Liberal Outrage

It doesn't even matter what the topic is

Ezra Klein, not exactly a raging liberal:

I'd say the key comment is Kerry's admission that "we believe we have compromised significantly, and we're prepared to compromise further." They should engrave that on the dome of the United States Capitol.

Farce

Can we just drop the Supreme Court nominee hearings?

SPECTER: I will put into the record what the justices have had to say. I've questioned almost everybody about this subject, and I've had the opportunity to question all of the people on the court now.

Nonetheless, Greene won last night's Democratic primary, beating Vic Rawl, a judge who served in the South Carolina legislature for four terms. A judge who had gathered $186,000 for the campaign.

Arizona is a terrible place

Link:

A group of artists has been asked to lighten the faces of children depicted in a giant public mural at a Prescott school. The project's leader says he was ordered to lighten the skin tone after complaints about the children's ethnicity ....
R.E. Wall, director of Prescott's Downtown Mural Project, said he and other artists were subjected to slurs from motorists as they worked on the painting at one of the town's most prominent intersections.
"We consistently, for two months, had people shouting racial slander from their cars," Wall said. "We had children painting with us, and here come these yells of (epithet for Blacks) and (epithet for Hispanics)."
