Maybe not as red as Drudge believes. A reader writes:
And is Putin a red? Hmmm. Perhaps Putin is really a Neocon. The way the words "socialist," "communist" and "Nazi" are thrown around today (interchangeably at that!) show what an utterly debased...
This is pretty staggering news:
Two months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Margaret Thatcher told
President Gorbachev that neither Britain nor Western Europe wanted the
reunification of Germany and made clear that she wanted the Soviet leader ...
Charlie Cook and others are predicting a sea-change in public mood, with support for the GOP rising because of deficits. This strikes me as an amazing thing. It makes Charlie Brown, the football and Lucy look like the model of intelligent interaction...

I meant to mark the news yesterday but got distracted by other issues, so late last night I searched through the thousand or so blogs I read to see if I could find anyone making a substantive point about the first day of marriage eq...
Ackerman reports on a NIAC meeting and our foreign policy response to Iran:
There are several bills moving through the Congress to place new
economic sanctions on Iran, including one sponsored in the House by
Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) and another...

Just last week I finished teaching the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and
when I read the Rod Dreher post you linked to, I immediately thought of
Stephen Douglas's arguments for "popular sovereignty" -- the notion
that states, especially...
In many ways, it's helpful and clarifying. The biggest news, it seems to me, is that the CBO judges medical malpractice reform to be capable of saving $41 billion over ten years - not exactly a fiscal life-saver but a measurable idea to control costs a...

I read the dissent of the day about a reader's fatigue
with the Palin soap opera. I agree with the reader on the subject of
Palin obsession, but disagree with his threat to stop reading. The Dish covers a whole host of subjects and if...
The Daily Dish used to be blog that I would check several times a day, but no more. Andrew Sullivan seems to have taken personal umbrage at McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, and the blog has devolved into a series of anti-Palin rants... For example on October 3rd there were 47 posts of which 24 were anti-Palin. At least if these were of the sort "this proves McCain's unfitness to be President" (he has a few of these) that would be OK, but they are about how she speaks, looks, everything she says and does, etc. Extremely tiresome.
So, at this point it's a 5.0 Perhaps once the elections are past it will go back to its normal 9.0 level... Here's hoping!
I like how Andrew interacts with his readers - the blog reads more like a big conversation. He often links to interesting stuff. Recently, though, seems like half of his 50ish posts a day are just slobbering over Obama.
