A Question Ahmadinejad Won’t Answer
Judith Shulevitz reviews Nicholas Wade’s “The Faith Instinct” and sums up his argument thusly: (R)eligions are machines for manufacturing social solidarity. They bind us into groups. Long ago, codes requiring altruistic behavior, and the gods who enforced them, helped human … Continue reading

Sarah’s signature issue rises from the graveyard of debunkery: Bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgement of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of healthcare. It’s classic boilerplate delivered by a woman with an opulently-hoisted … Continue reading
It Takes Sixty Votes
So I took a cursory look at some bookmarks, and found that Joe Lieberman spoke out against the public option on June 16, July 1, October 27th, and November 1. In other words, with Republicans pledging to “just say no” … Continue reading
Hamsher Jumps The Couch
Enough already. Her website has been in serious decline, she’s been leading half the progressive blogosphere to scream “kill the bill” along with David Sirota, she’s gone on Fox News contrary to her own call to boycott Fox News, and … Continue reading
