But luckily for us chroniclers of same the sheer depth, breath and audacity of the corruption continues to grow at such a pace that tracking its outer edges makes for good (but depressing) copy. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20090702/cm_csm/edetainees csm/20090702/edetainees The Christian Science Monitor opinion Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:00:00 GMT The Christian Science Monitor - Soon after taking up his White House tasks, the idealistic Barack Obama of the 2008 campaign got mugged by the reality of being America's commander in chief. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20090703/cm_thenation/1448486 thenation/20090703/1448486 The Nation opinion Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:47:49 GMT The Nation - The Nation -- Maybe Sarah Palin finally realized that the people who run the Republican party just aren't that into her. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20090703/cm_uc_crmmax/op_1910538 uc/20090703/op_1910538 Michelle Malkin opinion Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:00:00 GMT Michelle Malkin - The White House sure likes to put on a show. Fresh off its joint stage production with ABC News, the Obama administration broadcast another health-care propaganda play this week under the guise of a citizen "town hall." http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20090702/cm_thenation/15448238 thenation/20090702/15448238 The Nation opinion Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:09:17 GMT The Nation - The Nation -- It's not only neocons who desperately need enemies, like Ahmadinejad, to succeed so that they'll have an excuse to bomb bomb bomb Iran, or any place they damn well please. It's also the paleocons and the concons (conspiracy conservatives), or whatever Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit, could be called these days. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20090702/cm_uc_crlelx/op_2410516 uc/20090702/op_2410516 Larry Elder opinion Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:00:00 GMT Larry Elder - "President Barack Obama says that he can pay for his goal to provide health care insurance for every American without it.

In a 5-4 decision handed down on Monday, the court ruled that the city should not have scrapped the test just because black firefighters performed poorly. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20090702/cm_uc_crjcox/op_4510514 uc/20090702/op_4510514 Joe Conason opinion Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:00:00 GMT Joe Conason - If Americans hope to discuss health care, climate change, green economics or public infrastructure with any degree of realism, then the time has come to acknowledge that hearing someone say "a trillion dollars" is no reason to panic. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20090630/cm_uc_crpbux/op_3310478 uc/20090630/op_3310478 Pat Buchanan opinion Tue, 30 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT Pat Buchanan - "You have no notion of the intrigue that goes on in this blessed world of science," wrote Thomas Huxley.

Erwin Knoll, the late editor of The Progressive, used to pin a copy of the Bill of Rights to a tree at the parties he hosted. I'm not hosting any parties, and I'll spare you a virtual posting of the entire Bill of Rights, save for the Fifth Amendment, which merits special attention because Democrats and Republicans seem to have forgotten what it says.
