haste for the Edwards and Kerry camps? Don’t count...
...marriages often provoke us to throw the china and utter the unforgivables. The context is usually personal, not political, but either way, passions run high.

France stepped up its foolish campaign against freedom of religion yesterday when Luc Ferry, its education minister, said that bandannas worn as religious symbols would be included in a proposed ban on headscarves, large crucifixes, turbans and skullcaps in public schools. This latest lunacy illustrates the utter contempt the French government has for religious expression—students can wear bandannas to show their gang affiliations, for example, but not for their religion. The education minister’s laughable clarification comes after some leaders of France’s Muslim organizations advised French women who wanted to continue wearing...
