Executing The Innocent

Sep 2, 2009
I just started reading David Grann's New Yorker piece, which everyone is talking about. I was delaying because I'm an old fogey, who actually enjoys holding print products, like books and magazines. I'm not even that far in and I'm ho...

Obama And Progressives

Aug 21, 2009
Paul Krugman unloads: On the issue of health care itself, the inspiring figure progressives thought they had elected comes across, far too often, as a dry technocrat who talks of "bending the curve" but has only recently begun to make the ...

Senate Apologizes For Slavery

Jun 19, 2009
I should have something to say about this. I have no idea why I don't. I guess it's good. Maybe I need to think on it more. 

Wright Clarifies

Jun 11, 2009
I don't know if it helps. The idea that "Zionists" are keeping Obama from talking to Wright strikes me as, well, false. I'm willing to bet Valarie Jarrett doesn't want them talking either. I'm willing to bet more that Michel...

Especially The Blacks And The Latinos

May 28, 2009
My former colleague Tim Padgett has an unfortunate and deeply problematic article on Sotamayor's effect on the relationship between blacks and Latinos, a subject that major media has never gotten a solid handle on, for reasons that are made clear...

Off-Line

Nov 5, 2009

Steve Harvey Is Giving Marriage Advice

Nov 5, 2009
And he ain't half-bad. Man, Good Morning America is another world. It's amazing to see this dude cross-over, and see the times. You got this black dude giving relationship advice to black, white, Asian women. Perhaps it shouldn't be that shocking. But...

Rihanna

Nov 5, 2009
You know I just watched her on GMA, and she came off really well. I don't mean like she "made you feel sorry for her" well, just sharp and really honest about why she went back. I've talked some about this case, and the broader issues it raised. I...

Awse

Nov 4, 2009
Heh, from comments: Why are posters here, and the media generally, ignoring the fact that these results were driven by Maine's overwhelming number of black churches?

Some Real Mature Women, And Some More Of They Friends...

Nov 4, 2009
David Brooks on romance: Once upon a time -- in what we might think of as the "Happy Days" era -- courtship was governed by a set of guardrails. Potential partners generally met within the context of larger social institutions: neighborhoods,...
