The writer cheers up Republicans by noting that the
election could have gone worse
Items by Jon Margolis
The writer surveys the increasing number of attack ads as
election day nears, and offers some advice
The so-called "character issue" in politics – often
defined as voting for the person you’d most like to have a
beer with – is absurd for many reasons...
Worried about falling poll numbers, some Republicans, led
by Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, are resisting some of the
Bush administration’s more far-reaching attacks on
environmental protection
The writer thinks he knows why Gale Norton quit
If outgoing Interior Secretary Gale Norton didn’t
receive a push out the door, she certainly deserved one after her
involvement in the sleazy Jack Abramoff scandal
The Democratic bloggers on the netroots seem to be prone
to wildly optimistic self-delusion – and then again, maybe
they’re not so crazy after all
The Set America Free Coalition is a new organization that
brings together liberals and conservatives to try to reduce
America’s dependency on imported fossil fuels
The writer looks behind natural disasters that bedevil our
time
The writer thinks re-election for Richard Pombo
won’t be easy this time
California Republican Rep. Richard Pombo is having a
terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad year
Given the incestuous nature of politics and lobbying in
Washington, D.C., and the corruption inherent in the gambling
industry, the rise of an opportunist like Jack Abramoff was all but
inevitable
Newly confirmed Chief Justice John Roberts may not be the
umpire he claims to be, but he could be worse: a
counter-revolutionary, like Judge Janice Rogers Brown
The new transportation bill makes the day-to-day working
of transportation policy more political than it’s ever been
– and also serves up some amazing helpings of pork
The writer analyzes the recent federal transportation bill
– a classic case of pork distribution
The writer says Democratic candidates are quietly
jockeying for a place on the ticket in 2008
The writer finds the Energy Bill loaded with gifts for
wealthy producers and a kick in the pants for critics
The writer says ultra-conservatives want to roll back many
environmental protections, yet sportsmen haven’t noticed
— yet
Don’t worry so much about what President Bush will
do to the environment; worry instead about the three new justices
he might put on the Supreme Court
The writer says Republican control of Congress and a
docile media give the Bush administration the freedom to push its
agenda
George W. Bush has refused to govern from the center, and
with the Republicans in charge of the government, a mandate from
the voters doesn’t matter
The Bush administration needs to start dealing with global
climate change, and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger may help
to point the way
The writer says it’s no surprise that Republicans
press every advantage
Democrats can learn a thing or two from the way Bush and
the conservative Republicans are using political power
As Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles comes under
scrutiny for conflict of interest, larger questions arise about the
Bush administration’s "ideology-dishonesty nexus"
In these duct-tape, Code Orange days, only a small
political elite seems to be keeping an eye on the
environment.
The Bush administrations' push to drill and drill yet more
in the West is likely to have surprising consequences, arousing
even some Republicans to protest.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., is in hot
water over his attempt to appeal-proof a controversial thinning
project in his home state, but the situation is more complicated
than his gleeful Republican opponents admit.
Congress spends little time examining military requests
before giving the OK, even when it comes to training in areas that
affect wildlife or destroy ecosystems.
