The Epistemic Closure of Joe Bageant

Via Memeorandum this morning I learned that author/blogger Joe Bageant has died and is the object of several obituary tributes on the Left. Susie Madrak calls Bageant a “fire-breathing class warrior” — she means this as praise — and writes: “Did I mention that Joe was, in fact, an actual socialist?” This she also intends […]

Never Take Advice from Your Enemies

For example, Harry Reid: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday urged Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to ditch members of the Tea Party and cut a deal with Democrats to avert a government shutdown. Reid insisted it is those GOP internal divisions that are threatening to shut down the government after April 8, in […]

Yemen: This Is Not Good News

Associated Press: Islamic militants seized control of a weapons factory, a strategic mountain and a nearby town in the southern Yemen province of Abyan Sunday, said a witness and security officials, as a political stalemate in the capital causes security to unravel around the country.

Adams explains that what seemed […]

New York Times Sends an 11-Year-Old Girl to Interview the Jonas Brothers

Or the equivalent thereof: Shridar Pappu’s profile feature on “Washington’s New Brat Pack” pulses with so much fanzine breathlessness you might think it was February 1964 and the Beatles had just landed in New York: In only a few years, these young men and others like them have become part of the journalistic establishment in […]

‘My Little Realm …’

New York Times editor Bill Keller damns his own soul to hell with a column attempting his own justification: Back in 2004, Daniel Okrent, the first ombudsman at The Times, wrote a column under the headline, “Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?” The sly first sentence of his essay was: “Of course it […]
