‘Dirty War’ Questions for the New Pope
If one wonders if the U.S. press corps has learned anything in the
decade since the Iraq War—i.e. the need to ask tough question and show
honest skepticism—it would appear from the early coverage of the
election of Pope Francis I that U.S. journalists haven’t changed at all,
even at “liberal” outlets like MSNBC.
The first question that a real reporter should ask about an Argentine
cleric who l
Too Big to Jail
The U.S. Attorney last week confirmed Americans’ fears about Wall

were also too big to jail.
That means bankers operate beyond the pale, outside the historical

resided, returning regularly to rampage. These days, bankers operate

not only entertaining, but informative. Not for its accuracy—the

The U.N.‘s Hypocritical War on Pot
The notion of alcohol consumers piously demanding that others stop

to the United Nations, that caricature gets an update—and the hypocrisy
is at once amusing and depressing.

I used to read the news headlines for fodder, though not anymore.
Politics and commerce—mostly the same thing—are easy subjects in that I
