Acrimony: Get used to seeing Al Gore on your television, says Alan Caruba,

would make federal courts -- including the Supreme Court -- less prone to
inventing their own versions of America's Constitution

the conservatives who rant and rave about the current crisis and propose
their own "solutions" to the election fiasco. Fact is, they are as much to
blame as anyone else

for Al Gore regardless of how the election turns out

arguments they are using are insulting people who voted for them? W. James

confused liberals of the world. Even they need a shoulder to cry on
And now...armed guards at the DMV: Thought it was bad when the federal
government armed some employees of the postal service? Vin Suprynowicz that
some people in Nevada want to put armed guards at the DMV
Guns, drugs and alcohol: The same words justifying the wars on drugs and
alcohol -- failed wars -- are the same ones that Dr. Michael S. Brown hears
aimed at firearms
Is Greenspan following in the steps of '27?: It's said that Alan Greenspan
is a student of the economic mistakes made in the 1920s ahead of the Great
Depression. If that's so, asks Gerard Jackson, why is he making the same
mistakes?
Human targets: The drive to ban dodge ball in several Maryland counties
because it has "human targets" has Mark Trapp steamed
Howard Stern: Professional bully: Nicholas Sanchez says news that Howard
Stern is leaving his popular radio program is very welcome
Secession: Western Canada's not so new buzz word: Canada's recent federal
election could spark the return of a secessionist movement in that country's
western provinces, reports Scott Carpenter

have a beer with some drill sergeants, says David Hackworth

--ESR's Conservative Site of the Day-->
Each weekday ESR's sister web site spotlights the best in digital
conservatism. If you're jonesing for a new conservative site to visit, we
got it! Check it out at http://www.enterstageright.com/site
Enter Stage Right is a conservative journal with an unorthodox perspective.
We don't mix religion and politics and we don't believe in freedom and
individualism as half- hearted principles. We are opposed to government
interference in our private lives and the economy. ESR promotes
laissez-faire capitalism. The magazine itself does not support any
particular political party, and then is therefore free to support *anyone*
who shares our philosophy.
We're a little weekly non-profit journal and we hope you visit us. We don't
mind submissions if you're interested in writing for us.
