Over at NRO Mario Loyola highlights The Nation's "Most Valuable Progressive" list.
The column is a good insight into the far left's view of themselves, their allies, and the political landscape. It also has some truly outrageous stuff, such as this nau Full Text

Two games is a good time. Three games is as full as you can make the day. Four games is an example of bad judgement closely related to the consumption of controlled beverages. We bowled four games. Bad day all around, we managed only twelve strikes be Full Text

Saddam Hussein was hanged by the neck until dead. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Or if you prefer William F Buckley put it a little more nicely in his AM piece today:

Bush gave a speech following the recent illegal alien crackdown at a meat packing plant. Bush is very pro-amnesty on humanitarian grounds so he took this chance to stump for legalization. His argument is that illegality begets illegality. Because those Full Text

I got stuck in Philly again. This time it was for five hours due to an instrument failure or as the gate guy explained "one of the things the pilots need to use to fly the plane is broken." Thanks for the update boss but it is 2:10pm and the board still Full Text

Slate brings us The N-Word where the N stands for "Nazi." The article is a lament that Nazi analogies are verboten in public because, well, it is so apt to compare Bush to Hitler. Like first time voters in the 2004 election the author alone sees herself Full Text
