- Well, Billy.. It’s why I stopped reading Sullivan some years ago. It was truly sad to see and devolve into the blithering idiot he’s become. If anything, over the years, he’s actually gotten worse; now apparently considering himself to be the center of the universe. What is truly troubling, is that he still considers himself a conservative. The measure by which he manages to squeeze himself into that category, still eludes me…. Though I think I’d be more worried… I’d take it as a sign of madness… if I actually understood how he does that. I’m quite sure that he’d be able to explain a great detail.
- It is always amazing to me,
to see newspapers, who will invariably take the side of the unions in an employment dispute, when they become embroiled in an dispute of their own. The high sounding rhetoric which emanates from the newspapers under normal circumstances, suddenly becomes covered by a giant cone of silence. (What?) …..Powerline has details - Gee, big surprise; it turns out that the RIAA’s investigation techniques have been extra-legal. Techdirt fills us in.
- Ace asks an interesting question as regards the unfairness doctrine. “Without talk radio, would there have been any debate on this amnesty abomination at all? Who would have given fair coverage to the position favored by at least 70% of Americans?” Who, indeed. Think about it this way; without talk radio and without the blogs that abomination would be the law. That would be a direct outcome of the implementation of the so called “fairness doctrine”.
- By the way, I have just revealed one of the flaws in doing these nightly rambles in bulleted format: block quotes don’t work. Gonna work on that.
- I got a first place in the OTB Caption Contest. All in good pun. Speaking of OTB James addresses the question of “What to do with Al Gore?” Personally, I would seriously consider starting a fire by rubbing his ears together.
- Michelle Malkin reminds us that there is a democratic party presidential debate at Howard university tonight. I guess that one slipped my mind. Given the events of today, guess what the main topic is going to be?
- Speaking of which, the amnesty bill is not due for another resurrection until the end of the Bush presidency. Apparently, they figure they’re not going to get it through with the current Congress. Probably true. But guess what? Given the numbers I’m seeing right now in terms of satisfaction ratings with the democrats in Congress, it’s not gonna get past next time, either.
- Speaking of dead letters, it would appear that the “fairness doctrine” is off the table for the time being, as well. They …..probably figure try again after ’08. but I doubt they’ll get the chance, for the same reasons. HotAir has the details there. Alex Bolton has just posted something to The Hill on that topic, and Ramesh is on it at NRO, as well.
- The left is having a cow for the Supreme Court rulings about the school integration plans. I’ll get into that an extended post later tonight. I’ve already written a substantial amount of it in various comment sections around the place.
- So, let’s see here. The Democrats got sent packing on this amnesty nonsense, the supposed “fairness doctrine” bites the dust by a wide margin, and the supreme court decides that the best way to stop a racism is to stop making laws based on race. I’d say all in all that ends up being a good day.
