Another former Justice Department lawyer went before Congress on Wednesday with few answers for his Democratic interrogators and a spotty memory. Time and again during his confirmation hearing, Hans von Spakovsky cited either the attorney-client privilege or a cloudy memory for his purported role in restricting minorities' voting rights.

Understand this: Lesser evil voting is not courageous. It is a cowardly surrender to the disappointing two-party status quo. Voters have some remarkable opportunities to transform fine minor candidates into competitive major candidates - more honest and trustworthy people like Ron Paul, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich, for example.

if you are as disgusted as most people are with the clowns running for office, then think before you repeat the mantra that it's everyone's duty to go vote. Maybe if the clowns starting getting only 10 or 15 percent turnout, more responsible people would go back into politics.

Sen. John McCain, missing another major vote on the Iraq war today in favor of presidential campaigning, has pulled far ahead of his 2008 rivals in at least one category: absenteeism. Over the last month, the Senate has held 33 votes. McCain has been on hand for just seven of those votes.
