Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009

Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

A little off message but we need a break...

We don't talk about Maureen Dowd much at Quid. What can we say that hasn't been said so well by so many?   But one of us has been harboring an unwholesome fascination for MD. so we thought we'd offer up this trifling as a sop to the dark side.  She (Maureen, that is) has  recently been bumped down the NYT pecking order by her older, smarter, and, until recently, embittered older sister, Frank Rich.

Kay S. Hymowitz is wonderful and she has done a very good bio of Michael Moore, as well.  City Journal is a gem  that deserves a wider audience.
