I applaud Obama’s measured tone on Iran, but the public justification for this approach seems a bit thin. The most common explanation – he doesn’t want to inflame anti-American sentiment – is certainly plausible,...
Tom at the Federalist Paupers has posted a bit of the Conor/Riehl debate Scott hosted in transcript form. One exchange that leaps out: Freidersdorf: I would say that there are some other big problems...
“If a man would register all his opinions upon love, politics, religion, learning, etc., beginning from his youth and so go on to old age, what a bundle of inconsistencies and contradictions would appear...
“The two cases handed down yesterday are just two new additions to the trend observed by Jeffrey Toobin, “in every major case since he became the nation’s seventeenth Chief Justice, Roberts has sided with...
Lauren Collins’ New Yorker article on Nora Roberts (June 22nd issue, not online yet) was, at first, the most culturally alienating thing I’ve read in a while. But maybe it’s not so bad. Key...

Davey over at Theopolitical has a very sharp post up analyzing the epic (can I call it epic yet?) debate between Conor and Dan (well moderated by Br. Scott) here at the League over...
So I wrote this piece last year for Culture11. I wanted to link to it in response to the tedious Sandra Tsing Loh, because the piece says all I want to say about her...
