If the last seven days have been any indication, the far-right is shaping up to make the 1990s seem quaint -- even erudite by comparison.

7. Isn't afraid of a press conference, sex education, an intellectual, a gay person, stem cell research or as W. called it, "the internets," "3 Shakespeares," or an honest day's work.
Like everyone else in America, I was waiting to see how the match up between Palin and Biden would transpire. Beyond the giddy atmosphere that was bu...
Before he leaves office, will President Bush use his power to pardon to shield the members of his administration from legal action? If so, his pardons will be a last effort to avoid accountability.
