Honestly, I hope this becomes a huge media issue and the Obama campaign picks up on it.

That was awesome

Brilliant

Leo, PLEASE consider writing your own political column- you seem more in touch with the "Real World Conservatives" than any of the faces/voices/bloggonauts I've seen anywhere.

I'll second that. I get a lot more from his posts than many a talking head out in the media.

It looks like Palin's got as firm a grasp on the economy as McCain does.

But hey, perhaps we should just be happy she didn't try to distract us by mentioning Iraq.

Newsweek debunking many Palin myths, even some discussed here.

I could be wrong, but doesn't the Buchanan response simply repeat what Palin said on the subject? Maybe that's the best answer we can get. (And I know you wouldn't like it if she wore an Ahmadinejad button if he ever visited Washington.)

Also, I'm not sure that the response to the librarian issue is satisfactory. Perhaps our board librarians can tell us if getting asked such questions by one's mayor or university president is a sad reality of the job. Plus, after continuing in her job, the librarian was fired. Not convinced on that one.

I'm not a librarian but I voted on a tenure issue for the librarians at the University of Wisconsin and also sat on a review board which reinstated a fired librarian. At many university libraries, librarians can earn tenure, even though they mostly do not teach. Tenure is a license to tell the truth. Librarians need tenure to allow them to do their job, which, in part, is to put controversial materials on the shelves.

Tenure can also be a license to be lazy and do nothing. I had some tenured professors who thought that it was a license for academic ineptitude and/or dishonesty.

Depends on the individual.
