One of the problems with concentrating on particular institutions is that other institutions that work well in accommodating different views get lost.

I should have taken Will to task for stating that Uranium depleted munitions are of no danger. Perhaps the specific effects were overstated by the Congressmen, but they can be very toxic and have horrible effects on the environment.

Title IX Primer
One of the funniest things I have ever seen took place after the US Women’s Soccer Team won the Gold. Trent Lott was on Meet the Press and brought it up as a last second issue and asked Lott if that wasn’t a good example of how Title IX’s success. Lott agreed, and then got a stunned look on his face realizing he had just probably offended a significant number of Ole Miss alums with this statement.
Anyway, Lynn Sanders has a great primer on the true significance of Title IX. A good read.

Oh, if only Lautenberg is the guy, it’ll make Torch’s demise all the worse. And that is good. Major kudos to Altercation to be the only one to mention the the Harbury case that I saw.
The System Works I Bullshit
The System Works I
Bullshit J-Ry. The system does not work. It is broken and prosecutorial abuse such as yours, is all to prevalent. Maybe they mean well, but they have forgotten their charge.
The System Works II Who
The System Works II
Who will the Trib endorse after the endless series of articles and editorials on the Death Penalty in Illinois?
J-Ry and Birkett as they seem to be leaning towards? Or Blago and Madigan? Blago and Madigan are far from perfect. Rich Miller has a good discussion of Blago’s problems on the Capitol Fax:
STATEWIDE STUFF Is Rod Blagojevich stupid or corrupt? Or was it the arrogance of a sure-winner that convinced him to move a million dollars of campaign money into a southern Illinois bank owned by the husband of State Board of Elections member just days before a vote on whether the board would proceed on an investigation of his campaign? After all, the board eventually voted 8-0 in his favor, and the action was widely expected.
If Blago is elected and he continues doing this sort of thing, he’s gonna have a long and uncomfortable four years in office. And it will just be only four years. He obviously has no internal moral compass, so he’d better keep someone close to him who does.
And Wanda Rednour, the SBE board member who had Blago over to her house for dinner where her husband broached the funds transfer, ought to resign immediately.
But Blago and Madigan haven’t overseen the capital prosecution of an innocent man and refused to take responsibility. Birkett and J-Ry have refused.

So explain how the system work, J-Ry. Explain how the system works. Come on, do it. Stop avoiding the issue with platitudes.
Huh? Has anyone looked at
Huh? Has anyone looked at the polls?
Instapundit appears to be confused. The polls are good for Dems and the three on the trip to Baghdad simply aren’t that influential. One is leaving Congress and got his butt handed to him in the Michigan gubanorial primary. The other two aren’t party leaders so I have to wonder how two backbenchers and a retiring leader out of public life are going to tarnish an entire political party?
Their argument about dishonesty is made by Kinsley and others in the press as well. This isn’t a fringe idea. Indeed, Weisberg (see below) thinks as I do, we should take on Iraq despite the dishonesty of the administration.
