Molly I & I are not really back yet; we are very grateful for all the kind words about my mom, humbled, even. In times like these, time is short, but here is something that came across the transom despite all interdictions. It's to do with Glenn Beck's insane 100-Year-Plan goobery flim-flam ...

To paraphrase Flann O'Brien, death is an inferior phenomenon at best, an insanitary abstraction in the backyard. My mom was better than death: I may have mentioned this before, but she worked for decades as a social worker at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. As a vocation, a calling, she helped ...

The most unbelievable thing about Going Rogue ,
by the author-function "Sarah Palin," is that it's supposed to be
self-serving. The problem a self-serving narrative about Sarah Palin
confronts is that it's about Sarah Palin, whose entire life, it
appears, consists of worse and worse ...

by Ripley There's been a lot of flippity-flappity lately over the news that some detainees will be brought to NYC to face federal charges regarding terrorism. I don't have a terribly strong opinion on this particular issue, though I do think the concept of Military Tribunals for non-military ...

For me, right now, nothing points up the utterly amoral, nihilist, vicious nature of the "conservative movement" more clearly than the "death panels" episode. The right wing deliberately decided to make the nation paranoid about end-of-life counseling. Wow. Read this . I'll be off the nets for ...

Shorter Peter Beinart : It is beautiful and moving how Democrats are all of a sudden for the first time ever in history willing to compromise on an issue of women's rights. Bart Stupak is to be especially commended for his unselfishness willingness to sacrifice control of his own uterus. I ...

Here is why I dislike the American Political Insider Press, and by "dislike," I mean, "want to toss into a vat of shark-infested sulfuric acid." It is because of this class of thing from The Politico . When Al Franken ran for the Senate last year, the former “Saturday
Night Live” star had to ...

Some discussion has been occurring about how the filibuster might be reformed or dispensed with. I guess this is welcome, because the more it is generally accepted that the Senate is an utterly dysfunctional institution because it can't be anything else , the better off we'll be, in that there ...

This is something very special
from "The American Thinker," which has been on a quite a tear of late. The Problem, as editor J.R. Dunn spells it out, is that the
left just loves terrorism, and terrorists, and thinks that MASS DEATH
