Underdog Ford Gets a Little Help From His Illinois Friend  —  NASHVILLE — In his race for U.S. Senate, Rep. Harold E.

Prediction thread  —  Here are my predictions.  Note, for the record, that I've been way off on my predictions the past two cycles.  So there's no particular wisdom or inside knowledge or track record to give these predictions any more weight than anyone else's.  They're just for fun.

The Press at War  —  What ever happened to patriotic reporters?  —  We are told by careful pollsters that half of the American people believe that American troops should be brought home from Iraq immediately.  This news discourages supporters of our efforts there.  Not me, though: I am relieved.

Saddam: a tribute  —  Three months ago, Tony Blair warned the world that an "arc of extremism" now stretches across the Middle East from Iran to Lebanon.  This phenomenon, he suggested, threatens the survival of the very values on which western society is based.  Yet, when Blair came to power, no such claim could have been made.

NARAL: Lying for Lieberman  —  I guess it should be no surprise that Nancy Keenan and the national NARAL PAC are lying to Connecticut voters on behalf of Joe Lieberman.  They endorsed him even after he voted for cloture on Samuel Alito and came out against CT NARAL's signature issue of last year …
