He's right on this weird issue. Still hard right on most things, especially civil rights. This is not exactly a native rights issue.

The Republicans blame it all on the Bork nomination. Bork's record favoring poll taxes, literacy tests, and opposition to the unenumerated right to privacy, not to mention his gleeful execution of...

Many sailors have learned the low-light vision trick of looking out the corner of the eye due to greater concentration of rods for periferal vision. This can be used to advantage for rowing even in...

The reason I called the "selfish gene" a metaphor is two-fold: Not just a gene, but a combination; and there are countervailing genes that incline us to community, self-sacrifice, empathy, and all...

There is no filibuster in the constitution. The Federalist assures that the Senate runs on simple majority except for a few constitutionally named matters. The old "talking filibuster" was...

"Pond scum" is a problematic metaphor but it's evocative and it's not unusual for a idiomatic expression to fail literalist exegesis.

Some years back Dad, my sister, and I went to DC to watch my brother argue before the Supreme Court to exclude his accused bank robber's confession. I had to promise my brother most solemnly not to...

Justice Thomas wants to "revisit" cases that like Roe v. Wade relied on the 14th amendment. Does that mean he'll "revisit" Loving v. Virginia?

Good idea if constitutional. But it appears to cramp the constitution's Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.

Norman Mailer's first novel employed generous use of our favorite bannable noun/verb. The publisher changed all the entries to "fug" or "fugging". So when Dorothy Parker met Mailer she said, "So...

Been hearing about this. A wilder version, as reported by my drought plagued California sister, is dry feeling air leaving dew on pine needles.

Great PSA.

Brilliant.

Yep. A big part of the job. Time spent fundraising is a bigger part for senators and representatives.

Love it.

My live-aboard life was respectable - on a mooring (town sticker and all) in summer, at a dock winter, boat documented, all clean and orderly even when doing major work.
