Bret Stephens on conflicting conspiracy theories.

This made me laugh. A typical quick-thinking cheap shot, and really rather funny. Even funnier is how seriously Kerry's spokesman seems to have taken it, and the awful time he seemed to have trying to make a joke in return.

…and people thought kids only drink when they get to college…

Patrick S. Lasswell on failed culture.

The more I read by Christopher Hitchens, the more I like the man.

Kerry is hoping that an end to negative ads will not drive away any further voters — probably a good tactic, as the voters less likely to show up at polls are Democrats.
Also amusing:
“Kerry said America's middle classes had suffered from the huge tax cuts that Bush had presided over and which Democrats say mainly benefit the most wealthy.”
I'm sure the middle class is CONSTANTLY complaining about paying less in taxes. Even if other people are benefitting as well.

Quite a good article interviewing Christopher Hitchens.

Australia and the Madrid effect.

Interesting. Not suprising in any way, but interesting.
