Why we need health insurance for kids

Parting Shots: Democrats

See also my Republican parting shots.
Hillary Clinton: Since she doesn’t have any legacy other than trying and failing to ban violent video games, trying and failing to ban flag burning, trying and failing to pass universal health care, Clinton is trying to run on her husband’s legacy instead. That legacy includes the Defense of Marriage […]
Parting Shots: Republicans (updated)

Ron Paul still courting racist right?
Monday, December 24th, 2007
I’ve suspected for a long time that Ron Paul was deliberately courting the racist right, whether or not he himself is racist. For an “outsider” candidate like Paul, he can use all the votes he can get - including ones from avowed racists. For a little bit of background, read my open letter to Ron […]

Why do they call Rudy Giuliani the Manhattan Mussolini?
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007
Giuliani’s been almost forgotten lately thanks to all the media hype surrounding candidates like Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. But while Giuliani’s campaign is undeniably slipping, and Huckabee and Paul’s undeniably surging, Giuliani should not be discounted yet. Huckabee’s over taken Giuliani in most of the early states, and in some recent national polls. But […]

Ontological Terrorism for the Holidays
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007
My latest Spliced column:
Christmas is always a good time of year for ontological terrorism. For example, “The psychedelic secrets of Santa Claus†by Dana Larsen from Cannibus Culture Magazine is one of my favorite links to spread around Christmas time. Larsen makes the case that though Santa Claus is now a symbol of our annual […]
