No More Waiting

The way this first paragraph is phrased, shows just how partisan the media really is. Saying this was “one of the most partisan victories in modern history,” reveals the AP writer’s bias.

Alito is Sworn in for Supreme Court

Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s 110th Supreme Court justice on Tuesday after being confirmed by the Senate in one of the most partisan victories in modern history.

Kennedy and Kerry really are pathetic. They didn’t even come close to mustering enough support in their own party to filibuster this nominee.

Glad to see you won’t have to wait any longer. Congratulations, Justice Alito!

Conservatives Gone Wild

I don’t think this was very funny. It’s just as funny as Nina Totenberg wishing AIDS on Jesse Helms grandchildren.

Coulter Jokes About Poisoning Supreme Court Justice

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, speaking at a traditionally black college, joked that Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned.

I know you’re known for biting satire, Ann, but this goes a little too far.

“We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee,” Coulter said. “That’s just a joke, for you in the media.”

I hope this boy and his parents prevail in their lawsuit. I agree with them, the public school system is not designed for boys. If he prevails, then things might be easier for my boy when he gets to school. My son is a bright boy, but if they treat him the way they treat his sister, he will rebel and may not do as well in school.

Schoolboy’s bias suit

Girls are outperforming boys because the school system favors them, said Anglin, who has filed a federal civil rights complaint contending that his school discriminates against boys.

Texas border standoff with Mexican military

Texas law enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents engaged in an armed standoff with Mexican military personnel and drug smugglers just inside the United States along the Rio Grande yesterday afternoon.

Maybe we’re at war with the wrong country? Seems like the Mexican military is more of a threat to the U.S. than the insurgents in Iraq. President Bush, it’s time to declare war on Mexico!
