Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.
"A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures."

Thursday, July 24, 2003 :::
Here's what to read today:
- Bill Kristol has a column about Gephardt's 16 words: "George Bush has left us less safe and less secure than we were four years ago."
Dean said on June 22 that "we don't know whether in the long run the Iraqi people are better off" with Hussein gone, and "we don't know whether we're better off." At the time, Gephardt demurred from Dean's agnosticism.
Now, exactly one month later, Gephardt is following in Dean's footsteps.
- George Will thinks Bush is presiding over the decline of conservatism.
- Representative John Dingell (D-MI) doesn't want carpetbaggers coming to his state to fight racism. Ward Connerly's coming anyway.
- CNN foreign bureaus are still burying negative stories about the governments of those countries.
- Over at the Fox News site, a columnist says that France is uncivilized.
- Last and probably least, the AP demonstrates its commitment to unbiased journalism.
In theory, pursuing with intent to kill violates a long-standing policy banning political assassination. It was the misfortune of Saddam Hussein's sons, Odai and Qusai, that the Bush administration has not bothered to enforce the prohibition.
Prof. Volokh responds.
And, of course, the links over to your right. And quite a ways down -- I should probably switch the archive links with the blogroll links.
Anyway, go read.
UPDATE: I've added a couple things to read, and changed the blog template such that the blog-roll comes before the archives.
