Argue By Invective

I am currently re-reading “South Park Republicans” by Brian C. Anderson, and I ran across an interesting phrase. We have all heard the one about ad hominem attacks, and demagoguery. But this one is pretty good by itself. From Chapter 2″ “…A sympathetic old-media regime has allowed liberals to get away with this tendency to […]

Layoffs: An Interesting Take

While is was wandering around the Internet(s), searching for a transcript on Ramsey Clark, regarding his comments about Saddam not being able to get a fair trial, which is something (a fair trial, that is) that could have happened while Saddam was in charge, I ran across an interesting Washington Post piece, dated Nov 6, […]
