Excuse me, but what is the Democratic-lead Senate doing wasting its time, and ours, debating and voting about the wording of a newspaper ad?

Hillary’s Significant Bother, that other Clinton who hung around the Whitehouse molesting interns while Hillary enjoyed her first two terms as president, perfected a strategy to help win elections on the false premise that he was a normal, moderate guy. He teed off on obnoxious and bigoted rap artist, named Sistah Souljah, and crushed her like an Eminem. It did nothing to actually make his platform or ideology more moderate, but the symbolism was perfect. Hillary needs that opportunity. Hillary needs to stop Barack Obama from getting to the center faster than she. She needs a symbolic and empty public...

Columnist Mike Gallagher thinks Hillary Clinton should have taken the path of least resistance at her recent town hall meeting in New Hampshire by apologizing for her support of the Iraq War: [A] fawning Democrat ... basically told her Democrats want to support her all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but they just can't do so until she comes clean about her years-long support of the war. ... another presidential contender, John Edwards, has no problem with apologizing for his vote for the war in Iraq -- so why can't she?

I have long assumed that John Kerry is as much of an open-borders advocate as George W. Bush, if not more so. But yesterday, Kerry struck a different note. He told the Spanish-language television outlet Telemundo that he opposes granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. "I think that driver's licenses are part of the legality of being here," he said. More: Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry talked up pro-Hispanic immigration reforms when he was in Phoenix earlier this week at annual meetings of the National Council of La Raza. But the Massachusetts senator also told Spanish language media outlet Telemundo...

After Bank One's "Ten Reasons a Beer is better than a Black Man" t-shirt give-away on campus last spring a $50,000 contribution was made to U of L to further the progress of diversity. Diane Whitlock, Administrative Assistant to the Vice Provost for Diversity, said in an email interview that a committee comprised mostly of students decided to use those funds to establish a diversity lecture series on campus. Instead, what we got was Sistah Souljah: the black equivalent of David Duke. "Souljah was not born to make white people comfortable," says Sistah on her aptly named release Hate that...
