ArchPundit
Zorn identifies the problem with blanket amnesty. If you grant it, the rest of the debate and discussion will be ruined.
At least Kass agrees with
At least Kass agrees with me about Bob Greene. And kudos for the consistency. As much as I disagreed with him about Clinton and abortion, Kass is always consistent.
Steve Chapman is great. The
Steve Chapman is great. The article above is good, but best is this joke:
” The USDA’s persistence brings to mind the joke about the civil servant found weeping at his desk in the Bureau of Indian Affairs. “What’s wrong?” someone asked. “My Indian died,” he answered.”
The hard work is just
The hard work is just beginning on welfare reform and Califano points out why. The easy cases have largely been solved barring large increases in unemployment. Keeping strict standards is fine, but one has to understand the population we are dealing with.
