Readers of a certain age will no doubt fondly remember Mad Magazine of the fifties and early sixties -- with its "Scenes We'd Like to See." There, the writers and illustrators would spoof the taboos of society, fantasizing about what would happen if people "really said and did" what they meant. Today, we no longer have to worry about repressed opinions -- in magazines, on television or anywhere else in the information society. However, at the Supreme Court and particularly amongst its media courtiers, there still exists a taboo that dare not speak its name. It's called "Activist Conservatism." The...

2005-08-24) -- An internal White House memo, leaked today, indicates how President George Bush initially planned to address Cindy Sheehan's question: What "noble cause" did my son die for? The draft memo includes suggestions from White House communications staff, followed by several paragraphs apparently handwritten by the president. While handwriting experts from CBS News continue to pore over the document to verify its authenticity, here is the text of the president's alleged response to the grieving Mom whose protest has captured the hearts of America's journalists. Dear Mrs. Sheehan, You have asked me to identify the noble cause for which...

The late Strom Thurmond left the Democratic Party in 1964, and joined the Republican Party, bringing a part of the Dixiecrat worldview with him. The Republicans were always been the party of Capitalism and equal rights before 1964. During the Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt years, the GOP opposed the Democratic party's socialist policies, and in addition, they were supportive of black Civil Rights. Before 1964, Republicans had proven that there was no contradiction between supporting capitalism, and supporting civil rights. And during the era of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, the Republican Party came to be identified as the party...

I wonder if there was a conservative influence in the TV media {such as FNC} during watergate, would have Nixon survived? Most US journalists claim they are objectively independent, and @ times they can be, but everyone has their biases which eventually leak though. {Dan Rather's journalistic "Depends" are rather saturated.} A) Just as the UK has a 2-party press, US newspapers have always had a partisan bent of some degree, with the left-justified side prevailing. B) Hollywood is overwhelmed by leftists. C) Talk Radio is overwhelmed by rightists. D) Pure-internet based media has the right-justified side prevailing. E) Which...

In the July 19 issue of "Newsweek" Michael Isikoff writes: "American counterterrorism officials, citing what they call 'alarming' intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow for the postponement of the November presidential election in the event of such an attack."(1) That report was surprising enough that even Senator John Kerry interrupted his foolishness on the campaign trail to go get himself updated with a national security briefing he hadn't taken time for in previous weeks. As Isikoff reported: "The prospect that Al Qaeda might seek to disrupt the...

The terror strike in Madrid has evoked a nightmare scenario in which catastrophic terror could be used to undermine the legitimacy of democratic elections by attacking them at their weakest spot, namely, the popular elections. What no government could afford to do as deliberate policy an entire nation may do by visceral impulse, namely, hand the terrorists victory after victory — and all in the name of democracy.      In a response to this European nightmare scenario, Andre Gluckman in an Op Ed piece in the Wall Street Journal has argued that elections in Europe could be postponed in the case...

WHAT IF: kerry picked someone for vice president solely based on popularity, and won in November. THEN, after a decent amount of time had passed, this person, for one reason or another, decided to resign the office (or got 'Fostered' or 'Browned'). WOULD kerry then get to choose his own vice president without any accountability to the general electorate? The question comes up because we were playing 'remember when' at work today and when I asked someone about Spiro Agnew's problems that led to his resignation and all of a sudden it hit me that the same thing could happen...

In a parallel universe called "What if . . . " New York — President-elect John F. Kerry's rise to the nation's highest office came as little surprise following almost four years of remonstrations against President George W. Bush for his bizarre attack on the defenseless people of Afghanistan. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, was the right man for a nation outraged by the Bush administration's pre-emptive war, which, it now seems clear, was based on highly speculative intelligence that Saudi Arabian-born terrorist Osama bin Laden was planning an attack on the U.S. Absent absolute proof of such an imminent...

Ultra-partisan Republicans hate President Clinton. They hate the memory of President Kennedy almost as much. The men have a lot in common — smart, articulate, cool, educated at Harvard, both pointy-headed policy wonks, both charming, witty liberals. So the recent "revelations" about Kennedy's health (which reveal little that was not already known) have caused them great delight. Bushite speechwriter Peggy Noonan (the "thousand points of light" woman) chortled gleefully in the Wall Street Journal that if the media in 1960 had focused on the qualifications of a president they way they do now, Kennedy would never have been elected. And...

President Bush on Friday greeted Olympic figure skater Sarah Hughes at the White House. The president met privately with the 16-year-old gold medalist in the Oval Office, said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Hughes arrived and left outside the view of reporters. The high school junior from Great Neck, N.Y., shocked the sports world Feb. 21 when she turned in a gold medal-winning performance in the figure skating finals, after finishing fourth in the Olympic short program.
