Bush Looks into the Mirror

Apostropher predicts a rough future for Bush:

Bush and bin Laden are both fundamentalists staring across a theological divide at one another, perfectly willing to sacrifice both their own people and each other’s because their god has told them to do so. If there is a Hell, they will be roommates in their own private Sartrean eternity where they can fight each other hand-to-hand.

Real Tort Reform

Dwight Meredith presents ways to reduce, if not eliminate, frivolous medical malpractice suits. And he suggests that the lack of focus on actually eliminating frivolous actions means the administration really wants something else:

The disparity between its rhetoric and its policy proposals suggests that curbing frivolous suits is less important to the administration than protecting insurance companies from having to pay full compensation to seriously injured victims of negligence.
