Even if Rasmussen’s poll is accurate and only 14 percent of African-Americans say that American society “is generally fair and decent” (down from 55 percent from February), this – from Powerline’s John Hinderaker –...
The whiff of tokenism notwithstanding, I’m actually glad to see that there are credible black Republicans angling for high-level political office. I’ve long argued that it would be good for black people, and great...
Will is right to say that I didn’t fully address one of Douthat’s core points, which he summarizes (quite well, I should add) in the post below: The point of redistributive taxation isn’t to...
(cross-posted from my humble blog) To sort of second Neil’s observation about the power of anti-bullying/anti-prejudice norms to “have a broad and beneficial societal impact,” I’m pretty convinced that you can apply the “broken...
I’m embarrassed to say that I once had a little bit of respect for Bobby Jindal. I mean, his retrograde social views notwithstanding, he seemed to be exactly what I was looking for in...
Reading Ross Douthat’s (terrible) column this morning, I really only have three thoughts: 1) Someone should tell him to shy away from writing policy columns; not only is he not very good at them,...
Justin, a Friend of the Blog, isn’t terribly happy with the language Rep. Grayson (infamously?) used to describe the Republican health care alternative: There is no sense in which the Republicans want people to...
I’ve been sort of absent from the League this week – a bad cold + writers block = no blogging – and I have been fairly derelict with my Friday Genius Ten’s. So, you...
For those of you who weren’t there when I introduced myself a few months ago, I’m a recent graduate of the University of Virginia. And at the University I majored in “Political & Social...
On foreign policy, I’m something of a realist/intervention-skeptic, which is why I’m inclined to agree with Daniel Larison when he argues that democratization isn’t terribly compatible with stability: Egypt and Jordan can remain at...
Okay, I meant to put one of these up last week, but I didn’t. Thankfully, this is a particularly good mix, which will hopefully make up for the fact that I’ve been really derelict...
Ta-Nehisi Coates: There’s a part in The Audacity Of Hope, where writing about race, Obama notes that, rightly or wrongly, a significant swath of white people are exhausted, and repeatedly scolding them (even if...
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post explaining a few possible ways we could raise revenue, in light of the – as of yet accounted for – long-term structural deficits in the Obama...
Unlike quite a few of my liberal fellow-travelers, I think Megan McArdle is a pretty decent econ-blogger. That said, she tends to stumble a little bit when it comes to political prognostication: I now...
After I read Ross Douthat’s column this morning, I tweeted that I was nominally on board with his attempt to massage George W. Bush’s reputation. Three hours, two cups of coffee, and a nice...
Matt Zeitlin’s post on 9/11 is top notch, and I recommend that you read it. Here’s an excerpt: One would hope that America’s size, strength and influence would breed a certain sense of responsibility...
This isn’t really part of the conversation anymore, especially now that Congress and the president have taken it off the table, but it’s worth reminding folks that we could cover a good chunk of...
Creepy admiration for China’s authoritarian government aside, the main point of Tom Friedman’s most recent New York Times op-ed is actually pretty sound: the United States has become something of a neutered one-party democracy. ...
We have been experiencing some system resource issues. We believe the problem may be resolved, but if it is not please bear with us.
