Party of Three

6.4.08 @ 12:01AM

Conservative company. 1984 in 2008. The crushing burden of carbon caps. Plus more.

p> JUMPING SHIP br> Re: W. James Antle III’s Third Partying : /p> p>This year will be my first election where I vote for a third party. The problem with continuously voting for the “lesser of two evils” is that eventually the “lesser of two evils” becomes more evil than the evil you were voting against previously. br> — Lance Stiles br> GOP No More /p>

I’m aware that Halley’s Comet returns every 76 years, but I’ve never heard of “Hayley’s” comet. Does this mean we’re due for a rerun of The Parent Trap? Couldn’t be any sappier than the original version.

p>Like Mr. Antle, I get to waste a vote routinely — in my case, every two years, by voting against our congressman whose middle name is Jim. But at least we kept Baghdad Jim under 80 percent last time! That’s pretty heady stuff for our minuscule band of Seattle conservatives. br> — Bob Vogler

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

By Robert H. Bork

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
Chuck McHagel

The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?
The Bush Crack-Up

By Brit Hume

Was the President done in by the economy, or by the politics of the economy?
