Phil has an excellent summary on his blog about the implications of the current happenings in New York politics – that is, the runoff election Tuesday in which two old school Jewish Democrats were resoundingly defeated for Comptroller and Public Advocate respectively. Also notable in this respect is the likely election of an avowedly anti-Zionist [...]

Don’t trust the German FDP, about to go into coalition, on Afghanistan. It is making welcome noises. But it is a party of both economic and social libertinism. People like that always believe in spreading it at the barrel of a gun. Sometimes they are open about this, sometimes they are not. Yet press any [...]

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — Matt Cockerill at Young Americans for Liberty’s Weblog has the quick, easy way for you to find out if Jimmy Carter’s pronouncement applies to you.

They’ll be nuking our towns and cities any night now. Not just here in Europe. Remember, Iraq’s nukes could reach New York from the Middle East. Honestly, if you believe that there is an Iranian nuclear weapons programme at all, then you must also still be looking for WMD in Iraq. Speaking of Iraq, there [...]

Greenwald nails Beck, that is, and the whole overlap of inchoate protest politics that bedeviled the antiwar movement too. Michael Lind also had a very smart piece the other day – “the teabaggers are the Yippies of the right”. I also just now saw Beck on his show jump on the Obama-is-surrendering-in-Afghanistan bandwagon, in case [...]
