A deadly organ-donor system by Jeff Jacoby RIGHT ON THE HEELS of the recent news that Apple CEO Steve Jobs underwent a liver transplant came the speculation that he had somehow gamed the organ donation system in order to jump to the head of the waiting list.

Jeff Jacoby - No climate debate? Yes, there is - The Boston Globe Hush, says Obama. Don’t ask such questions. “There is no longer a debate about whether carbon pollution is placing our planet in jeopardy,’’ he declared Saturday. “It’s happening.’’ No debate? The debate over global warming is more robust than it has been in years, and not...

Jeff Jacoby once again rounds up whatever climate-change debunkery he finds floating in the conservative flotsam, and churns out a column scoffing at Al Gore. This should keep him in the good graces and high click-throughs in the right-wing blogosphere, but earns him another whacking from my little blog. To Jacoby's credit, he at least leaves out the current fave theory of the...

Because the man's predictably racist , transphobic , and otherwise thoughtless. Jacoby's column today suggests that the recent Waxman-Markey environmental protection act is a bad idea, because there is some doubt that global warming is as influenced by man's actions as it would seem. Climate change may not be a crisis of the proportions that some have suggested. But we clearly have a finite...

Jeff Jacoby: IN HIS WEEKLY address on Saturday, President Obama saluted the House of Representatives for passing Waxman-Markey , the gargantuan energy-rationing bill that would amount to the largest tax increase in the nation’s history.

Here is Jeff Jacoby writing for the Boston Globe : In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in January 2008, [Obama] calmly explained how cap-and-trade - the carbon-dioxide rationing scheme that is at the heart of Waxman-Markey - would work: "Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system,...
