Trash talk
Fed up with partisan name-calling? Tired of the low level of debate? Well, cheer up. It's been worse.
Martin Dyckman: Byrd's flock: Why did they deal with it? TALLAHASSEE - They really showed him, didn't they? After two years of putting up with the escalating tyranny of Speaker Johnnie Byrd, this is what some of the 81 House Republicans finally did about him last week: They gave no money to his parting gift.Philip Gailey: Saying farewell to two best friends I've lost two best buddies - Mary McGrory and my dog Barley. Both lived long and full lives (Mary was 85; Barley was 15), and that is some consolation. They died three days apart.Robyn E. Blumner: Young women pick up the torch WASHINGTON - It was the place I had to be last Sunday. The abortion-rights majority was rousing itself from a sleepy delusion that reproductive freedom and abortion rights were secure. After years in seeming hibernation, the movement was clearing its throat, shaking off its lethargy, provoked by an administration and Congress outwardly hostile to not only abortion but contraception and sex education. A war against women has been waged since President Bush came to office and I wanted to know who would show as the defending army.Bill Maxwell: Do we really know what we would do?The measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out. - Baron Thomas Babington Macauley, English historian and statesman
