Mary Norton and Wendy Becker — both from the famously underprivileged professional class of college professors — have made substantial progress in their quest to disprove all of those same-sex marriage advocates who swore that judges would not be able to export the marriage policy that they (the judges) had created in Massachusetts. In a…
In his inimitable way, Mark Steyn addresses “the same old 40-year-old guff about ‘overpopulation’: America is one of the most affordable property markets in the Western world. I was amazed to discover, back in the first summer of the Bush presidency, that a three-bedroom air-conditioned house in Crawford, Texas, could be yours for 30,000 bucks…
PROEM I submitted my response to URI student Gabriel Lugo’s hostile musings on American religion to the student paper of his school, The Good 5¢ Cigar, and Lugo (enlisting the help of a cowriter) replied a couple of weeks ago. Herewith, my further response. Cigar readers will have to forgive me; as a humbled father…
Four student journalists from the University of Richmond (no, Rhode Islanders, that’s Richmond, Virginia,) are covering the ’06 Senate race in our little ol’ state at Rhode Island Senate Central: Voices in the 2006 Senate Election.
From Froma Harrop: Another reason for the silence [about addressing population growth] is that population has gotten mixed up in the abortion issue. Some abortion foes insist that that Roe v.

Over in the Corner, Kathryn Jean Lopez takes up the call of pro-Republican conservatives: You’d just be a punk (I’m just borrowing Mona’s reader’s word ) if you actually care about issues like activist judges, abortion (today there is still not a ban on partial-birth abortion, still held up in court), marriage, but stay home…
The comments to my most recent post on same-sex marriage rapidly branched off into discussion of a Westerly Republican politician who is, apparently, homosexual. Having not researched the man for myself, I won’t presume to offer analysis; I’ll merely explain that the initial question posed by a commenter, Bryan, was: “How can a man who…
Over on the Autonomist, Rhode Island blogger D. Alighieri is seeing the reality in Iraq for himself. So far, he’s put up video of his bounce in Jordan and a first impression of Baghdad: Yesterday, a car bomb exploded a few miles from here. I watched the black plume boil towards the sky. This place…
This latest of a string of similar stories from Canada over the past few years ought to be taken into consideration as the individual steps toward Rhode Island’s undemocratic importation of same-sex marriage are taken: In 2003 [the Knights in Port Coquitlam, B.C.] discovered that their hall had been rented by a lesbian couple to…
