Andy's back, and he's pissed. The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they're called Republicans. This is an almost seventeenth century piece of public sectarianism and anti-Catholic bigotry. But.
Don't have much to say yet about the investigation into Larry Franklin for sending secrets to Israel. If you're interested, check out Juan Cole, who has an extensive analysis, and this.
In response to a request for more baseball blogging. . . Ichiro Suzuki became the first player to get 200 hits in each of his first four major league seasons last night. The 200th hit came on a home run. Ichiro is now on pace for...
Once again, Muqtada Al-Sadr challenges the Occupation, and once again the confrontation ends with him still breathing. This is a terribly conceived war, and I never really held out much.

Gadflyer has a nice piece, via Pandagon, detailing the increasing strength of conservative groups on campus. But beyond anger, the defining characteristic of cultural populists is that they view themselves as.
I've mentioned before that Tacitus.org is a pretty pointless blog when Tac himself isn't posting. Harley, the liberal, is decent but hardly anything special. The rest don't do anything but.
