Alderman lays an egg in opposing Chick-fil-A
Change of SubjectHey, it's fine by me if the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain gets City Council approval to build a second Chicago store. That would simply double the number of Chick-fil-A restaurants in the city for me to boycott. Because what's not fine...... -
Give Jesse Jr. a break
Along with everyone else, I think the voters of Jesse Jackson Jr.'s district are entitled to know a lot more about what's wrong with him and what his prospects are. But I don't think it's fair to blame him for the lack of information, and I don't think...Tags: Jesse Jackson

Private sector doing fine?
President Obama's remark today that "the private sector is doing fine" may qualify as the most boneheaded thing he's ever said. The White House quickly realized as much in more or less retracting the statement. I'm sure Obama is acutely aware that the...Tags: White House, Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, Republican Party, Barack Obama

U.S. troops, Afghan corpses
It would be irresponsible to make too much of the photos of American troops posing with dead Afghan insurgents published today in the Los Angeles Times. This is not My Lai or even Abu Ghraib. The killings themselves, as far as we know, were legitimate. In...Tags: Adam Smith, Los Angeles Times, The Pentagon, Unrest, Conflicts and War

Trayvon Martin and the 'stand your ground' law
In the uproar over the killing of Trayvon Martin, two guilty parties have been identified: George Zimmerman and Florida's "stand your ground" law. I have no attachment to Zimmerman. But having defended the law when it was passed in 2005, I think it has...Tags: Judges, Trayvon Martin, Crime, Law and Justice, The New York Times, Justice System

Santorum: Wrong on pornography
I can understand if Rick Santorum wants to prosecute pornographers on the grounds that explicit fare encourages non-marital sex, promotes the use of birth control or saps vital fluids. I would think he's off-base, but he'd at least have a plausible case....Tags: Pornography
