GOLLLLLDBERG!!
Ouch. Greenwald brings the heat on the Atlantic’s second most controversial blogger. I don’t know where my career is heading, but I really hope something like this never happens to me. Greenwald pulls no punches. You can’t even really say that Greenwald isn’t being realistic here, a critique that I find often fits with his […]

It’s Both

It’s saying white people can’t enjoy movies unless the protagonist is white.” (Dar later contacted the Wire to clarify that […]

Lousy Activist Judges…
Megansigh: This weekend, I had a conversation with someone non-crazy who thinks there is a not-insignificant chance that the Supreme Court will overturn health care reform, or at least the individual mandate (it’s not clear what happens to the rest of the law if the mandate goes down; there’s some possibility that this would invalidate […]

About That Gladwell Quotation….
ELH’s comment, re-posted: As a journalist, let me say that I hope that the stories told by preachers and writers/journalists (and even Malcolm Gladwell, whatever it is that he is, exactly) are very, very different things. As a Jew married to a Jewish atheist, let me say: Sheesh. I’m sure that many Hindus, Muslims, Seventh […]

Coates has managed to take advantage of Gov. Bob McDonnell’s proposal to honor Confederate History Month by dedicating a series of posts to the true legacy of the Confederacy. I remember a while back when Andrew Sullivan did the “It’s so Personal” posts on abortion, the Atlantic put all of the posts under one link. […]

Quote of the Day
A Big Government is no longer a prospect to ward off. That choice has been made. One might regret it — but not as much as the consequences of refusing to pay for it. – Clive Crook Yeah, basically. I’m not normally a huge fan of Clive, but this view strikes me as very realistic. […]

Housekeeping
First up, you’ll notice I finally added my fellow TNC commenters’ blogs under “Ta-Nehisians.” They blog on quite a variety of topics; here I was all thinking everyone just has esoteric blogs on political communication and whatever the fuck else they feel like.

AIG Frustration
First of all, this isn’t a rant about how awful AIG is. There’s enough coverage of that already, and besides, they sponsor Manchester United, so yours truly always knew something was up. Instead of just being angry, it’s important to know why we are angry and why we aren’t doing anything about it. The first […]
