2007-11-01 18:50  The Latell Report
U.S. Policy and Cuba s Security Services President George W. Bush s address on Cuba policy at the State Department on October 24 was his first since Raul Castro s accession to power fifteen months ago. The president used powerful, and at times evocative, language in reaffirming his administration s commitment to maintaining the economic embargo until a genuine democratic transition begins on the island. He welcomed several supportive members of congress --conservative Republicans and Blue Dog De …

2007-10-30 07:29  Naomi Klein hyllas i SVT
Efter Johan Norbergs sågning, vid fotknölarna, av DN:s Ulrika Kärnborg och hennes recension av Naomi Kleins bok Chockdoktrinen så trodde väl de flesta att ingen vänsterjournalist skulle våga att ge sig på att fara med så många osanningar och hylla boken igen. Men nu har precis SVT:s Nyhetsmorgon gett boken fem poäng av fem möjliga och upprepar de osanningar som Ulrika Kärnborg far med i sin recension. För att citera Norberg: Before you blame the Iraq war on Milton Friedman, wouldn t it be honest …

2007-10-24 22:36  What Terri Wrote
Terri Blackstock does not blog, but recently I saw a copy of an important email she sent to several friends, and asked if she would offer something similar here. To my delight, she graciously agreed. Terri is always doing something gracious. For example, although we had never met, soon after the publication of my first novel she took time out of a busy book tour schedule to have dinner with my wife and me, along with my mother who was a big fan. I will never forget the encouragement Terri offere …

2007-10-20 14:49  Them' and 'us' split spreading nationwide, federal officials warn
Federal officials have privately warned the Conservative government that Quebec's debate over reasonable accommodation of minorities is spreading across Canada and could trigger "alarming" divisions in the country. Internal government documents show Jason Kenney, the federal secretary of state for multiculturalism and Canadian identity, personally requested a comprehensive briefing on the issue earlier this year. The deputy minister of Canadian heritage, Judith LaRocque, responded with a detaile …

2007-10-18 23:54  Message from Ron Paul (10/18/07)
The other day, my old sparring partner in so many Congressional committee hearings, Alan Greenspan, was on the Fox Business Channel. After Alan promoted his new book, the reporter asked if we really needed a central bank. Greenspan looked stunned, and then said that was a good question; he actually talked about fiat money vs. a gold standard. Now, the ex-Fed chairman is not about to endorse our sound monetary policy, but you know our Revolution is working when such a question is asked in the mai …

2007-10-18 18:46  Pat Paulsen for the YouTube set
You may have heard that Comedy Central comdeian and faux conservative blowhard Stephen Colbert, a native of South Carolina, announced yesterday that he's running for president : He says he'll compete in his home state's primary... or rather, primar ies : Colbert plans to seek the nomination, or at least some delegates, of both parties. (According to CNN, South Carolina's "Republicans are holding their primary January 19, while the Democrats will vote January 26.") My first thought when I heard a …

2007-10-18 10:50  A GOP Formula For Victory In 2008
Going into the 2008 election cycle, the biggest political "enemy" Republican candidates face is the public perception of "business as usual." Despite the gloomy prognostications of Hillary's inevitability as the next heir to the White House, she is no more "invincible" as a candidate than was her husband. And here a reality check is in order. Although the press would have us all believe that Bill Clinton was and is universally adored, attaining a status somewhere between that of a rock star and …

2007-10-18 03:33  Ron Paul's Money
Stephen Dinan, writing for our capital's Moonie newspaper, says "he's now in such a good financial situation that he should be considered one of the top contenders for the Republican presidential nomination" Ron Paul's stashed cash. Furthermore, as the only true fiscal conservative in the race, he'll be able to get more bang for the buck than anyone else. Certainly, he won't be paying himself a six-figure salary à la Alan Keyes .Here's an article explaining whom our men (and, alas, women) in uni …

By Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America and Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America (THE WASHINGTON POST, 17/10/07): As the presidents of NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Christian Coalition of America, we are on opposite sides of almost every issue. But when it comes to the fundamental right of citizens to participate in the political process, we're united - and very, very worried. Free speech shouldn't stop when you turn on your computer or pick up your ce …

More so called 'unintended consequences' of Harpers Income Trust flip flop and Ralph Klein's Electrical deregulation. And if you believe this was unintended then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you. Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, Asia's richest man, is targeting further growth in Canada's energy sector as a company he controls has snapped up Calgary-based TransAlta Power LP for $629-million and could buy more of the country's beleaguered income trusts.

2007-10-17 03:41  The Conscience of a Conservative
by Christopher L. Webber [Editor's Note: This essay was accepted for submission on October 6. Biographical information about the author is available here, where we published his earlier essay.] Traditional Anglican Catholicism is hardly a œliberal � system. We shape our pattern of worship by a centuries old Prayer Book and, when questioned about our faith, we refer the questioner to fourth- and fifth-century creeds. How then have I, who bristles at the word œProtestant, � come to be identified w …

2007-10-16 20:20  Schools as Scapegoats
Larry Mishel and Richard Rothstein have written a long piece for The American Prospect titled "Schools as Scapegoats," which is a good summary of the labor-centered critique of education reform. They make some good points, but I think their larger takes on the political and the policy implications are deeply misguided. First, the good points. A Nation at Risk was released 24 years ago on a wave of scare-mongering about public education--if we don't reform the schools, people said, the economic c …

2007-10-15 15:22  Ten places more ready for sovereignty than Palestine...
Speaking as the great-great-grandson of one who actively opposed the annexation of Hawaii and the great-grandson of one who actively opposed American imperialism and the occupation of the Philippines a century ago (under Wm. McKinley's policy of "benevolent assimilation"), I believe my anti-colonialist pedigree is pretty good for someone who can say "neo-conservative" without cursing. Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice I am sure believes she is seizing the moral high ground by calling for a Palestin …

Attitude Journalism... The coverage of the DeMoss letter continues, this time from Slate .  You remember Slate - "Anti-Mormon Bigotry Central" courtesy of Jacob Weisberg.   Well, for reasons completely unknown, and despite the fact that they reprint Demoss' letter in toto, they feel compelled to summarize it.  In so doing, and by the sheer tone of of the summary, they manage to cast aspersions in any religious direction they can find.  It is a bit like reading about the discovery of a toxic wast …

2007-10-15 10:50  Forget the 12-year-old, let's beat up Al Gore for a while
Paul Krugman writes about Gore Derangement Syndrome in the same edition of the NYTimes as this "disclaimer" article. See also Stanley Fish's "Yet Once More: Political Correctness on Campus," but be advised that Fish is really talking about "patriotic correctness." The harder the right tries to turn the world upside down, the more the world fights for normalcy, another concept we wouldn't tolerate if we better understood what it was about. Either you are working to find a solution, or you're work …

Via the admirable Mr E, I find Matthew Parris offering some sound advice to the Tories. Parris, one of the most urbane journalists working in London, found himself making an argument he didn't, on reflection, quite believe: Here was the wise argument: œDavid Cameron and his Conservative colleagues were entitled to their half-hour of fun at Prime Minister s Questions, at Brown s expense. They landed their punches. But they should not think this will serve as opposition policy for the next two yea …
