Is the ACLU turning into just another "free speech for the people we
agree with" organization? Wendy Kaminer thinks
so. At Phi Beta Cons, David French agrees
and comments:
In fact, in the arena of student speech (particularly university student speech), it seems that there could and should be left/right consensus on the First Amendment framework. There's just no constitutionally defensible reason to protect the expression of one side of a political/cultural/religious debate while labeling the other side "harassment." If nothing else, there is one compelling reason for the left to embrace free speech on campus: People like me would have to find new jobs.

grapes. Commie bastards…)

We did the Al Gore stuff yesterday. But when an Ann Althouse
post contains a quote like this:
[Gore was] eating like a maniac: I watched him inhale the clam dip at a reception like a man who doesn't know when his next meal will be coming.
… it's pretty much a must-link. Even when the quote is fourth-hand via Maureen Dowd. -
Perhaps this decade's most useful page: the Parody Motivator Generator.
Sensitive souls may want to avert their eyes from my effort, lest they weep.
Y'all can do better! Let's see 'em. (Via GeekPress, of course.)
