Why Progressives Should Get the Boot in San Francisco This Electionnew
The "progressives" on San Francisco's Board of Supervisors don't represent a philosophical or ideological movement in any meaningful sense. Rather, they're a political faction, allied around specific, self-centered financial interests, brought to office four years ago on an anti-growth mandate.

Writers Say It's Time to Ride GOP Scalawags Out on a Railnew
My fellow travelers also were writers, whatever their day jobs, and we had trekked over from the Carter Center where the group had celebrated the publishing of a book of their essays, Where We Stand: Voices of Southern Dissent.
