When the entertainers of the Right arent declaring their disgust with President Obama for groveling before foreign potentates, theyre pretending to fear him as a left-wing thug, an exemplar of what they call the Chicago way. – Thomas Frank
What is at stake in the debate over health care is more than the mere crafting of policy. The issue is now the identity of the Democratic Party. – Thomas Frank
Liberal that I am, I support health-care reform on its merits alone. My liberal blood boils, for example, when I read that half of the personal bankruptcies in this country are brought on, in part, by medical expenses. – Thomas Frank
Mr. Obama still has time to reverse course. A great deal depends on it. To fail on health care yet again might well be the Waterloo Republicans dream of. – Thomas Frank
I think theres a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before Ive even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life. – Shalom Harlow
