A Fist-Bump for the New Yorker

Lemme get this straight folks...our first amendment right to free speech should only be exercised if the general electorate understands what we're saying? Hmm... posted 07/14/2008 at 17:37:28

Arab Intellectuals' Silence

i don't know if Arab intellectuals feel outraged about what's happening in Darfur or not, what i do know is just because there is an absence of outrage in the corporate-run media doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. posted 06/30/2008 at 18:36:56

Maliki Asks Iran to Get al-Sadr to Ceasefire -- And John McCain Declares "Victory!"

Paul...

I think progressive pundits are missing the point...McCain likely knows exactly what is going on but he needs to pretend he doesnt because what is really going on is a complete disaster and he's partially responsible for it.

It's far easier to throw red meat to the red states and say that Iran is training "Al Qaeda" then it is explain the nuances of what is happening on the ground in Iraq. Of course he didn't know Maliki asked for a ceasefire...that'd show a sign of weakness to these neocon war mongers.

I don't think McCain is as confused about what's going on in the Middle East as we'd like to believe, he's just hoping that the average American voter is. posted 04/01/2008 at 15:03:13

How to Avoid a Democratic Disaster

sorry but i think its ridiculous to suggest Obama should have to "wait his turn" and Hillary should be the nominee...Hillary had her chance to close the deal, she was the presumptive nominee for a long time, and the more people were able to compare her and Obama the more people tended to chose Obama (and lets not even bring up the report that said that 25% of Hillary supporters are idiots because they believe Obama is a muslim). posted 03/31/2008 at 20:49:54

Iraq: More Proof that the Baker-Hamilton Commission Was Right and the Bush-McCain Surge Was Wrong

if this past week has taught us anything its that Moqtada al Sadr is one of the most powerful men in Iraq right now and that's probably not a good thing for any chance of "reconcillation" posted 03/31/2008 at 17:23:03
