...Bush Administration has become. The President chose to campaign for two of the more skeevy candidates offered by the Republicans this year, the adulterous Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood and the macaca-stained Virginia Senator George Allen. One might legitimately ask, Why on earth would he do that? The answer, I suspect, is twofold. Bush, ever antsy, was desperate to campaign somewhere, hoping to replicate his stunning late-campaign successes on the stump in 2002 and 2004. But there aren't too many Republicans in the really hot races-that is, races that will be decided by moderate voters-who want...
...answer is not to return to religion and Protestant values. No matter how much some conservatives may wish it, that era is over. William F. Buckley, still shamelessly venerated by the conservative establishment, opposed meritocratic admissions for racial and ethnic minorities at Yale in 1967 when he ran a guerilla campaign to obtain a seat on the Yale Corporation (he lost). Being a minority, I, like many others, am indebted to the liberal revolution...

...comes the moment of truth. Standing in his refurbished tasting room, he picks up a glass of the 2005 vintage, sniffs, sips and sucks the wine noisily through his teeth before spitting it out into a gleaming ceramic basin. He looks up quizzically, but he already knows the answer. It's good. It's so good, in fact, that long before he'll start to bottle it, the wine is already being traded in Bordeaux for more than €50 per bottle. That's double the price his 2004 wine fetched, and 75% higher than the spectacular 2000 vintage...
