Touchstone Magazine - Mere Comments: Eradicating the Disabled
"I may be slow," this man observed, "but I am not stupid. Does he think that people like me can't understand what he really thinks of us? That we are not really wanted? That it would be a better world if we didn't exist?"

WSJ.com - John McCain's New Gravitas
Faced with a veto threat on his antitorture amendment to the Pentagon budget last week, the former prisoner of war did more than just win 90-9. For a nation weary of war, he crafted a soldier's argument about American honor that won the public endorsement of President Bush's former Secretary of State Colin Powell and moved even arch-rival Sen. Ted Stevens (R., Alaska) to call Mr. McCain's evening floor speech "marvelous."

Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men
There is nothing a woman can do that is so fundamentally self-centered that it won't be met with a cackle of "You go, girl!" from a female somewhere on the planet. It's a way of transforming an essentially selfish act into one of liberation, and thereby protecting it from male criticism.

The boys in the study pine for their fathers. Drexler notes that they share a peculiarly intense fascination with father-son athletes from the world of professional sports, and that they have an outsize interest in superheroes. Those who have ongoing relationships with their "seed daddies" mourn piteously when the men fail to take a fatherly interest in them. A humane assessment of these impulses would be that boys want fathers, but when the world does not mete them out (because of either tragedy or maternal intention), good mothers can ease the pain and do what widows and abandoned women have done throughout time: raise their sons as best they can, often with great success. But this is "You go, girl!" territory, and no quarter can be given to any fact that might suggest the women are slighting their children. None of these boys is exhibiting "father hunger," Drexler reports; it's only natural "to long for what you don't have." Not having a father is a bit like not having a skateboard -- kind of a bummer, but at least you don't have to worry about head injuries. |

WSJ.com - Capital
Engineers, physicists, geologists worked well on individual projects, but the company hadn't a clue how to help them develop the professional sides of their lives. "If you can't manage these people," Mr. Baird decided, "let them manage themselves," recalls Mr. Edmundson. He was ordered to implement the idea.
With no reliable roster to consult, Mr. Edmundson eventually asked people to register themselves as members of one of 20 groups without regard to experience, education or title. Within a month, he had more than 3,000 names.

massdestruction: Evangelical cleric of the radical persuasion
Even after calling for an assassination of a head of state and endagering Americans doing missionary work in Venezuala, as well as causing problems for an already weak State Deptartment, the press still insists on calling Pat Robertson and evangelist while guys like Muqtada al-Sadr are consistently called Radical Clerics.

It is creepy to think that since I was eight years-old, the President of the United States has been named either Clinton or Bush.

Robertson called Chavez 'a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us badly.'
