I’ve just refreshed the pieces posted at left. My conservatism essay is now up in full; along with reflections on a year of civil marriage for all in Massachusetts; and a take on the “Toilet Wars” between Bush and the press. Check ’em out.
EMAIL OF THE DAY II: “Re: The Deal. You confirmed for me what I already knew – it’s a raw one for the GOP. The very fact that a bigot like yourself likes it proves to me that Republicans got screwed. AND you got what you really wanted – pIss off the right-wing base in hopes of depressing 2006 turnout so you can gain seats and secularize American culture.
This is far from over. Bush is not going to nominate O’Connor for Chief Justice – get a clue! She will probably retire soon anyway. Scalia for Chief Justice and someone of like mind to succeed him on the Court. You know it, I know it and the left knows it. At that point, the GOP will have to pull the trigger and morons like Lindsey Graham will vote their constituents’ interest or be bludgeoned to political death in the next primary. Conservatives still hold the cards Andrew. Don’t go wetting your “sane” self just yet.” Charming. And accurate.
