Today, we drove up to New Hampshire for a pig-roast with Representative Paul Hodes, who is running for U.S. Senate. It was a special pig roast and jamfest, or perhaps a Hodes-down for bloggers. We live in Connecticut where we have our own hotly contested U.S. Senate race going on, but I've got lots of good friends who are bloggers up in New Hampshire and I always enjoy heading up to talk democracy...

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin again turned to his usual labeling of the ideological split on the Supreme Court on Monday’s American Morning. Toobin labeled Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts “very conservative” three times, as opposed to the mere “liberal” justices on the Court. The analyst also bizarrely claimed that the “liberal side” of the body...

Mark (H.), I actually thought the New York Times did a decent job Sunday morning (considering), except for one glaring reality: the issue of tone and signs. The third paragraph of the report explains: But as they sang verse after verse of patriotic hymns like “God Bless America,” sharp words of profane and political criticism were aimed at Mr. Obama and Congress. And before you click onto...

A good time was has last night at AEI kicking around Sam Tanenhaus and his new book The Death of Conservatism . Sam acquired a lot of street cred with conservatives for his magnificent biography of Whittaker Chambers a decade ago, and I remember him telling Brian Lamb on Booknotes at the time that he considered himself a "chastened liberal." It is tempting to say that with Death , he has...

With the legislature on recess, the state's political columnists didn't have much to report this morning. Tom Fahey's lead is about the commission slated to study expanded gambling, while Landrigan calls Representative Carol Shea-Porter a tea bagger. He also uses the term "unhinged" to describe what she said about protesters at her "town hall meetings" The irony is, of course, that...

Powerline has a few thoughts on Ted Kennedy's most important legacy, for better or for worse: his destruction of highly qualified Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork and the subsequent replacement of Bork with Anthony Kennedy. This likely led to the nomination of liberal justice David Souter by George H.W. Bush, as well as the attempted character assassination of Clarence Thomas. On another note, I find...
