Keynoter
Rudy Giuliani will not be John McCain’s running mate. If that were still in the cards, Giuliani would not have been tapped to deliver the keynote speech at the RNC. This, by the way, is also a sop to the… Continue Reading

Should John McCain Pick A Pro-Choice Veep?
Personally, I’d love it if he did, although I’m not crazy about Tom Ridge for other reasons, particularly including his association with the incumbent Administration and his embrace of the pro-bureaucracy Homeland Security Act. Still, I’m pro-choice and I think… Continue Reading
Abortion As Art
My bullshit meter is reading pretty high on this one. But here’s the story; it’s all over the Internets and has caused the Yale Daily News website to go down from the traffic spike: An art student at Yale claims… Continue Reading
Stem Cell Breakthrough
I’m as happy as anyone that scientists have found a way to create human stem cells from adult skin, and that now research on stem cells can progress without having to destroy embryos. But that doesn’t mean that the past… Continue Reading

Spoiling for a fight before a new Supreme Court next year (coincidentally during election season), Mississippi is apparently on the verge of outlawing all abortions except in the case of rape or endangerment of the mother. Note the absence of… Continue Reading
A Desperate Smear
Mitt “4% behind a guy who isn’t even running” Romney today said of Rudy Giuliani, “He is pro-choice, he is pro-gay marriage, and anti-gun,” which is about one-third correct. This is a desperate ploy for support amongst social conservatives, but… Continue Reading
The Pitch, Part V (Don’t Sell Out, Rudy!)
To my immediate displeasure, I note that Rudy Giuliani dropped an important code word while being interviewed by Sean Hannity on Faux News: He said he would appoint “strict constructionist” judges to the Federal courts. Further, he seems to be… Continue Reading
