A GOOD DAY
The GOP picked up two Southern governorships overnight, while today Howard Dean retreats from his perfectly defensible point about reaching out to white Southern men. The Dems are carping to their doom, and have once again looked a a third of the nation and told it to go to hell. Good luck picking up a single Southern state next year, Dems.
CBS killed its agitprop anti-Reagan movie, moving it to Showtime because, in CBS' own words, the movie was inaccurate. I'd be less charitable, and characterize it as a character assault on a man no longer able to defend himself. In an age where, thanks to our collapsing educational system the average American gets their understanding of history from mass media, CBS' decision to bankroll and run that movie was an obvious attempt at re-writing history. They've been called on it, and they caved on it. Good.
But saving the best for last, President Bush has signed the Partial Birth Abortion ban. I worried in the back of my mind that he'd find a way to betray social cons on this, but I was wrong to worry about that.
A good day, indeed.
