Of Mice And Men I will miss John Paul Stevens. He's the last of his kind, and the generation which has come after is, ahem, a lot less impressive.

Before And After Every day, the USA looks more and more like Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe. That's not a good thing.

Did Obama Sandbag His Own Health Care Bill? It's difficult to explain Barack Obama's behavior on his own health care bill, unless one considers the possibility that he was undercutting it himself.

Stumbling About In the Graveyard of Empires Just about everything that could possibly be wrong about American policy in Afghanistan is, in fact, wrong.

The Complete Idiot's Guide To Governing Running a successful American government is actually not that hard to figure out how to do. There are lots of models for it. Obama and the Democrats should try it out.

To Hell In A Handbasket If it all feels like it's coming apart at the seams in American politics - and, indeed, America itself - it's because it is.

Bipartisan Is Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Win Bipartisanship is all the rage now. It's a bad idea today, because it's little more than code for doing nothing but maintaining a status quo that favors elites. But it's even a bad idea in general, since it undermines democracy.

This Is Liberalism? If Barack Obama and the Democratic Party are liberals, I'm the Queen of England. One of the great coups of the regressive movement has been to disappear an entire ideology.

Lead, Follow, Or Get Out Of The Way The dysfunctionality of American politics is widespread, and includes the public, the opposition party, the media and more. But we also suffer from a shameful lack of leadership.

Just Gimme Some Truth Watching Obama in action this last week raised the tantalizing question of what would it be like if we actually had a political class whospoke the truth? What a concept, eh?

An Ugly Week For The Human Race And Other Living Things What a bad week it's been, between the Senate race in Massachusetts and the Supreme Court's bomb and Air America going belly-up. This week we went from grim to worse.

Hey, Conan Obama: How About Now? Can You Hear Us Now? Okay, Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts. Democrats are really on a roll now, especially if you think party suicide is a good idea.

Sarah and the Spiraling Sewer of Regressive Deceit McCain willingly and knowingly endangered the country, purely for his own personal benefit. This man - who never let up in reminding us all of the vital importance of national security issues - put someone on his ticket who was so obscenely incompetent to run the country that she couldn't even pass a sixth grade history class. He wanted the personal glory of being president, and he thought she could draw votes.

Sarah and the Spiraling Sewer of Regressive Deceit The revelation this week that Sarah Palin knew absolutely nothing about the world when she was a candidate for the Vice Presidency is only the first of a boatload of regressive lies.

The Implosion Of The American Political Consciousness The practice of politics in America today is ugly, but for the real grim depths of our problem, take a look at our diminished political consciousness.

The Perils of Passivity It's ludicrous to think of Obama, Reid and Pelosi as some sort of tough guy enforcers. In fact, of course, they're as wimpy as can be. And that's an expensive characteristic indeed.

Well, That Sure Sucked: Good Riddance To The Devil's Decade Wow, and I thought the 80's were horrific. Actually, they were. It's just that this last decade was so much worse. I'm sure hoping for better looking forward...

Now I'm Really Getting Pissed Off When it comes to Obama, I've gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger. Now I'm fast getting to rage.

America's Race To The Bottom It's all going to Hell in a handbasket. And why shouldn't it? Could we have possibly have been more stupid?

Present At The Destruction Watching Barack Obama talk about Afghanistan the other night was like watching The Last Emperor. We've all seen the movie, and it doesn't end well.
