Thomas Frank has written an informative and interesting book with keen insight into the unlikely and unexpected comeback of the Right after the election of Barack Obama. I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you about the book, "Pity the Billionaire: The Hard Times Swindle and the Unlikely Comeback of the Right." In many ways, the book has helped me, after asking myself again and again, "

"The Honored Dead" by Joseph Braude comes out today. It's the true story of a man named Muhammad who lost his best friend, a homeless man in Casablanca named Ibrahim, to violent death and couldn’t go on until he learned the reasons why. The author's drawn into the mystery. As they draw closer to secrets behind the crime, assumptions about friendship and their own lives began to unravel.The

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof was at Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University last night to talk about some of the topics he has discussed in his book "Half the Sky", written with his wife and partner-in-journalism, Sheryl WuDunn. He started his talk, much of it about weighty topics such as global poverty and the plight of exploited women around the world, with a light touch.

Here's MSNBC's David Schuster asking ex-GOP Congressman Tom Tancredo some tough questions. Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos totally upsets Tancredo's apple cart while presenting his point of view. I think, in his elitist mind, Tom Tancredo fancies himself a King facing down a peasant like Markos Moulitsas. I don't feel one bit sorry for Mr. Tancredo here. When faced with an uncomfortable truth about

When Arianna Huffington says, in her most recent column where she discusses President Obama one year after his election and 2008 Obama campaign manager David Plouffe's new book, "Most of the attention the book has gotten so far has focused on the so-called sexy parts," I am reminded of just how valuable she (and HuffPo) are in a media environment where we are NOT, as we SHOULD be if the Fourth

This is so sick it's hard to believe it's not a schtick. Health care costs must come down or this already-struggling U.S. economy will be dragged down in a disastrous way.

NYT political reporter Adam Nagourney is reporting that "Most polls suggest Democrats will lose the upstate New York House race." I hope the voters of NY Dist 23 will elect Bill Owens today. He's much closer, in his platform of ideas, to what they'd embraced when they supported Dede Scozzafava. To me, it seems to go against all small-d democratic principles to have strangers from almost anywhere

Kanye West's lack of grace at the VMA last night was sad, but a teachable moment for all of us. The quixotic Kanye rose in defense of a damsel he believed was in distress, battling the racism he perceives within the music industry, and greatly embarrassing both graceful and talented women. In contrast, cornered by media about racism, President Barack Obama and his Press Secretary Robert Gibbs

Censure Rep. Joe Wilson. Appearing on Fox News this morning, he says he refuses to publicly apologize to President Obama on the House floor. It speaks to his character. This is no statesman. His failure to take public (on the record) responsibility for his emotions is a political problem for Republicans on the Hill, whether or not Wilson believes the President has personally forgiven him.Pride

I couldn't help but notice [and capture] an ironic juxtaposition between the sign at the gas pump at which I was standing in the workaday world and the mention of the faith-filled gift implied within the very name of the modest "Gift of Love Ministry" directly across the street.

If the Reagan legacy has been a sacred cow for conservative ideologues these last twenty years or so, its near-mythical essence - after having been intelligently de-boned and stripped by Will Bunch in his new book - is seen in reality as more fast-food ground patty than juicy Ruth's Chris Porterhouse. Let's face it - a lot more hamburgers have been served to Americans under Golden Arches than

Romenesko is linking Forbes' list of The 25 most influential liberals in U.S. media. According to Forbes, Paul Krugman is Number One. I'm wondering: Where on earth is Steven Colbert?

Juan Cole is reporting that Israel has hit yet another UN school before ceasing fire. This will have been the fourth UN school to be shelled and, in this one, 1600 refugees were huddling from the airstrikes. More children are dead. Only two little boys dead - a small number, some may say. Ask their mothers how small.The rationalizing that so many are willing to do in order to defend Israeli

I'm pleased to know that Gov. David Paterson has chosen Kirsten Gillibrand to replace Senator Hillary Clinton. The new Sen. Gillibrand will not have to waste a second being brought up to speed on the unique and longstanding economic troubles that have plagued Upstate NY and that predate the current economic crisis by a good number of years.

This video isn't about propaganda or ideology. It's a video about real effects of war on children who have many questions, as you can well imagine. The video was created by Rula Mughrabi, 26 year-old Jordanian woman who works at a microfinance organization in Jordan.

Although some jokingly say New Year resolutions only go in one Year and out the other, I like what Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn has said about them:Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.What do you want to change about yourself in the coming year? Do

I have a comment to make about an article in today's New York Times by Jo Becker, Sheryl Gay Stolberg, and Stephen Labaton titled: "The Reckoning - White House Philosophy Stoked Mortgage Bonfire" [excerpt]:Mr. Bush says he will leave it to historians to analyze "what went right and what went wrong," as he put it in a speech last week to the American Enterprise Institute.Mr. Bush said he was too

Grover Norquist , who has said that bipartisanship is equal to date rape, is still at it. He's expecting that billions of dollars can be cut from state and federal budgets while not proposing an end to the biggest money-sucker of all - the Iraq war. Norquist has led an anti-intellectual movement that has made "tax" a word to which leaders have developed a professional allergy. [So-called] leaders
