• “REMOVE DELAY, DAAAAAAMMMMMITTTTT!”

    Two groups are running $100,000 in ads to convince Republicans to ditch DeLay. Two liberal groups.

    Campaign for America’s Future, said to be funded by union thugs, accuses DeLay of exploiting Terri to distract from his problems. They’re running in Houston and New York.

    Public Campaign Action Fund, perhaps the nation’s leading group of anti-Delay freaks, is running an ad urging Republicans in New York, Connecticut and Washington state, if such there be, to “clean up Congress” sans the Majority Leader.

    My fingers are too cramped for anything melodramatic this evening.

  • Mary Cheney is gay.

    I’m sorry to break the news like this, or did JF Kerry beat me to it? Nah, it was never a secret, thus the MTV headline: “Vice President Cheney’s Openly Gay Daughter Gets Her Say.” She’s writing a book for Mary Matalin at Simon and Schuster’s new conservative publishing division.

    I very much like Jayson Javitz’s headline-response at PoliPundit: “Senile, Racist Democrat, a Former KKK Member, Votes Against Female African-American Whom President Bush Nominated for U.S. Secretary of State.” Byrd on Rice. (Actually, he used the AP headline — “Openly Gay Cheney Daughter Writing Memoir” — but they’re all playing the game.)

  • The Earth will Explode.

    The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment has prepared a study for the United Nations which informs us that human beings have already messed up the Earth terribly and we may never recover, and “it is the world’s poorest people who suffer most from ecosystem changes.” The solution? Redistribute the world’s wealth.

    May God save us from ourselves, and I am talking about safety fom the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and such. The effects could be disastrous, stalling, even canceling human progress.

  • Tonight’s music.

    Darius Milhaud. They call him “Modern,” but he died thirty-one years ago.

  • Terri’s case.

    If you’ve found this site via a search engine, looking for an piece on Terri Schindler-Schiavo or those associated with her case, there are plenty of them in here. Scroll down, certainly, and also look in the archive found in the column on the right of the page.
