Did you see George Will interview Bork yesterday? Bork didn't hold up well to scrutiny. The assault on Microsoft was driven by its competitors, especially Oracle, Netscape and Sun. Microsoft has been a huge boon to consumers.

Speaking of McCain-type whores: Rebel roundup National Reform Party leaders are trying to quell a rebellion among state affiliates hostile to Pat Buchanan by threatening to block them from voting at the national convention. Mr. Buchanan, who is touring state conventions in pursuit of enough support to win the nomination, has run into state parties from New Hampshire to Wisconsin to California willing to change their rules to keep him out. "We're just telling people that if they play games, their delegations will not be recognized at the national convention," party Chairman Pat Choate said yesterday. "If they're not recognized, they can't be seated and if they can't be seated, they can't vote," added convention Chairman Gerald Moan. Some state officials see Mr. Buchanan's tour across the country as an attempt to take over the party founded by Ross Perot. Not all national party leaders are happy with him either. On Sunday in Washington, Mr. Buchanan's sister and campaign manager, Bay, repeated the candidate's promise not to add a pro-life plank into the party platform. She promised to think about party Secretary Jim Mangia's proposal that the candidate make a statement acknowledging differences in opinions on social issues, Mr. Mangia said. In return, the national committee cracked down on state parties, Associated Press writer Laurie Kellman reports. washtimes.com Gee, didn't Buchanan say that there could be no compromise on such principles? Didn't Buchanan, once upon a tactic, threaten to bolt the GOP if they dropped their plank? Buchanan and McCain are remarkably similar egoists, their "principles" cut as conveniently as cloth to accommodate their current fashion needs. McCain has already admitted as much, that he derailed the so-called "Straight-Talk Express" in South Carolina in favor of his crafted double-talk. McCain and Buchanan have both amply displayed that their campaigns and fashion needs are tailored for keeping themselves in the limelight and on the media catwalk.
