Nevertheless, Seattle approved a monorail a couple years ago. This was supposed to link Ballard and south Seattle, […]
Alex Rodriguez has decided to play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. Wow. I’m probably missing someone, but this is what the Dominican team looks like to me: DH: David Or
Robert Pape has an article on suicide bombing in the new APSR (What? Something interesting in the APSR? The hell you say!). Kevin Drum publishes an extract of an interview with Pape here, and Dan Drez
