Re: The Week in Blog: Princess Bride Edition (Bill Scher & Matt Lewis)

An interesting observation that Matt makes: The more ideologically 'pure' a candidate is, the less effective s/he is as a politician. To the extent that politics is the skill of effecting compromise,...

Re: Meet a Tea Partier (Robert Wright & Rob Neppell)

The positive of the Tea Partiers is that some very angry people are still working within the system they criticize in order to make improvements.

The negative of the Tea Parties is the deliberate...

Re: Intensely Resisted Worldviews (Robert Wright & David Frum)

Gentlemen,

The train of indigenous Iranian democracy--the Green Movement--has already left the station. It's done--wave goodbye, put a fork in it, and put a final fork into any wishful thinking...

Re: Eating a Baby With a Fork (Matt Welch & Eli Lake)

Mr. Lake,

The core reason that we small-l Libertarians are forever missing our 'Moment' in America--among arguably the most freedom-loving people in the world--is our continuous disastrous effort...

Re: The Decade in Review (Dan Drezner & Megan McArdle)

No mention in this diavlog of an imminent 'Age of Anxiety' created in the upcoming decade by an evolved form of religious Fascism acquiring dual purpose nuclear technology. So many saw the 'bubble'...

Re: Starting Over (Will Wilkinson & Kurt Andersen)

"Renewal"? Oh, dear. The 'renewal' frames the enduring influence of Calvinism in Bible Belt America, and is the whipping influence of Hitler's Nazism and today's Salafism and jihadism. The greatest...

Re: Percontations: System Justification Theory

Seven minutes into the dialogue and still there is not a single word about the influence of a determinst world-view upon justification of oppression. Doesn't Milgram's experiment suggest the reason...

Re: The Week in Blog: Smooth Segue Edition

It's nice to see a bi-partisan appreciation for Mr. Kemp's character, political career and enduring intellectual influence. In contrast, there's Mr. Spector.

Re: Worldwise: Iran and the Bomb (Jacqueline Shire & Richard Parker)

Re: Percontations: Your Brain and Your Genes

Two bright men with some interesting information to share, but listening to the one man's Valley-doll cadence is such a turn-off, I had to turn it off.
