August Vacation? After a whole month, there’s still no reply from the Obama campaign
on his tort reform position. However, Jeff Berkowitz interviewed Obama’s former
opponent, Jack Ryan, in May and has the transcript comparing their tort reform
positions here.

David Feige has a thoughtful column at Slate: “Public Offenders:
Why criminals in Massachusetts are getting out of jail free.” He says only
a comprehensive public defender system, not one relying so heavily on
assigned counsel will provide adequate service. We agree (via Talk Left – hot comments!).

Quips for Kerry? I think supporter(s) of John Kerry (such as the New Dems) should open a
Comment section on a website, where other supporters can leave one-liners, slogans,
capsule arguments, etc., that Kerry might use in this election campaign.
E.g., “Mr. Bush, tell the Russian middle school victims that nuance is just
for girlie men;” or “Shoot Now, Think Later is Not a Foreign Policy or a War Plan, Mr. President.”
Ouch, that Russian comment’s a bit unfair to the Russians, I think, at least at this preliminary stage when all the facts are not yet known. The terrorists didn’t really seem very interested in negotiating a peaceful end. They strapped live bombs to their bodies and also sprayed the entire campus with bombs. The children were suffocating because they refused to open the windows to give them air. They were also dehydrating for lack of water, and many of them were beaten while inside.
