Arundhati Roy's treatment of Samuel Huntingdon on the US invasion and bombing of South Vietnam as "urbanisation" reminds me of Orwell's 1946 "Politics and The English Language." Christopher Lasch mentions it in his book...

A very good man, Bob Kinsey, whom I've known and respected for his civic leadership and integrity ran for the U.S. Senate as a Green Party candidate. He ran two years ago and garnered 50,000 votes. Of course he lost yesterday...

Lol! Happened to me yesterday. I had to repeat three times the same really dull but long message to a friend of mine. On the forth attempt (I have an Ipad which makes those things happen easily) I probably wrote the angriest message I will ever w...

David, After reviewing Chang's book, I agree that I overstated the argument that he made regarding protectionist policies and their design to benefit the citizenry. That's what I get for writing without reviewing first.&...
