A second reason to doubt that drunk driving is a very serious offense is that the proscribed conduct is performed so frequently. Estimates of the amount of drunk driving vary widely, partly because of the inability of respondents to accurately report [sic] whether or not they have ever committed the offense. Although a majority of drivers admit to having combined drinking and driving at some time in their lives, the best guess is that about twenty percent of American drivers, or thirty-three million persons, drive while legally impaired each year.

John Podhoretz is starting to get right with Donald. David French is not yet right with Donald, but he will be. This is one of the most dishonest things I have ever read.

To the Editor:

Given the current Republican presidential primary debacle, it would seem that Senate Republicans would be wise to work with President Obama to fill the Supreme Court vacancy while they are still a majority. With Donald Trump as their candidate, they risk losing not only the White House but also control of the Senate and the chance to have a say in who fills the vacant seat.

But then again, in this political climate, who is wise?

Note from KBJ: Two things: First, the debacle is on the Democrat side, where Hillary Clinton is being coronated. Republicans are having meaningful debates about policy. Second, the Republican Party has all but imploded. Donald Trump is trying to save it. Remember John McCain and Mitt Romney? Could Trump do any worse?

Do you agree with Julian Baggini that "A greater appreciation of life is one result of atheism"?
