CHIPPING AWAY AT THE DEMS' ESTRADA FILIBUSTER: As a youngster, I was as big a "CHiPS" fan as anybody, but this is depressing. According to this Washington Times report, Hispanics are paying much attention to the filibuster against Bush judicial appointee Miguel Estrada and one pollster believes he is being confused with Erik Estrada. I first found this story linked via VDARE.com's letters to the editor section, noted for its pessimism about Hispanic support for conservative Republicans. On the bright side, the same poll did show strong favorability ratings for Bush.

Of course, early polls for the 2000 presidential race found large numbers of respondents confusing George W. Bush with his father. At least they did not confuse him with the rock band or the ultra-lite beer.
