There was a time when the Republican Party was the ship that flew the banner of the Equal Rights Amendment. Mary Crisp went down with the Titanic, railing about women’s issues to the irate Reagan revolutionaries in the days leading up to the 1980 presidential convention. All revolutions have their heroines and heroes whose heresies lead them to be burned at the stake,” wrote Tanya Melich in “The Republican War Against Women.” “Mary Crisp was ours.” It was quite a finale for a woman who was basically a career volunteer, the prototypical ’50s suburban housewife who worked to put her...

Watching the Signs The race for 2008 is already underway on the Republican side, you just have to know what to look for.NOT SINCE 1952 has a presidential election lacked a sitting president or vice president as a contestant, and Ike was about as close as one could get to non-official incumbent. Before that, it was the 1928 race, and there, too, Herbert Hoover was, like Ike, a figure of towering popularity. In other words, there has never not been a front-runner in at least one party in the modern scrambles for the presidency. Here is a bit of evidence...

I received the following unsolicited bulk email (UBE, or "spam") that claims to represent the "National Federation of Republican Women." How do I know it's spam? Well, first off, I didn't sign up for their "list." Secondly, whatever idiot did sign me up has my gender all wrong. Finally, this message was apparently sent via an open relay on the HostCentric network. In short, it has all the classic signs of vile, smelly spam. I'm including full headers so that anyone who's of a mind can determine if this is legitimate or a spammer's idea of a frame-up against an...
