The Caucasian Card (Vox Verax)

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 02:49:00 GMT

It can be tough being black in America. But the tough stuff builds character. Maybe that's why Barack Obama got this far this fast. Anna Quindlen NEWSWEEK Updated: Aug 9, 2008 Much of America's political conversation is couched in code. And so it was that recently the McCain campaign accused Barack Obama of playing the "race card," two four-letter words that, taken together, trail a wealth...

John McCain and a Series of Tubes (Nobody's Business)

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 04:29:00 GMT

Newsweek's Anna Quindlen, usually a rather wimpy go-along-to-get-along columnist, gets it right (and minces no words) on McCain's dysfunctional relationship with the Internet: When the Republican candidate described himself earlier this year as a computer illiterate who had never gone online, it just made him look odd. And old. Of course, that's not fair. Both my father and my mother-in-law...

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 06:45:00 GMT

... late with this one, but I was reading through Newsweek and came upon an article by columnist Anna Quindlen.

The Least Dangerous Branch (Outside the Beltway)

Fri, 09 May 2008 13:53:31 GMT

Anna Quindlen argues that Supreme Court appointments are the most important choices presidents make. Congress chips away at legislation, then sends some lowest-common-denominator version to the White House, to be signed or vetoed or later redesigned by the next president to take up temporary residence in Washington. But the work of the high court has had vast systemic influence over...

The Least Powerful Branch (Lawyers, Guns and Money)

Tue, 06 May 2008 15:29:00 GMT

Like Josh Patashnik , I'm puzzled by Anna Quindlen's claim that the judiciary is the most powerful branch of the federal government. Patashnik notes the relatively narrow scope of the recent decisions Quindlen cites, which is terms of their impact are obviously dwarfed by, say, the Iraq War or Bush's series of budget-busting upper-class tax cuts, both areas in which the courts...
