Better Late than Never

All of these links lead to commentaries that are a few weeks old, but they're interesting and still worth your time if you missed them.

The Media Research Center presents a long list of unbelievably biased quotes by Dan Rather.

Mark Steyn discusses recent developments in the Middle East. Here's my favorite paragraph:

Four-time Egyptian election winner - and with 90 per cent of the vote! - President Mubarak announced that next polling day he wouldn't mind an opponent. Ordering his stenographer to change the constitution to permit the first multi-choice presidential elections in Egyptian history, His Excellency said the country would benefit from "more freedom and democracy". The state-run TV network hailed the president's speech as a "historical decision in the nation's 7,000-year-old march toward democracy". After 7,000 years on the march, they're barely out of the parking lot, so Mubarak's move is, as they say, a step in the right direction.


John Hinderaker writes about Justice Kennedy getting lost on his way to the Constitution.

Michael Barone takes a look at presidential history in 72 year increments.

Senator Robert Byrd apparently forgot about his position on Senate rules changes when he compared the GOP to the Nazis for considering such a change in order to end obstruction by the minority.
