THERE IS NO LACK OF RESPECTED ECONOMISTS WHO consider the United States to be not only in an economic crisis but in a crisis of governance as well.5 As noted, the policies and ideology of neolibe...

Immigrant status, gender, and national origin make the development of a single "Latino" agenda extremely unlikely. That is to say, the particular interests and needs of Latinos, as with other gro...

AS THE 2010 MIDTERM CONGRESSIONAL elections approached, attention to the role of Latinos in the electoral process increased accordingly. This is a familiar pattern, not only in the popular media,...

Isn’t Crooked Timber amazing? Aren’t we all fortunate to live in an era when such mighty intellectual machinery can be set in motion to tackle what is, quite obviously, by far the single most...

Once again other bloggers have beaten us to it, this time on the latest examples of jaw-droppingly foolish, albeit interestingly varied drivel from David Hirst, Robert Fisk, George Monbiot and Jo...

Lots of blogs visited - including the (to our eyes) oddly hyphenated Anti-Podean Journal, which has some interesting posts on New Zealand politics and has been kind enough to link to us - but not...

We’re leaning towards banning ourselves from even mentioning the anti-war movement, as there are plenty of more interesting and more important subjects to blog about, and we’ve said enough (m...

We should definitely be working, we could even be blogging, but every afternoon this week will be taken up with watching old John Wayne films on BBC2. It’s a difficult job, but someone has to d...

Via A Fistful of Euros, here is a refreshingly clear statement of basic common sense on Al Qaeda, Europe and the eerily and memorably misprinted “Untied States”, from (it says here) “a seni...

Over at EnviroSpin Watch, Philip Stott takes a break from discomfiting fanatical Greens and fanatical anti-Greens alike to comment on “things academical”: “As a group, we academics can whin...

Just one of those voices today, but it’s a powerful one that isn’t listened to nearly as much as it should be. David Widgery (1947-92), whose adventures shuttling between (as he put it) “ps...

Given the sheer size and variety of the mass media, and the customary ways in which those media operate, it’s not easy to find anything that isn’t already burdened with advance publicity, whi...

Via Hak Mao, here is the first post-Madrid article we’ve seen that even mentions Ceuta and Melilla, in the course of explaining what we’d wrongly hoped was bloody obvious: that Al Qaeda are m...

by Eamonn Fitzgerald at (suitably enough) Rainy Day One year after, there is no “popular resistance” to the coalition forces who liberated the long-suffering people of Iraq from the crime sy...

Over the next few days there will probably be even more references, in those media that cover Kosova in any depth, to the fifth anniversary of something or other that happened in a province that ...

Visit Harry’s Place for suggestions; point and laugh at the anti-war clowns, and their misguided followers; hope on their behalf that they never experience even a fraction of the suffering that...

After the meander of our previous post, a small but fairly deep pool. According to Arthur C. Clarke, in Greetings, Carbon-based Bipeds! (HarperCollins, 1999), this is the shortest story that Erne...

As the “left” has succumbed to collective amnesia about class, various forms of “identity politics” have been invented to fill the vaccuum. In yet another of those ironies that history ke...
