Up to now, I’ve written nothing in support of John Kerry. Up to now, I’ve seen no reason to do so. Craig Cheslog, writing over at Political Parrhesia, notes some of his favorite lines from John Kerry’s acceptance speech last night.

As a friend of mine wrote when he forwarded an email about this story to me: “And they’re complaining about MoveOn.org.” The Michigan Republican Party submitted more than 40,000 signatures last week in a bid to get independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader on the state’s November ballot. Of course, this is not really about helping […]
