Kevin Drum is tentavively, sort of predicting that maybe the Dems might take back the house. Then he has the audacity to say "you heard it here first." Obviously, he's delinquent in his blog-reading: I made an equally forceful 'prediction' of the same sort a couple of...

Let's be frank, the Reagan worship is getting annoying. I know it'll run its course eventually, and I have to be patient. Last night I was at the gym, and.
The incomparable Bob Somerby notes many embarrassingly false and/or stupid comments from Tim Russert's appearance on Larry King this week, but I'd have to say that this is the best: RUSSERT: One.
More or less, I'm with Rob. I make no general effort to hide my views and persuasions, although I try to avoid establishing myself as a representative of one particular political tradition. So in my intro to political theory class, for example, my students will...

This case--a state court interpreting the state constitution--did not raise the...
Jesse Taylor on Christopher Snitchens: Chris Hitchens isn't a useful idiot - he's a useful asshole. He fills a slightly brainier niche than Dennis Miller does, although he's featured the same.
One strange thing about Stoller's argument about centrist bloggers is that it strikes me as no longer true. Drum, Yglesias, and Marshall have all become much more aggressive and partisan.
