In an homage to the completely impartial commitment to the principle that no pundit can ever be fired for expressing views their employers find objectionable recently displayed by conservatives, I am proud to renew my eternal, deeply principled support for Dallas area sports franchises.

"[L]udicrously wrong, Alessandra Stanley-grade wrong." In fairness to Stanley, she at least usually confines her inevitable wrongness to a single field...
Shorter Verbatim Juan Williams: "It leads to people, especially journalists, being sent to the gulag for raising the wrong questions and displaying independence of thought." Yeah, the thought that I.
In response to Jon Chait and his many other defenders, I think it's worth making a few points about the Williams firing. Let's start off by assuming, arguendo, that his comments were objectionable (which they were) but not in and of themselves a firable offense, and...

Stephanie Carvin has a long follow-up to my critique of her earlier explosive weapons essay at Duck of Minerva. She provides a lot of interesting history and legal analysis, but never really elaborates on the one point in the post that directly addresses my defense of...
Well I'll be damned. Who could have predicted that jabbing pins into someone's chest to stimulate the flow of magical energy just might be dangerous? Oh, well. At least we.
I see no reason why this needs to go back to Texas.
