It’s not easy to keep up with all of this. But it’s been reported by the Catholic News Agency that Native American (and non-Vietnam-vet) Nathan Phillips and his merry band of drummers had an even busier Washington weekend than had … Continue reading →
I think of the Covington story and the Buzzfeed Cohen/Trump story as connected, even though their subject matters differ tremendously. The common meta-subject-matter of both, the lessons to learn from both, go like this: (1) There is no limit to … Continue reading →
I just found this correction in which the WaPo admits that Nathan Phillips is not a Vietnam veteran. Fancy that. It’s something the right half of the blogosphere suspected almost immediately. I had made a comment or two about it, … Continue reading →
