Re: Class of 2008 Commencement Edition
Dude,
You're funny.
If McCain and Bush are so different, how come you love them both? I will admit feeling enormous sympathy for you, and people like you. You've invested so much in Bush for...

Re: Rescuing Democracy
As long as we're going to critique style, can I ask that you stop using underlining for emphasis on web pages? You may not have thought about this, but every time you underline something for...

The Confederate States of America on Wikipedia
I'm a big fan of Wikipedia and think it is a great resource for the human race, especially for children, who now have at their fingertips the collected wisdom of the human race.
But I lost a...

Re: John Yoo's Haircut
Good points, and I also found the diavlog very interesting. I should have been more clear: I didn't mean they talked too long, just that there was only one basic premise on each side, and regardless...

Re: John Yoo's Haircut
I'm not sure what else Glenn could have said, or how he could have argued the point better than he did. Really, it's not a topic that requires 78 minutes of discussion: There's just one basic...

Re: One More Thing
Exactly -- well said.
Or, if I may substitute another analogy: It's as if you were to have an argument about the Kennedy assassination and who was responsible and the person you are arguing with...

Re: One More Thing

Re: John Yoo's Haircut
It seems a few people are responding to Glenn's criticism of the press by granting him -- as you do above -- draconian and authoritarian positions that he explicitly rejects. His argument would be...

Re: John Yoo's Haircut
I missed the part where he said journalists are totally unaccountable.
That's funny, too, since he spends the entire diavlog holding them to account. It's Megan who says journalists are totally...
