OK, all you political junkies, here’s a bone to chew on. Arianna cheerfully admits to, and explains, Bush Derangement Syndrome. Kurtz: All right. Let me stick with the media and the vice president. Arianna, I’m sure you’d like to respond to this notion that you’re suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome. Huffington: Well, absolutely. First of [...]
“Only Nixon can go to China,” as the old Vulcan proverb goes. Nixon’s ruthless soulmate Henry Kissinger, that old Vulcan, somehow manages to get through this WaPo op-ed without typing “only Hamas can make peace with Israel.” But the phrase hovers over all. The advent of Hamas brings us to a point where the peace [...]
Minxin Pei, the China hand at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, writing in Foreign Policy, predicts “China’s future will be decay, not democracy.” China’s economic performance since 1979, for example, is actually less impressive than that of its East Asian neighbors, such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, during comparable periods of growth. Its [...]
Ken Livingstone is an arse of the first water. Among his many verbal outrages, he once said he looks forward to the Bush Administration being “overthrown” the way Saddam was. So it makes me grimace to have to lock arms and stand in solidarity with him, but I have no choice. My principles allow no [...]
I’m sorry…he smears so called “liberals”: Despite the clearly desperate desire of some to believe that civil war is on the horizon, my sense is that we won’t see a civil war. This will undoubtedly disappoint and infuriate a lot of so-called “liberals” in the U.S. and Europe almost as much as it will infuriate [...]
Fear is not respect. Fear is fear. So just say it.
And I’m almost certain he’s actually writing it. There’s too much original content on there for it not to be. And by the way, the content is pretty damn good too, if you enjoy reading an insider’s perspective on the music industry. Here are some of his thoughts on the guilt by association game reporters [...]
I hear ya fellow Democrats: Democrats, after 11 years as the minority party in Congress, still can’t get it right with their own voters, a poll shows. By objecting to virtually every initiative and proposal of the Bush administration and congressional Republican majority, Democrats are undermining their party’s chances of regaining the majority this fall, [...]
Yes, the Senate in SD voted for eliminating abortion rights, and by nearly a 2-1 margin: PIERRE, S.D. (AP) â€â€? South Dakota moved closer to imposing some of the strictest limits on abortion in the nation as the state Senate approved legislation that would ban the procedure except when the woman’s life is in danger. [...]
To civil war? To a stronger national unity? To explain… If you haven’t heard yet, one of the holiest Shi’ite mosques was attacked by insurgents. And since some Shi’ites think the Sunnis did it, they’ve attacked their mosques. Tit for tat, even though it’s not really clear that the Sunnis did anything at all. That’s [...]
