    The best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party is for the Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade. Liberal judicial activism in general - and Roe in particular - is the biggest gift the Republican Party has ever gotten. Because of Roe, three generations of Republican politicians have had the luxury of posturing about their opposition to legalized abortion, without ever having to pay the price for that opposition. If Roe is reversed, abortion will be outlawed in some states - although in fewer than either pro-life or pro-choice activists imagine. But an almost certain side effect of...

This was also the kind...

    Ask folks in Silicon Valley these days about their biggest fear, and you likely won't hear about Osama bin Laden, global warming, or failing schools. These days, everyone's afraid of offshore outsourcing--the movement of white-collar jobs, especially in the high-tech sector, from the United States to foreign countries, where the labor is cheap, plentiful, and, increasingly, well-educated. "There's an increased level of anxiety about what the economy's going to be like," says Marcus Courtney, president of the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers.

    <p>Well, you can say one thing for President Bush's new immigration reform proposal: It makes all of the people who say he's a reincarnated Adolf Hitler look like idiots (again). It's kind of hard to see Der Fuhrer offering what amounts to a sweeping amnesty to millions of Third Worlders residing illegally in our midst.</p>
