I have always thought that Joyce was overrated a bit (yeah, yeah, I know, Joyce is a genius, what have I ever written, etc, etc, etc. Sorry, but the kinds of stylistic games he played did not work as consistently as the majority of critics seem to think they did. At least for me, they [...]

The “Andy Griffith Show”, on second look, was a subversive vehicle for due process, prisoner welfare, and the rule of law. It looks so quaint, now.
Dishonesty and the Bush Administration

Their primary contention that Bush lied was [...]
Why Do We Blog
Posted in Bloggin on June 16, 2004 | 6 Comments »
Jeanne wants to know why people blog: For a couple of years, I’ve been reading about two dozen left-wing blogs a day, and a few more on the right. I’m finding it harder and harder, as evidence of the corruption in this government mounts, to read the ones on the right. In the past left-wing [...]

All Hail Detroit
Posted in Sports on June 16, 2004 | 3 Comments »
And yes, it hurt to write that. But let’s face it: They didn’t just beat the Lakers; they handed the Lakers their asses. Los Angeles was lucky to win the one game they did win. And as much as I’m not a fan of Detroit (the city or the team), I love the style of [...]

International > Rebel Cleric Signals End to Shiite Insurgency in Iraq” href=”http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/international/international-iraq-sadr.html?hp”>This is interesting: Radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr sent his fighters home on Wednesday in what may mark the end of a 10-week revolt against U.S.-led forces that once engulfed southern Iraq and Shi’ite Islam’s holiest shrines. With the formal end of U.S.-led occupation just [...]

Iraq War Refresher — UPDATED 6/16
Posted in Iraq, Terrorism on June 16, 2004 | 14 Comments »
Back in February, I put together an Iraq War Refresher Course, which I called a “handy list of Responses to Faulty and/or Post-Hoc Iraq War Justificationstm.” In the months since, little has changed in Iraq, except that things have gotten worse.
