I had read an article about this incident at Columbia University, but I hadn’t seen the footage until my brother (who’s living in China, which makes this discussion interesting) sent me the link to the video:
Glenn Reynolds calls them “Brownshirts at Columbia” before quoting this editorial about the affair:
The thugs should be expelled from Columbia [...]

Via Shaun, I see that the Democratic National Committee is supporting the troops. Well, they’re supporting someone’s troops.

Can someone explain to me why our legislators are wasting their time trying to ban online poker? Are there no more pressing problems in this country, that Bill Frist just had to attach this to a defense bill?
I get so sick of stupid nonsense like this, even when it doesn’t affect me [...]

Not Buck Turgidson: “Sen. Hillary Clinton is campaigning with Jim Webb. And while I’m not ready to say it’s a misstep, it’s certainly tapdancing through a minefield.”

I was on the road much of the weekend, so thankfully I was spared most of the Rep. Mark Foley — that “loathesome scumbag” — discussion. Absolutely disgraceful.
Redstate has a couple of fine posts on the matter here (in which we discover that the media may have known about this months ago and chose [...]

President Bush’s poll numbers are up, gas prices are down, and GOP voter intensity is on the rise. It’s still a very bad year to run as a Republican, but it’s not nearly as bad as most Democrats predicted.

Via Jon Henke, a must-read post from Hugh Hewitt:
The national security choice presented by Bush v. Kerry is essentially the same choice as presented by Allen v. Webb, and it is reinforced by secondary issues such as judicial selection and tax rates. Secretary Webb may peel another point or two away from the Bush [...]

I love this analysis by Mark Coffey:
How bad is Air America? So bad that with the opposition party holding both chambers of Congress and the White House (the ideal position for talk radio - being on the opposite side of Clinton made Rush Limbaugh a star), and with voter discontent with the ruling party at [...]

Glenn says that the Clintonistas are freaking out over this upcoming mini-series that shines the light on the Clinton administration’s treatment of terrorism. The best part of the UPI article linked by the Instapundit is all the whining and complaining by Sandy “Classified Documents In My Pants” Berger.
UPI, of course, does not mention the [...]

I don’t know what to make of this, but it’s food for thought, if nothing else:
When Democratic Party leaders “found God in the 2004 exit polls,” as Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. likes to say, no one expected instant results. Many of the party’s early efforts to attract religious voters, after all, were scattershot [...]
