Mo’ Meta, Mo’ Betta
Via BoingBoing, please enjoy an opinion piece on a controversial topic. The comments may be better than the OP, and that’s saying something.
One Further Thought on Internet Commenting
A Twitter “conversation” with our own Tim Kowal yesterday reminded me of something that I neglected to mention in my previous post. Part of why comments sections struggle especially hard to move beyond style to...
I’m Just a Black Man Trapped in This White World…
To paraphrase fellow blogger Mike Dwyer, it seems kind of odd to write an introduction since I’ve been familiar with this blog and the bloggers for about as long as the League has existed. ...
On Ross Douthat, “Glass Jaw” Analogies, and Always Trying to Find a New Angle

The League, Here and There and Back Again
I know Mark is working on a history of the League, and Patrick and Tod and others have been doing various posts about where readers and commenters and writers and so forth all hail...
Congratulations are in order
Please join me in congratulating League blogger (and Outside the Beltway blogger, and Forbes blogger) Alex Knapp who has just accepted a full-time position with Forbes magazine. This is seriously awesome and I’m happy...
