Standards of Decency: May 2005
http://standardsofdecency.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Unanimous Supreme Court overturns Andersen conviction - May. 31, 2005. Unanimous Supreme Court overturns Andersen conviction - May. 31, 2005. How come an LLP comes through there isn't one dissent. Did the prosecutor (or whoever's job it was the prep the jury about "convey the requisite consciousness of wrongdoing." ) screw up so bad that an array of 9 people with vastly differing views of the law while find some common ground in how bad this case was handled? That's not a good idea...

Standards of Decency: September 2005
http://standardsofdecency.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 23, 2005. Op-Ed of the Week (9/23/05). Assuming Edwards' Two Americas concept is what he really believes, and not just a very well-written speech delivered by a good lawyer, this is a good point. Could poverty be the major theme in 2008, instead of defense or gay marriage? Edwards Got It Right About Poverty. Edwards got it right about poverty. September 20, 2005. IN ANY COLLECTION of Americans who have earned the right to say I told you so, John Edwards should make every short list.

Standards of Decency: October 2005

Sunday, October 30, 2005. China's forthcoming environmental catastrophe. On other forums that I visit, I rarely post much about environmental catastrophes and conservation concerns - particularly when compared to my posting rate on evolution issues! The reason: the evolution issue is an interesting sociological issue in addition to the wrangling over science (and a lack thereof). With the environment, everyone except the "environmental creationist" Bjorn Lomborg. Why should you care about China's air?

Standards of Decency: February 2006
http://standardsofdecency.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 17, 2006. There were a couple of good op-eds this week on the ever-rising discontent from "real" conservatives over Bush's White House. The best is from the witty and very conservative Jonah Goldberg, who has been railing against Bush's not-so-traditionally-conservative economic policies for some time. Now. Refers to more recent issues. But I thought this piece. Bridging the Divide on Abortion. By E J. Dionne Jr. Tuesday, February 14, 2006. But there is a new argument on abortion that ma...

Monday, April 25, 2005. Cameron Diaz is a racist. So says Andrew Stuttaford of the National Review. What offensive, bigoted comments did she make? You might ask. Luckily, Mr. Stuttaford recorded her disgusting hate speech:. All sarcasm aside, I cannot imagine what prompted Mr. Stuttaford to think these comments by Ms. Diaz are offensive. They were sincere at best, and at worst, innocently diplomatic. I have no idea which sacred conservative principle Ms. Diaz violated, except maybe a ...And as, for those...
