A few interesting headlines in the news today...
First: Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) accused Republicans of "social Darwinism." Rather an interesting statement, does it mean perhaps that Republicans have "evolved" farther than Democrats and so consider ourselves higher beings? Or perhaps he means that we believe in survival of the fittest and that Republicans always win elections thus making us the "fittest."
Secondly, Senator Bill Frist (R-Tenn), the Senate Majority Leader, has promised to use veto a filibuster if one is used against Samuel Alito during his confirmation. It's about time we got rid of the filibuster, however we must see whether Frist's words will lead to actions or not.
