This little item from Kos is interesting, and gives me an excuse to relate a dream I recently. In the dream, I was lazing about the house one morning, and turned on CNN. So far, the dream is dogme-95 realism--it went down as it actually...

Circumstantial evidence suggests that The Ethicist(tm) might be listening to my advice (or Paperwight). Still, I'm not in the mood to be terribly magnanimous. The first two "corrections" offered this week deal with.

Unlike Matt Yglesias, I can't say I'm a libertarian per se even one minute of the day. Being a Canadian, even at my most libertarianish phase of adolescence I supported socialized medicine. I do have libertarian positions on a number of issues, though, so it is...
I know, I know, we're not supposed to panic. 6+ weeks to go, debates, etc. But I'm going to panic a little anyway, in response to the SUSA New Jersey, Florida.
Since this is a little long to be included in comments, a couple of quick points about the possibility of a pro-life feminism. The first thing to say is that the.
