PROFESSOR BAINBRIDGE REPLIES TO MICHAEL NOVAK on happenings at Ave Maria Law School.
TALK OF OPENING AN IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION for Judge Samuel Kent.
BETTER FOUR YEARS LATE THAN NEVER: “Reuters today reported that the two main groups organizing the antiwar protests on Iraq, ANSWER Coalition and Troops Out Now are associated with the communist World Workers Party.”
That puts them five years behind David Corn.
JUST WATCHED FRED & JERI THOMPSON on Fox. Interesting interview, though the kids on their laps in the first segment were a bit distracting, if cute. The key part was Fred’s final line, where he said — in response to James Dobson’s comments and rumbles of a Christian third party effort — “I’m not going to dance to anybody’s tune.” An implicit contrast to Hillary, as well as a demand for Republican unity, something the Republicans will need if they are to win.
UPDATE: Ian Schwartz has the video, so you can see what you think for yourself.
“WEAK HAS A FACE, AND IT’S PELOSI’S.” Some right-wing talk-radio guy? Nope, The Huffington Post. (Via Dan Riehl).
U.S. authorities have frozen the New York City bank accounts of a jailed political fundraiser and attached the contents of his $8,000 (€5,635)-a-month apartment while awaiting the outcome of claims that he stole $40 million (€28.2 million).
The Hong Kong-born Norman Hsu is charged in New York with swindling the money from investors and using some of his profits to make illegal donations to political campaigns, including that of Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton and others have rushed to give back the money.
This is no hsurprise. Read the whole thing.
FRED THOMPSON ON HARRY REID ON RUSH LIMBAUGH.
UPDATE: In a related item, Tom Maguire offers a lesson in clarity for The New York Times.
Carl Hulse losing writing-style points to the AP? That’s gotta hurt. Then there’s the substance . . . .
ANOTHER UPDATE: Related thoughts here. (Bumped).
THEY TOLD ME THAT IF GEORGE W. BUSH WERE REELECTED, we’d see political censorship run rampant.
And they were right! Wes Clark calls for political discourse to be rated.
FROM THE CODE OF THE WEST, TO . . . well, you’ll see.
“UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE” and government control of your body? “The last few years have demonstrated that rare is the place politicians are unwilling to tread in the name of public health. Universal coverage will complete this governmental mandate to control American lifestyles.”
BILL ROGGIO: “Al Qaeda in Iraq operative killed near Syrian border sheds light on foreign influence.”
OH GOODY: “I neglected to mention that even as he seeks the return of the three-martini lunch, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) is setting you up for a tax on your Internet service by letting the moratorium on Internet taxes expire before his committee will mark it up.”
AT DAILY KOS: SCHIP as baby steps to Hillarycare.
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH gets a bad (judicial) review in Britain: “Schools must warn of Gore climate film bias.” More here.
IS HILLARY’S BABY-BOND IDEA ANTI-GAY? “I really did not think about Hillary Clinton’s $5000 Baby Bond proposal until seeing this poll by Daily Kos. . . . But if the Baby Bond is only available to families of newborns–what does that mean to gays and lesbians?”
JAMES TARANTO stands up against McCarthyism in the Senate.
HEALTH CARE FOR THE CANADIAN RICH AND FAMOUS: “Why do politicians who pay lip service to Canada’s socialized health care system travel to the United States for medical treatment?”
WHAT BILL CLINTON, BORIS YELTSIN, AND HUGO CHAVEZ have in common.
WILL FUKUDA fumble?
JASON VAN STEENWYK is reminded of Wesley Clark’s existence.
JOHN WIXTED LOOKS AT Shiite militias vs. Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq.
HEH: “About the only way I would get invited to Columbia is if I was a Middle East dictator with nuclear weapons.”
UPDATE: Funny, but actually unfair to Columbia Law School.

STILL MORE murder in Burma. The “international community” remains passive.
