Ned Lamont's victory in Connecticut should send chills up the spines of appeasement Democrats everywhere. In particular, Colorado's junior senator Ken Salazar should reconsider his July 5th statement that he would "support Joe Lieberman for the primary and beyond the primary." What happened in the Nutmeg State can happen in the Centennial State; what happened to Lieberman can happen to Salazar. But it's not clear that Salazar will change his accommodationist ways. Ever since the DLC and party insiders strong-armed Colorado Democrats into accepting Salazar as the 2004 US Senate nominee, almost every month we have had to swallow another Salazar betrayal. See below for some egregious examples...

Like the Democrats, the Republican party is an amalgam of constituencies. Fundamentalists, Neo Know Nothings, Chamber of Commerce types, property rights activists, domesticated Libertarians, and longtime party hacks have all found a home in the GOP, but is it accurate to assume that they all like one another?

As President Bush prepares to veto stem cell research legislation, I though it would be a good time to publish an email exchange I had with Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput last year. The Archbishop is a thoughtful, humane man, and in recent days he has had useful things to say regarding the immigration issue here in Colorado. However, the email exchange highlights a problem faced by anyone who attempts to argue for a policy in the public forum on the basis of purely religious reasons. Public debate in an open society has to take place on the basis of commonly ascertainable facts. Religious positions
qua
religious are based on personal experiences or divine revelation. This isn't to say that religious voices should be excluded from the public forum; it is to say that in a representative democracy religious leaders need to play by the same rules as everyone else.

Folks who want to get that extra basket of fruit or cheese for the holidays should pass along Prof. Luc Bovens's essay "The Rhythm Method and Embryonic Death" to their local Roman Catholic bishop--and a carbon copy to his cardiologist. The cardiologist will be grateful for the business. In the June _Journal of Medical Ethics_ Prof. Bovens, a philosopher at the London School of Economics, points out a flaw in the Catholic Church's support of the rhythm method: embryos conceived notwithstanding recourse to the rhythm method may be at greater risk. See below.

Beermonger Pete Coors has been arrested for drunk driving in Golden, Colorado. Meanwhile, in Boulder a pair of acid heads declared themselves "trolls" and attempted to purchase a lighter by charging a fee to cross a bike path bridge. The stoners say it was a "bad trip." Former US Senate candidate Coors says, "For years I've advocated the responsible use of our company's products. That's still my message and our company's message, and it's the right message. I am sorry that I didn't follow it myself." There may be some link between the two incidents, however. The acid trolls reportedly armed themselves with golf clubs.

John Dean has been talking about the American right in terms of Theodor Adorno's research on authoritarian personalities. Adorno's research aimed at explaining why the so-called "Good Germans" went along with the Nazis. Along the way, Adorno found similar traits in a large percentage of his fellow Americans: compliance with authority; conformity; and aggressiveness toward others when it is believed to be sanctioned by authority. Authoritarian personality theory may go some distance toward explaining what's up with the GOP bitter enders, i.e., how someone can continue to support the president in light of everything we know now. However, I don't think it's enterely helpful to medicalize the problem. Ultimately, one's politics are a moral rather than a psychological question. Below the fold you'll find a short reveiw of some scholarly literature regarding authoritarianism that I wrote for a college course a few years ago. I'm putting it up because somebody might find the references useful.

Speaking yesterday in Aspen former Fed head Alan Greenspan said, "If the world oil industry were to get into very serious difficulty, its impact on the world economic system would be very difficult to absorb."(see:
http://www.denverpost.com/...
). The bulk of Greenspan's talk consisted in entertaining just this possibility and in outlining market-based solutions. Greenspan inadvertently highlighted the seriousness of US hydrocarbon dependence when he stated that he supported the Iraq war because it prevented Saddam Hussein from controlling a key oil shipping route.

Congress may not be able to give Bush military commissions to try Guantanamo Bay detainees without derogating from the Geneva Conventions (1949). Yet the scope of the jurisdiction of military commissions stems from the battlefield necessity of trying crimes of war--exactly the sort of thing defined in the Conventions and other international treaty obligations. Such logical inconsistency will invite further judicial review.
