If ... you must 09/03/2007
If you haven't read Don Surber's Forgetting the actual victim; you must.
The campaign for the driver of the getaway car was successful and his sentence was commuted. The general point still holds. People who agitate for the lives of murderers usually do so to the exclusion of the victim.
If you haven't read Great Moments in Self Pity at Maryland Conservatarian; you must.
He uses the death of Richard Jewell to contrast someone who suffered from real injustice with someone who only sees himself as persecuted. It's worth noting that the obituary of Richard Jewell in the Washington Post was a tactless hit piece, bringing in every insult people tossed his way. The NY Times obituary was much better, focusing on a man who, when the need arose, was a hero.
If you haven't read Five Down at Futility Closet; you must.
Can you give away secrets if you don't know that they're secrets?
If you haven't read Bound for Glory at Big Lizards; you must.
You think you've seen the end of politicization in Washington with the resignation of Alberto Gonzales?
If you haven't read Gonzales Quits Bush Appoints Rove at ScrappleFace; you must.
If you haven't read Outside the Beltway's The Past is a foreign economy; you must.
For contrast read Greenness and its discontents. For all the efforts we make as a society to reduce pollution, there's often little acknowledgment that pollution is the price we pay for progress.
If you haven't read Bookshelf: Prince of Darkness at Contentions; you must.
I understand the praise of Novak, but only to a degree. Take the first item in this recent column. Do I believe that some Democratic politicians might worry that Hillary, if she's nominated will drag down other Democrats? Yes. Do I believe that it's a significant number? No. Because as unpopular as Hillary might be, it will be a rare state where her presence on the presidential ticket will affect local races. Sure more Republicans might come to vote against her, but I can't believe that she will be all that effective as a bogeyman.
If you haven't read Beldar Blog's Sen. Kerry permits last statute of limitations for defamation to lapse ...; you must.
It's an interesting observation, It's just not a conclusive proof that Sen. Kerry is scared to bring the suit.
If you haven't seen Psychedelic Murmur or Criss Cross at Not Quite Perfect ; you must.
If you haven't read Hamas growing into role as heavy at Daled Amos; you must.
If you haven't read PalArabs hate human rights organizations too at Elder of Ziyon; you must.
If you haven't read Hamas shows that it believes in freedom for, well, Hamas at Yourish; you must.
