Avoiding Middle Eastern Description? Now
Avoiding Middle Eastern Description?
Now Instapundit is noting how hard everyone is trying to avoid the description of the assailants in the DC Burbs as Middle Eastern. Why would that be? Maybe because the witnesses aren’t claiming to have seen Middle Eastern men and Instapud and pals are trying to pin everything they can on Arabs.
And what the hell does Middle Eastern look like anyway?
Another interesting note on how bad Instapud wants this to be an Arab is his pointing out the Hispanic article which was posted early in the morning on the 4th while up above he mentions the specific subject being looked for today. Why would a 36 hour old news story be more reliable than the 2 hour old news story. Because he wants it to be an Arab?

All of the support coming from the wingnuts in the Christian Coalition for Israel has been quite humorous to watch. Maureen Dowd points out the weirdness here.

Tom Friedman identifies the the real problem with the Democrats. The Democrats seem paralyzed in fear of a man who couldn’t win the plurality of votes in the Presidential race. Instead of being against his energy plan, why not present an alternative that shows how beholden he is to energy interests. Why not make the case for multilateralism? Why not make the case for fiscal responsibility?

And he does it well. The Leave No Child Behind Act and most versions of school vouchers aren’t wrong because they force choice, they are wrong because few who advocate such laws really want choice for kids in failing schools. Such laws are cynical jokes on the poor.
Even Kass Takes on Birkett
Even Kass Takes on Birkett
To be fair, Kass takes a pretty even swing at everyone he feels deserves it, but the combine is often a favorite target–a combine that includes Lisa Madigan’s father. Kass is also against the Death Penalty so I was wondering where he’d come down. I shouldn’t have–he is a good man. He takes Birkett to task for the DuPage Sevel deal.

In a pretty balanced column, Miller lays out the case for Lee Daniels being more than the usual hack, but also time to go.

Rich Miller says J-Ry is going negative. The problem is he is so far behind, it will only drive down overall turnout and right now, the Rs down ballot are much more susceptible to low turnout. Important races such tactics could hurt include Shimkus, Topinka and Birkett.
CAPITOL FAX “SNIPPETS”
A Tiny Taste of Capitol Fax from October 4, 2002:
NEGATIVES TO START SOON (excerpt) Insiders say Jim Ryan will begin running negative TV ads against his opponent as early as Monday.
The ads will reportedly play up allegations that Rod Blagojevich’s father-in-law, Alderman Dick Mell, has ties to Chicago gang leaders and other unsavory characters. It could not be determined yesterday how much money JRyan will put behind the buy.

Reason is usually dull and predictable. If I’m wrong, it is because everytime I have read it, it is dull and predictable. However, they do have a good article on-line now about how free trade is good the developing world bringing them in line with Oxfam–not a typical situation.

One of the Most Underreported Stories in Florida
Jeb has highly politicized the state university system. What will this mean in the long run? Large payouts for violating contractual terms of people the political appointees don’t like, and the best candidates choosing other systems that aren’t as politicized. IOW, mediorce colleges.
How about that Jeb!
