Professor Althouse:

Re: Tease Away (Glenn Loury & Ann Althouse)
AemJeff's speech, even if it were "nonsensical, convoluted" (which it is isn't), could not be considered illegal by the standards of either the harm principle or offense principle, but Palin's can.

Re: Tease Away (Glenn Loury & Ann Althouse)
You're conveniently confusing a legal defense of Loughner for a moral or causal one. As a matter of fact, it's hard to argue that Palin wasn't the proximate cause of Loughner's behavior.

The Beck without the Twist
It's rich when Carroll purports to criticize Palin. It reminds me of the Beck habit of tossing out an outrageous claim, and then walking it back, only to return to it later. Carroll does the first...

Out of Bounds?
I sat back and watched and listened to this debate this time. Instead, I re-read my blog posts from the period the last time a similar incident, the Seung Hui Cho shootings at Virginia Tech....

Re: Everything is political in a bad society
So, it doesn't matter what one says, any rhetoric is allowed! Then. why don't we just SHUT UP and allow the family three days to mourn - I'm sure we'll argue over a proper mourning period, too....

Re: Eyes Wide Open (David Corn & James Pinkerton)
They would enter the budget debate by informing themselves of CBO estimates, which they could fact check. At that point they would inform their respective representatives how to vote based not on...

The Daley Era
Did I hear right? Did both Corn and Pinkerton agree - from different ends of the ideological spectrum - that politics is a pragmatic game, not an ideological crusade? Has Bill Daley and the "Chicago...

Re: Recipe for a great diavlog
You forgot Hurlburt/Drezner! But, yes, this was a great diavlog after a lot of dreck.
