Schizophrenic Day for News
Yesterday was a schizophrenic day for news. On the one hand, there was the story, actually from Tuesday, about how Taliban gunmen had stormed a high school favored by the sons and daughters of the Pakistani military and had killed … Continue reading
Here Come the Torture Apologists, Part 4.
Of all the torture apologists now appearing in public, the #1 character has, of course, been Dick Cheney. He really did go on “Meet the Press” and told Chuck Todd that the only “torture” that he recognizes is the kind … Continue reading

The politics of brinkmanship has thrown up another victory for the Republicans. If only the Democrats could grow a pair of balls. Elizabeth Warren has a pair, as anatomically strange as that sounds. If only her colleagues could join her … Continue reading

Here We Go Again
By now many commentators have weighed in on the non-indictment of Officer Daniel Pantaleo, the cop who put the choke hold on Eric Garner. Coming as it did, about a week after the non-indictment of Darren Wilson, the cop who … Continue reading
