A package and pre-conditions for North Korea. Celebrating 68: Corrections. Imposed equality: Pushing up or sanding down? Reality, the first victim of idle fantasies. The victims got what they deserved.

If the various Czars exercise real power, shouldn't they be accountable to Congress. During his religious teleconference, President Obama, like Hillary Clinton before him, used the Ninth Commandment to condemn his detractors and opponents of the Democrat's idea of health care reform. Exploiting the disfavored-gunshot victims, blacks, women, "gays," the poor-was Ted Kennedy's stock in trade. Throwing tax money at problems was a lot easier than crafting truly effective policy, much of which would have put the main burden on the private community. If Ted Kennedy's crusading was supposed to be a show of compassion, to the observant individual it failed miserably. His compassion was always at the expense of other people's money and never his own. If TR were alive today, he would be in the forefront of those seeking to change the status quo, just as he did in his own day. Today's Republicans bear no resemblance whatever to Theodore Roosevelt. They have no policies and no ideas except "No." Edward Kennedy became the person thrown in the faces of Catholics who argued that being pro-life was essential to living the life of a practicing Catholic. No one perceives merely color when they think about race. Seeing a failure to achieve perfection in an area as a characteristic problem is far more of a problem than what ostensibly needs invasive and aggressive remedy. It usually yields a cure worse than the disease. When affairs of state rudely intrude themselves into the lives of our Democrat presidents, a trip to the Vineyard causes these to roll away like the gentle waves that kiss the nearby Chappaquiddick Island shoreline. Since the American people don't care and generally approve of terrorist interrogations, why are we impaneling an inquisition against our own operatives in the war on terror? The ugliest chapter in the progressive-fascist alliance centered on eugenics, the pseudo-science of racial purification. First cars, next power plants. Wasting natural resources to promote eco ideologies. In Obama-world, opposing health care "reform" is bearing false witness. "Bigotry" is a term no less beset with problems than "racism," and like the latter, there is no definition of the former that promises to be to the mutual satisfaction of all interested parties. Getting the unwanted nuke. Right and Left. Illusions about tyrannies. Governing creates enemies. The failing state and society's reaction. Undermining the global order by ignoring the insanity of leading eccentrics. The Dictator's Tantrum. Major League Baseball needs to get its financial house in order. The current revenue sharing system is not getting the job done. A tribute to IC's brother Nathan Alexander who passed away from leukemia on May 24, 2009. Emily Ham was one of his favorite students and most talented writers. A memorial service is being held at Troy University at 5pm on August 24, 2009. Obama and Co. have lost the trust of the American people. More than a star-studded music festival, it was a defining moment in our nation's history. Today a museum marks the spot, courtesy of an earmark from Senator Hillary Clinton, and a totem pole pays tribute to three dead rock 'n roll legends who played there — Hendrix, Joplin, and Garcia. America's love of animals trumped the heretofore indestructible use of racism as a defense for wrongdoing, and Michael Vick could not escape the wrath of millions. To most whites the phenomenon of affluent and privileged blacks like Henry Louis Gates, Jr. harboring racial grievances toward the United States is a baffling curiosity. The phenomenon is best explained by the twin concepts of White Ignorance, which demands a post-racial or trans-racial world, and Black Guilt, which, in glaring contrast, demands an enlivened racial awareness. Accusing your political opponents of "racism" is the first play in the "progressive" playbook. Healthcare "reform" is all about the raw power to decide who gets what treatment, while cramming everyone into identical little boxes in order to eliminate any efforts in the direction of individuality.
