I used to be a basketball fan, but haven’t watched the sport in decades. I do remember Barkley quite vividly as a player, for his hulking (he was stocky rather than super-tall) aggressiveness that sometimes segued into combativeness. Odd that … Continue reading →
In all the articles I’ve read that try to figure out what’s up with the Hagel ousting, I’ve been impressed by how little is actually known about it. What does it signal? My opinion is that it signals nothing more … Continue reading →
A lot of people were up in arms—and rightly so, IMHO—when the NY Times published Darren Wilson’s address, thus facilitating those who would do him harm. So I was happy to see that, before it was ever published, the address … Continue reading →
Now the University of Massachusetts has decided to rid itself of its association with Bill Cosby which goes back decades: A university spokesman told the Boston Globe on Wednesday university officials had asked Cosby to step down as an honorary … Continue reading →
This is an extraordinary article urging more sweeping executive action from Obama on immigration. It’s extraordinary in that it completely ignores the constitutional questions involved in what Obama has done. It’s written by Robert Morganthau, a New York lawyer and … Continue reading →
I’m certainly no Hagel fan. Just do a search for “Hagel” on this blog and you’ll see what I think of his competence, intelligence, and fitness for the job of Secretary of Defense. Now Hagel has been fired—or rather, submitted … Continue reading →

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 →
From a lengthy article by Noam Scheiber in The New Republic: While aboard Air Force One at the end of the 2012 campaign, Jarrett turned to Obama and told him, “Mr. President, I don’t understand how you’re not getting eighty-five … Continue reading →
This is a disturbing and yet somehow entertaining article about Guccifer, the Romanian email hacker who’s in jail for hacking into the email accounts of the rich and famous. Why did he do it? His motive doesn’t seem to have … Continue reading →
I am especially happy about the victories of Tim Scott, South Carolina’s Senator, and Mia Love, new Representative from Utah’s 4th District. There’s no way to deny that their race becomes important, if only because Democrats have emphasized race so … Continue reading →
