Globe
Revels in Rush Limbaugh's Illness, Takes a Crack at God
The
Boston Globe is relishing the fact that Rush Limbaugh has a serious
problem with his hearing that has made him almost deaf. It took
a swipe at God at the same time.
If
anyone has ever doubted the deep anger that lies within the bosom
of the Editor of the Editorial Page, Renee Loth, and the other radical
feminists that control the Globe, this frivolity about the misfortunes
of another should put that doubt to rest forever.
It
printed a nasty letter last month and put this headline on it, "Rush's
deaf ear."
The
letter said: "If many god-fearing conservatives believe that
their omnipotent Lord does everything for a reason, then perhaps
Rush Limbaugh's deafness is a direct result of his turning a deaf
ear to all who disagree with his own views. /s/ Gary Smiley, Cambridge."
Is
Dr. William Pollack Closing Down?
Although
the officials at Harvard Medical School have refused to recant the
press release of 1998 which declared a "national emergency"
and called for "major social reform" of boys, their Dr.
William Pollack has apparently abandoned his website on which he
posted his travels and appearances. He has not posted anything new
since May. That was when we published our story which showed that
Pollack's research was seriously flawed, perhaps fraudulent.
Pollack's
Nemesis Publishes Book
The
professor who told us he wondered "how much of his interviews
Pollack made up," has just published his own book to rave reviews.
He is Howard Schwartz, Oakland University. The book, published by
Praeger, is titled, The Revolt of the Primitive: An Inquiry into
the Roots of Political Correctness. Maybe we should donate a truckload
of books to Harvard.
ACLU's
Designee on Appeals Court Makes 'Common Sense' Look Difficult; Harry
Stewart Dumped On Again
You
have to hand it to the Appeals Court. They can make common sense
look difficult and mush it into page after page of arcane, boring,
legal mumbo jumbo.
Even
though Harry Stewart's six-year-old boy was desperate to go to the
bathroom and Stewart honked the horn for ten minutes in an attempt
to get the mother to open the heavy outer door to the vestibule
of her apartment house, he broke the law when he exited his car
and opened the outside door for the boy, they opined. What should
he have done to be sure the boy arrived home safely? Driven away
and left him? What would they have charged him with then? Should
he take a lawyer with him every time he visits with his kid?
Judge
Mel Greenberg, who used to be head of the ACLU in Massachusetts,
didn't worry about practical things like that. He admitted that
there were two errors in the trial, but the errors were "harmless,"
said the judge. (They weren't "harmless" to Stewart.)
Does
Greenberg know that Judge Eileen Shaevel completely exonerated Stewart
of all charges earlier this year when his ex-wife sought a permanent
restraining order? (Greenberg can do his research in our May 2001
issue or on our website.) That judge said, "Harold was convicted
on a technical violation of the restraining order..." But old
Mel showed that he is a law and order man. After all, the ACLU helps
only strange people like Mel's friends with their Constitutional
rights, not ordinary guys like Stewart.
Federal
Aid Helps a Lot
We're
still singing the praises of Tip O'Neill and Joe Moakley for getting
us billions of dollars in federal money to pay for the "Big
Dig." It certainly is nice to get all that money for free.
But
those in the western suburbs are just discovering that it wasn't
free after all. They're going to pay for Boston's toy. The turnpike
has released documents showing that we are going to pay off some
of the bonds for the big dig by slowly raising the cost of driving
from 128 into the city to $6 each way by the year 2038. It will
cost $9 to use the Ted Williams tunnel.
Wherever
you are, Tip and Joe, thanks for the free Central Artery.
The
Truth About Clarence Thomas
The
Boston Globe has finally revealed the truth about Clarence Thomas.
It told us in a large, breathless story on the second page of the
"A" section, complete with picture, that Clarence Thomas
discussed Roe v. Wade with at least three people before his confirmation
hearings.
Well
. . . at least two people. The first person, who was a lawyer who
worked with Thomas years ago in the Missouri attorney general's
office, said that Thomas was against abortion, but he couldn't remember
anything else.
The
other two were friends. One, a lawyer, said, "I know we discussed
it," but he couldn't give any details other than to say that
Thomas was less strident than he. The other friend said that Thomas
would talk about where the Supreme Court erred on some of its decisions.
This
all contradicts what he told the Senate, according to the Globe,
which was that he never debated the issue.
But
the Globe missed an important point. It's difficult to know how
they did so. Everyone in Washington is all excited about it. It
is rumored that Thomas also talked about the case three different
times with his wife.
Concord
Man Battles With Despotic Police Chief
Alec
Costerus got a helping hand last month in his battle to get a gun
license from his despotic police chief in Concord. At the end of
September, Costerus filed a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the First Circuit. He doesn't expect any help from that liberal
court. He only hopes it is a step to having his case heard by the
U.S. Supreme Court. He is looking for an overhaul of the manner
in which gun licenses are handled in Massachusetts so that the decision
is no longer at the whim of the local police chief.
He
got unexpected help last month when the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit held that the U.S. Constitution does extend the
right to own a gun to each individual citizen and not just to the
state militia.
Rich
Lawyers Help Poor by Dancing
The
rich lawyers at the Boston Bar Association have a great way to help
the poor. They don't go to court and defend them. They go to the
Westin Hotel at Copley Place in a tuxedo and have a ball and then
listen to the rich, liberal wife of our Senator John Kerry. The
poor aren't admitted, however. But it doesn't matter because the
poor aren't looking to do business with the Senator or his rich
wife, who is a member of the Heinz ketchup people. This year's "John
and Abigail Adams Benefit Ball" will be on November 9. If you
wish to talk to the Senator, be sure to arrive at 7 p.m. for the
reception. Dinner will be at 8 p.m. If you happen to be a male lawyer,
you might wonder why you're helping to raise money for lawyers who
are pummeling the men in the state. If you're a woman who likes
men, you might ponder the same question.
