I concur.

I’m not a big scholar of the history of the Supreme Court, but could it just be possible that Justice Scalia is the worst justice to ever serve our nations highest court? Witness the irony of banning all the media from an event where he received an award for supporting free speech. Say wa? Then […]

Witness this article from the Washinton Post: And the Verdict on Justice Kennedy Is: Guilty (washingtonpost.com) Conservative leaders meeting in Washington yesterday for a discussion of “Remedies to Judicial Tyranny” decided that Kennedy, a Ronald Reagan appointee, should be impeached, or worse. … Not to be outdone, lawyer-author Edwin Vieira told the gathering that Kennedy […]

Stories like this one have been making the rounds, probably in response to the unfortunate remarks which Harvard University President Lawrence Summers made last month that suggested that innate differences between men and women might be responsible for the differences that the two sexes demonstrate in math and sciences. Unfortunately, in all of the these […]

CNN is running a story about students’ lack of knowledge about the First Amendment that is getting quite a bit of blog space. Short excerpts: Yet, when told of the exact text of the First Amendment, more than one in three high school students said it goes “too far” in the rights it guarantees. Only […]

Disgruntled? Harpers published a practical guide to what you can do about it.

We will not recognize America in four more years. That will make half of America giddy. It will terrify the other half. Dan Gillmor

While as of this hour Bush has not declared victory, nor Kerry conceded victory, both seem to be inevitable. I’m depressed, and I can’t help but wonder where my country has gone. Don’t think I’ll be up to podcasting today. Four million of you conspired to ruin my mood.

Breaking with the tradition of geeky news, your host explains why he’s voting for the Kerry/Edwards ticket this year, and encourages everyone to go out and vote, no matter what your political affiliation. After tomorrow, it will be back to geekiness, I promise.

C-SPAN recently ran an interview with Jon Stewart and just like his appearance on Crossfire, he continues to roast the conventional television media for participating in the farce that is “popular journalism”. I’ll undoubtably rant about this some more in my podcast, but here is an idea for thought: Fox News made a deliberate choice […]

The New Yorker endorses Kerry in an essay that in most respects echoes my own thoughts on the upcoming election. We shall see who prevails on November 2.
