	Roe effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal named this theory and has discussed it extensively in his Opinionjournal.com column "Best of the Web Today." He cites statistics to support his case, such as evidence that current college-age students (mostly born after abortion's legalization) oppose abortion more now than students in earlier years.
		Taranto coined the phrase in a brief entry in Opinionjournal.com on December 9, 2003, but first wrote about the theory in a response to analyses relating sexual mores and voting preferences on January 17, 2003.
		In a April 14, 2005 piece, Taranto suggested that the Roe effect would also be a key factor in explaining that the greatest long-term declines in child poverty and single mothers predominantly occurred in Democratic-leaning regions of the United States - due to the availability of abortion to teenage mothers in pro-choice states.

	Opposition to homosexual marriage—Wall Street Journal-style (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Taranto is a thug who would not think twice about publishing a home phone number of a dying young mother just because he disagreed politically with her husband (Peter Brimelow).
		Taranto is certainly an irreverent wise guy, but I'm not sure that he deserves to be indicted as a thug who would seek to expose a dying young mother to prank phone calls in order to embarrass her husband whom he politically opposes.
		Taranto's problem, and that of those whom he represents, unfortunately lies much deeper than the fact that he may or may not be a jerk.

	James Taranto Picks the ‘Best of the Web Today’ \| This Is Not a Blog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		James Taranto is the editor of the Wall Street Journal online editorial page, OpinionJournal.com, and the author of Best of the Web Today, a conservative and humorous take on the day’s headlines.
		Taranto believed that his suspension was due to his conservative viewpoint, so he decided to sue his professors.
		The story that put Taranto’s name on the map for online journalism was his 2001 “monkeyfishing” article, in which he exposed the falsity of a Slate.com piece about the practice of fishing for monkeys on a Florida key island.

		Taranto makes his living by insulting on a daily basis the religion and culture of more than a billion of the world’s population — that is, when he is not openly excusing atrocious Israeli war crimes.
		Taranto has never been to Saudi Arabia, and I wrote in my last article how I would bet a billion dollars he would argue that his ignorance of the Kingdom is unimportant.
		Taranto not only confirmed that prediction, but even managed to excel his previous arrogance by stating in his reply that he had absolutely no desire to visit the Kingdom or to learn more about it.

	Will Wilkinson / The Fly Bottle: James Taranto of Best of
		James Taranto of Best of the Web demonstrates mocking disregard for civil rights when he gladly cites poll data to show that people who care about liberty are out of touch with most Americans.
		The data show most Americans approving of such things as indefinite, secret state imprisonment for trivial offenses and the ability of the state to legally eavesdrop on conversations between the accused and their defenders.
		Taranto seems quite pleased that the populace's "overriding priority is to win the war." However, there is no clear indication that these policies are helping to win the war.

		But Ballin is a persuasive counterweight to the pernicious and patently silly notion put out by some that certain (or perhaps all, the standard changes constantly) judicial nominees are somehow so controversial that there exists precedent demanding that they should pass some kind of supermajority barrier before being confirmed.

	James Taranto's Best of Web Today Column Holds Political Influence
		Taranto, 38, is standing on the deck of that ship and thumbing his nose at his erstwhile colleagues in the traditional media.
		Taranto, who had previously been deputy editorial-features editor of the paper, took to the looser, longer form of the Web column, and before long was its primary contributor.
		The primary distinction between Taranto and the blogosphere at large is that he is also armed with the pretensions of power and influence that come along with the Journal’s brand, evidenced most clearly by his preference for the royal “we” instead of the first person.

	Jejune Journalism
		James Taranto, the hot-headed, hardly hot, hypocritical editor of OpinionJournal reads like the kind of beer guzzling clown in the frat house who not only guffawed at his own jokes while elbowing the clearly unimpressed in the side, but thought they were worthy of repetition.
		While professionalism is relative, consider Taranto’s “We Get Results” brag line which is frequently employed to preen and puff about successful removal of “hate speech” (loosely defined as any opinion muttered that goes against Taranto’s virulent pro-Sharon, one-sided, narrow world view) in violation of an ISP’s terms of service on even the slightest technicality.
		Unlike the Maniscalcos, Tarantos, Sullivans, Goldbergs and other backslapping, under-exercised, thirties-going-on-seventies school of mediocre, William F. Buckley-inspired puffery pundit poofs who stuff themselves on an inebriating diet of hate-filled, self-aggrandizing, paradigm-trapped swill that perpetuates their distorted sense of relevance and inflates their already-obese egos, I do not wish to see them muzzled or shut down.

		But my long study of the multiple Tarantos - they’re a common political type - has caused me to conclude that they are driven by a peculiar emotional agenda to which facts and argument are irrelevant.
		James Taranto was once a colleague of my wife’s at the Manhattan Institute.

		When Taranto always refers to Kerry as the "haughty French-looking senator who, by the way, served in Vietnam," it becomes a meme, a little word group that gets stuck in readers' minds.
		Taranto is frequently funny, always partisan and, yes, sometimes completely over the top, but you are too consistent a advocate to free speech, I think, to really want to use the law to regulate political discourse.

	The Blog \| Eric Boehlert: Paging James Taranto \| The Huffington Post
		The see-no-evil approach is odd because just a few months ago OpinionJournal, and specifically its Best of the Web daily column, written by James Taranto, was openly mocking anyone who suggested the scandal had legs or that Rove might face political peril.
		In an April 7 post about the Plame investigation headlined, "The Fat Lady Warms Up," Taranto announced triumphantly, "It's almost over." And it was clear how Taranto thought it would end—with a dud.
		Taranto is a bully and bullies are cowards, so do the math.

		His name is actually James Taranto, and he is an opinion journal editor who is best known for writing the daily feature: Best of the Web, which is well worth reading if you haven't heard of it before.
		I read David's 'evidence' and it makes alot of sense except for the fact that Taranto himself is very much a blogger, regularly cites bloggers and is writes with a pretty sharp tone toward what he finds ridiculious.
		In any case, the broader theme is clear: Those on the right are helping improve institutions like the media and academia by casting light on their most irresponsibly leftist elements, while those on the left are trying to excommunicate responsible center-left figures like Tim Roemer and Larry Summers.

	Black Box Voting Forums: (DC)James Taranto wrongly claimed Kerry based fraud comments on jokes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		For two consecutive days, Wall Street Journal OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto has alleged in his daily "Best of the Web" column that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) cited satirical or humor-based sources when he commented recently on instances of fraud in the 2004 general election.
		Taranto claimed that Kerry "embarrasses himself" by doing so, and referred to Kerry as "dense." But Kerry's comments were in fact based on real news reports of attempted fraud.
		Rather than noting his error, Taranto continued to attack Kerry and further expounded on the supposedly comical origin of Kerry's comments, claiming they may have originated from "Democratic joke[s]" told prior to the 2000 election by Air America Radio host Al Franken and comedian Bruce Vilanch.
