| great Dahlia Lithwick explains why Democrats should not vote for Hans von Spakovsky, just as he would prefer that they not vote for anything else:Von Spakovsky currently sits on the FEC as a result of a recess appointment made by President Bush in January of 2006. Before that he served as counsel to the assistant attorney general in the Civil |

| In the building of free societies, every day feels like a mess, but every year is a step forward. Yes, an extraordinarily ambitious plan (led by a Secretary of Defense committed to proving theories about warfare that would use as few troops as possible) to depose the government of a society riven by a complex web of sectarian conflicts, |

| Please never try to write satire in another voice ever again. I've been thinking for a while at picking some of the Pulitzer-winning columns from 1999 at random and seeing just how debased the standards of whoever votes for those awards are. But I'm not sure I have the stomach for it. |

At the trial, he was sentenced to life plus 20 years. When Huckabee became governor, DuMond was still in an apparently hopeless situation, though |

| Molly Ivors does a good job with the latest bit of vacuous misogyny from Maureen Dowd, whose presence on a major op-ed page remains and will always be an absolute disgrace. A couple more points are worth emphasizing. First, none of this has the slightest shred of substantive significance; the idea (also now being propounded by Slate) that |

| Following up on the fine post of his colleague, Bob Herbert tees off (implicitly) on David Brooks's attempts to whitewash Reagan's awful record on civil rights and use of rhetorical code to appeal to the white supremacists whose votes were crucial to the post-CRA partisan realignment:Reagan was the first presidential candidate ever to appear at |

Fortunately, it's been taken care of by Steve:Is any of this true? I don't know, but let's assume for the sake of argument that it is. What Dowd is saying is that if a woman tries to psych |

Somerby -- who also correctly points out "the rule of this upper-class clan: Big Dem women are really men. And Big Dem men are just women," sums up the Post's coverage of several candidates:1.
