Don't you think it'd be awesome if they did that with Michael Jackson, showing him as a black guy?... 2005-06-15T08:21:48-05:00 http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_06_12_corner-archive.asp#066177 K. J. Lopez: Planned Parenthood is on the attack in California, against the parental-notification initiative on the upcoming November special-election ballot.

Lopez: yelling stop--and puts you on another road, sometimes a u-turn, sometimes just a different road. But you get somewhere.

Miller: Bush's speech last night was okay -- K Lo excerpts it below -- but one line condemning Democratic obstructionism really grated: "It is the philosophy of the stop sign, the agenda of the roadblock, and our country and our children deserve better." Umm, "the philosophy of the stop sign" sounds... 2005-06-15T07:38:34-05:00 http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_06_12_corner-archive.asp#066172 K. J. Lopez: In the LATimes today: Who knew the Senate was so cheeky? On Monday, a mere three weeks after the centrist, bipartisan Gang of 14 agreed, ever so proudly, to save the institution's fabled filibuster, senators passed a resolution apologizing for the chamber's failure to enact anti-lynching legislation. Astonishingly, Senate Resolution... 2005-06-15T07:27:22-05:00 http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_06_12_corner-archive.asp#066171 K. J. Lopez: The president offers Democrats some advice: Members of the other party have worked with us to achieve important reforms on some issues. Yet, too often, their leadership prefers to block the ideas of others. We hear 'no' to making tax relief permanent. We hear "no" to Social Security reform. We... 2005-06-15T06:58:28-05:00 http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_06_12_corner-archive.asp#066170 K. J.

Well, apparently the ads had performance problems. The NY Post reports that GlaxoSmithKline/Schering-Plough, the, ah, firm that markets Levitra in the U.S., are changing... 2005-06-15T06:31:01-05:00 http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_06_12_corner-archive.asp#066164 K.

The Derbs are going to England in August. We want to take a side trip to France to (a) see Paris, and (b) visit friends in Normandy.

Chait's getting all huffy over something silly I think. But you don't mention whether or not you agree w/ Human Events. Chait attacks Human Events ideas.
