Comment of the Day -- Friday, September 25th:

Reader rrpjr on W. James Antle, III's Dukakis the Great

Dukakis taught at my college. He was indeed a decent guy, a good egghead. But he had nothing to do with the "Massachusetts Miracle," which was the result of Reagan's infusion of defense industry money along the 128 beltway and Mayor Kevin White's brilliant if ruthless redevelopment schemes in Boston. Dukakis was the clueless beneficiary. That he conned the Democratic Party into thinking otherwise, or that they allowed themselves to be conned, is just another example of liberal unfitness for power.

What to Watch For:

  • Rev. Al Sharpton to host WWE's "Monday Night Raw."
  • Congress closed for Yom Kippur.

Game of the Day:

Monday Night Football: Carolina at Dallas, 8:30 PM, Cowboys Stadium, Arlington TX, ESPN.

Friday's Best: 

Reason.tv on the drug wars:

Yeah, sure; that's why Clinton got re-elected.
That's why his wife is SecState.
