A commenter at Sullivan’s blog has it nailed down: I think it helps to understand that, for right-wing populists, this thing we call “history” is less about real people who did real things in the real world, and more like just the Bible Part II. It’s a myth that can

He’s probably right
Joshua Green makes the case why Weiner should resign. I have no idea what will become of Anthony Weiner now that he has tearfully confessed, at great length and in uncomfortable detail, to tweeting photos of his naked torso and various other clothed and unclothed body parts to at least

Andrew Breitbart is still a fucking sleazebag.

Lawrence Eagleburger passed away this weekend. He is one of the few professional Foreign Service officers to rise to become Secretary of State. One of the things that gets lost in the whole stupid debate about the debt ceiling and the federal budget is that there a lot of folks

You can now follow Skippy-san on Facebook! Some ass-wipe stole my nom-de- guerre on Twitter, so when you get those crotch shots, they are not from me! Come help me fill up my wall!

Another good sea story-repeated from another post I made at another blog-a long time ago and in better times: A long time ago and in a galaxy far away…………… The term did not have the same perjorative meaning that it has now. This post is not about a neocon. Its

It would seem our boy Harvey is at it again-by usurping the chain of command: UNCLASSIFIED// FM COMUSFLTFORCOM NORFOLK VA//N00// TO ALFLTFORCOM ALPACFLT INFO RHMFIUU/CNO WASHINGTON DC//N00/N1/DNS// RHOVZCH/COMPACFLT PEARL HARBOR HI//N00/N01/N1// RUCBCLF/COMUSFLTFORCOM NORFOLK VA//N1// RHMFIUU/COMNAVPERSCOM

John Cole has it right. The current crop in Congress is positively evil: Considering they haven’t created one job since taking office, and haven’t so much as advanced one plan to create jobs since they took office, and, mind you, presided over the worst economic collapse since the Depression, it’s

I’ve been out of pocket this weekend-down in Pensacola, playing golf at AC Read, watching the boats go across the sound, and catching up with some friends. He let me in on some very sad developments happening in our Navy-which I will proceed to document later this week. This, however,
