One of the reasons given for legalizing abortion was so that it could be done by doctors, rather than less qualified practitioners. (Although the Gosnell case revealed that being is physician is no guarantee of quality.) Given that a driving argument behind abortion was to put women in the hands

Continue readingI’ve written before that the IRS’s aggression towards conservative groups and individuals is the worst presidential scandal in American history because it represents the first time a government agency, which falls under the executive’s control, has used its vast power to target people and groups that oppose the administration’s agenda.

Incidentally, if you’re interested in more California lunacy (and remember, as California goes so has gone the nation),

Continue readingThe San Francisco Chronicle has an article that both praises Governor Jerry Brown’s “balanced” budget and notes that California is in desperate financial shape. Clearly, the Chron is lowering expectations in case Brown’s “balanced” budget doesn’t do what it promised. The Chron is wise to keep its readers from getting

Did they have names like Big Kahuna and look like this? “Yo, dude, I’m like going to, you know, like, attack the man. It’ll be, like, totally tubular.” No?

Continue readingA few months ago, I though Elizabeth Emken’s chance of unseating Dianne Feinstein in the Senate was about equal to the Giant’s chance of winning the World Series. I was not optimistic. Today, I believe that both are possible and, indeed, probable. I’ll leave the baseball talk to others, and

Unlike all other voter guides, it’s not only informative (and, indeed, it’s more
