I've seen more expressions of anti-semitism from the European left than I would ideally like to see. Of course, I'd ideally like to see none, so that's not saying much. And I'm referring to actual anti-semitism here, not criticisms of Israeli policy. If strident criticisms...

Warning: The following is long, rambling, inconclusive and pointless. Read at your own risk. Most of you have probably figured out that Rob is the Guns and Scott is the.
Not much time to post. A few thoughts from Colorado. 1) Running and drinking cheap red wine, when done excessively, can cause significant problems. They cause those problems much, much.

Through See the Forest, I find a link to Matt Stoller's excellent post on different forms of partisanship. I don't think he's entirely fair in his critique of league of wonkish centrist bloggers (Yglesias/Drum/Kleiman/Marshall), although he's certainly on to something there.
