But progressive Democrats are the ones with real reasons to be upset with her record and that of her family, which is among the wealthiest in America. Here are just a few: 1) Union-busting. Pritzker’s family businesses have often engaged in anti-union practices. She is a director of the Hyatt Hotels, which fired and then replaced long-time room cleaners in its Boston hotels with non-unio

Friday Nerd Blogging: The Eve of the Fourth
With tomorrow being May 4th, it is only good and proper that we mark the eve of that most awesome of nerd holidays with this video.

Is Syria Like Iraq?
Is Syria Like Iraq? By Joshua Landis, May 1, 2012, Syria Comment In my recent discussion with Murhaf Jouejati on PBS Newshour, I argued that the reason the US should avoid taking the lead in Syria is that the conflict is sectarian and resembles that of Iraq, where the US had little success. Murhaf took issue with my analysis arguing that Syria is not like Iraq. He said that Iraq was invaded and Sy

Sage And Spirit
(And so, as the world turns, again it is May. Time, then, to rerun this piece, and get with the sage.) The ancients were enamored with sage. So am I.

I eat the stuff, and I’m still knocking around. “Why,” demanded one Latin commentator, “should a man die who grows sage in his garden?” Beats me. Among the English,

The rise of the unpopular populists.
Ah, UKIP.  There are a number of ways you can explain the rise in support for Nigel Farage's unhappy band of monomaniacs, whether it be disaffection from modern society at large, disaffection with Cameron's Conservatives, a protest aimed at the main three parties, for which there are a whole variety of reasons, complete opposition to continued immigration, or, and this is possibly the least signif

McCormick Con Exposed the Truth about Iraq
It is tempting to treat the jailing of fake bomb detector salesman James McCormick as comedy, so risible were his completely bogus detectors. Indeed, one day I have no doubt we shall be seeing a television film treating him as a lovable rogue; the con-man figure is the staple of many movie plots. He will probably be played by Alfred Molina. But the seriousness of the case goes much wider than the
