Party Like It's 1959How pleasing it is to me that the White Sox won the pennant tonight over the Angels. Better luck next time, Angels fans, and don't forget to take all of your stuffed monkeys and inflatable plastic tubes home with you....The Saddam Trial
The AP has an incredible story about the televised Saddam trial in Iraq. It's striking the different ways people choose to remember Hussein:The moment Saddam Hussein appeared, a Shiite housewife spat on the screen and then sat gnawing her fingers,...Update on the Kambon Incident
Dr. Kamon Kambon spoke at Howard University when he advocated genocide against white people, but he was not a professor there as my post erroneously indicated. Apparently he had been a faculty member at the African Studies Department at North...The Miers Choice
I have held off on denouncing Harriet Miers and calling for her withdrawal, as so many conservative bloggers have been willing to do. The reason is simple. As Michael Ledeen says over at National Review, there is no award for...The Cheeseburger Bill
Fat people might not be able to bankrupt eateries in the future: The Republican-controlled House voted Wednesday to shield fast-food chains from lawsuits that blame them for making people fat. Nicknamed the "cheeseburger bill," the measure stems from lawsuits accusing...Democrat Professors
A friend sent me a story from the Chronicle for Higher Education (subscription required) which features a study indicating the overwhelming majority of all politically active professors at top law schools are Democrats. The survey is part of a paper...United Nations
It just keeps looking worse and worse for these guys.The scandal engulfing the United Nations Procurement Department now appears to be bottomless. It also shows signs of growing more sinister, especially where it involves a mysterious private company called IHC...More Comments on Miers Nomination
Ann Coulter Continues Criticism of Choice
Ann Coulter is no stranger to well delivered (and well deserved) invective, and she continues her barrage of criticism of the Harriet Miers appointment to SCOTUS in her inimitable style.
She goes beyond this, to note a more serious problem than the appointment itself:
The sickness of what liberals have done to America is that so many citizens ? even conservative citizens ? seem to believe the job of a Supreme Court justice entails nothing more than "voting" on public policy issues. The White House considers it relevant to tell us Miers' religious beliefs, her hobbies, her hopes and dreams. She's a good bowler! A stickler for detail! Great dancer! Makes her own clothes! That's nice for her, but what we're really in the market for is a constitutional scholar who can forcefully say, "No ? that's not my job." (Emphasis Added)We've been waiting 30 years to end the lunacy of nine demigods on the Supreme Court deciding every burning social issue of the day for us, loyal subjects in a judicial theocracy. We don't want someone who will decide those issues for us ? but decide them "our" way. If we did, a White House bureaucrat with good horse sense might be just the ticket.The super-hot button issue with both the left and the conservative side is Roe v. Wade. After commenting specifically on what is realistically describes as "the abortion holocaust" she reaches what the Chief considers as the most profound observation of all:
We've gone from a representative democracy to a (judicial) monarchy, and the most appalling thing is ? even conservatives just hope like the dickens the next king is a good one.Indeed. We would be better served by remembering the old American Revolutionary slogan: "No King but King Jesus!"
