By Dave Andrusko Each day I check various “this is what happened today in history” sites.

Margaret Sullivan, recently “Public Editor” (i.e., ombudsman ) for the New York Times, wrote her first column today as the Washington Post’s “Media Columnist.” We talk about her first column elsewhere today.

National Right to Life President and PLP Host Carol Tobias picks the narrative in the summer of 1990 which saw two unlikely occurrences.

Continue reading "What’s airing on Pro-Life Perspective Today? “Abortion in America, Part 5: 1990-1992”"By Dave Andrusko With the stakes raised by the Supreme Court’s decision to review ObamaCare so high, it’s not surprising that a law that is as all-embracing as it is unpopular should find proponents and opponents scrutinizing the justices for any hint they would be less than impartial. However since there is little or no …
Continue reading "ObamaCare & Recusal"By Dave Andrusko For those too young to remember, at National Review online today you’ll find “the men who shepherded [Supreme Court Justice Clarence] Thomas through confirmation reflect on the Anita Hill hearings 20 years later.” Take it from me—who IS old enough to remember—these reminiscences are riveting.
