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

That Bi-partisan Magic is Gone?

Right after meeting with Jay Leno, John McCain whisked up to Chi-town to ask for a job pay homage collect on his winning election bet.  The NYT reports that Barack won't be depleting the Senate by this one Republican.  With the fix on in Minnesota, there's no need to shift every dem's bff from his well-worn seat in the world's most deliberative body.

If John McCain did join the Obama administration, whether the Senate would have one less Republican is a matter for debate.

Perhaps, Aelfeld, a matter of definition.

That's probably what the debate would center on.
