Federal Court to Hear Schiavo Case Today

By -
How many think this is the worst sort of political grandstanding in which Ms. Shiavo's fate is totally irrelevant to the Republican party.

This woman has been unable to do anything for herself for 15 years. The matter has been litigated up and down the Florida courts.

Does Tom DeLay really give a damn other than to try a create a wedge issue for the midterm election in which Florida Senator Nelson will have to take a position.

I think that it is an excellent idea for Judges to be able to determine if a person's "quality of life" is sufficiently high to merit being permitted to live, regardless of the feelings of the blood relatives. Another excellent exercise of judicial fiat. I have a list of people whose lives seem worthless to me. Don't you?

Why not just show comments where it is easy to see them, on the first page? Now we have a two step process to look at them? As far as I am concerned, anyone can post anything they want.

Anger Management

   Isn't it interesting that Religion and Politics are taboo topics in polite company?  These are very important to many people, but discussing them only seems to provoke anger in most people.  The exception seems to be that people of similar opinions can discuss with one another how much they hate, desipise, and laugh at those of different beliefs.   Apparently, religions and politics are not subjects that most people desire to consider in a calm, cool, rational manner.  Rather, for most people, religion and politics are emotional topics.  They are the subject of Faith.  People have faith in their religion.  More surprisingly, (at least to me) they have Faith in their politics.  Faith and Reason are like oil and water; they do not mix.   I am not restricting my comments to stupid people or any particular party.  My observation seems true to me of very intelligent members of various parties (although there does seems to be a tendency to judge members of parties to which you do not

Victory in Fallujah

_____________________ by Ralph Peters New York Post November 11, 2004 -- IN the Second Battle of Fallujah, military operations are ahead of schedule. Our casualties have been blessedly light. The terrorists who haven't fled are being killed by the hundreds. Our troops will soon achieve their goal of eliminating Iraq's key safe haven for terrorists. Our Marines and soldiers have carried the ball inside the 10-yard line. The media's response? Move the goalposts. The legions of pundits ("Will talk for food") now suggest that a win in Fallujah will be meaningless because we failed to kill or capture the terrorist leadership, because some of the thugs ran away and because Fallujah won't resemble Darien, Conn., by next Sunday. On Tuesday, as our troops handily pierced the defenses terrorists had spent months erecting, The New York Times carried two front-page stories implying that our forces were facing possible defeat. The Times' military analysis

Rove Above the Law

Opinion Pull Up a Chair, Mr. Rove Friday 11 July 2008 » by: Dana Milbank, The Washington Post Karl Rove had never been so agreeable. The former chief strategist to President Bush was the only witness listed on the agenda for yesterday's meeting of the House Judiciary Committee, and he proved to be uncharacteristically contained. Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), chairman of the subcommittee holding the hearing, declared herself "extremely disappointed and deeply concerned" about Rove's behavior. Rove was silent. Sanchez spoke of his "role in the alleged politicization of the Justice Department" and his hand in "the unprecedented firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006." Rove offered no defense. "If such allegations were true," said Rep. Chris Cannon (Utah), the ranking Republican on the panel, "they would be very serious." Rove did not dispute this. There was good reason for The Architect's qui
