Vintage Stuff
Things not specifically written for this site, but that definitely belong here.

 Mythmakers & Clinton The Liberal
Bill Clinton really is a sign of how far to the right American institutions have lurched--while pilloried as a "socialist," he was actually more conservative, from a policy standpoint, than Bush Sr., his Republican predecessor, and, looking at him generically, his governance would have been regarded by any neutral observer as mainstream conservative Republican right up until he came into office. This is a piece detailing the real Clinton record, written during the 1996 presidential race.

 Mythmakers & Joe Lieberman The Liberal
A piece I wrote some years ago about Brent Bozell's amusing efforts to convert Connecticut's right-wing "Democratic"
Senator Joe Lieberman into a liberal, just after Lieberman had been tapped by Al Gore as his Vice Presidential
candidate in the 2000 election.

 Mythmakers & Al Gore The Liar
Here's a piece written as the 2000 presidential election campaign was winding down, challenging the character
assassination campaign aimed, by the press, the Republican party, and, most importantly, the Media Research Center,
at then-Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore. It's less an article than a catalog of sins, but it
said something that needed saying, and it's worth reprinting here.

 Mythmakers & Al Gore The Liar: A Follow-Up
As it says, a short follow-up to the above article, covering the use, by conservative writers, of lies about Al Gore. Meant to be read after the original article.
 

THE IRAQ PAPERS
These article began life as a series of untitled posts to various boards and groups I frequented over the years. I created them because, whenever the subject of Iraq came up, I so often found myself covering the same ground. Over time, they became an evolving compendium of information on the Bush administration's Iraq policy. For quickie knock-off message board posts that condense this much information, they're not bad. I gave them the name "The Iraqi Papers" because it makes them sound more important than "A Whole Buncha' Message Board Posts On Iraq."
