This is refreshing

The New Neo Posted on November 15, 2014 by neoNovember 15, 2014

Getting Obama and not getting Obama

The New Neo Posted on November 14, 2014 by neoNovember 14, 2014

If the voters of Louisiana are fooled by this ploy…

The New Neo Posted on November 14, 2014 by neoNovember 14, 2014

The thorn in Gruber’s side

The New Neo Posted on November 13, 2014 by neoNovember 13, 2014

I wondered who had found those videos of Gruber, and someone has covered that story, too. It’s a great one: Rich Weinstein is not a reporter. He does not have a blog. Until this week, the fortysomething’s five-year old Twitter … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on November 12, 2014 by neoNovember 12, 2014

The US and China have signed an emissions agreement that, as far as I can tell, is a lot of hot air. It’s about what each would really like to do—actually, what they’d like their successors to do: Today, the … Continue reading →

Veterans Day, Armistice Day

The New Neo Posted on November 11, 2014 by neoNovember 11, 2014

Yes, indeed, I am that old—old enough to just barely remember when Veterans Day was called Armistice Day. The change in names occurred in 1954, when I was very small, in order to accommodate World War II and its veterans. … Continue reading →
