I will not miss the naval-gazing, though I don't think I will be able to entirely escape its allure, as I plan to continue to write short posts at Nat...
What Barack Obama described in the 2008 campaign is what we are seeing unfold in the country. Guns and religion -- or, in other words, fear and intolerance.
John Boehner, Republican representative from Ohio's eighth Congressional District and ironically the House minority leader, has told friends and famil...
Now that his sex tape and other assorted sleazy doings seem to have taken John Edwards to the bottom, the mainstream media is on to the inevitable next story in this minor Greek tragedy, "Can Edwards make a comeback?"
Suddenly this summer, as right-wing mini-mobs turn health care forums into free-for-alls, as unhinged political rage flows in the streets, and as the Nazi and Hitler rhetoric flies, anger is in.
To most of us on the outside, the town-halls-gone-wild appear to reflect the intense feelings of a relatively small group of people who are very badly misinformed about what's actually happening in Washington.
I don't consider Ambinder to be a right-wing shill. He's giving sincere analysis, as he always does. Just in this case, he's wrong.

Hopefully the next editor who holds a piece from Betsy McCaughey on health care will see it as the equivalent of Plaxico Burress penning an op-ed on clubwear, and file it in the closest cat litter box.
A week or so ago, my colleague Marc Ambinder (anchor of the new Atlantic Politics Channel), did a series of blog posts on some privately commissioned ...
John McCain is employing several lines of attack each day and Republican strategists say the lack of focus makes it nearly impossible for him to gain ...
In response to an earlier post on Marc Ambinder's Atlantic blog, Randy Scheunemann, McCain's chief foreign policy adviser (pictured at left), had some...
Last week was a perfect example of how the conservative blogosphere's leading lights have been demoted to ridicule, simply because their efforts have become so thoroughly laughable.
What is particularly noteworthy is where the media bias lies: it's a clear willingness to give John McCain (R) the benefit of the doubt, but not Barack Obama (D).
By employing Bauhaus-inspired graphic cues, the Obama campaign was tapping in to the German cultural psyche, speaking to Germans in a design language that is familiar to them. That was smart.
