A Cold Welcome for Dan Coats

February 3, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

Absolutely brutal – and spot on – email from the state party: On behalf of Hoosiers everywhere, we’d like to welcome back Dan Coats to the State of Indiana. After more than a decade working, living, and voting in Washington,…

Brilliant look at Evan Bayh & weak-kneed Dems on #HCR, through football metaphors

January 31, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

Clipped from vagabondscholar.blogspot.com Bayh and the Blue Dog Democrats remind me of the Cincinnati Bengals of the 90s under owner Mike Brown. One sportscaster called them “an embarrassment to sport,” as in, the entire human endeavor of sports, where a…

Ezra Klein on the implications of Obama’s question time with House GOP

January 30, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

Good analysis of the implications of Obama’s question time with GOP that I’ve seen – though it’s interesting that Klein loves that a policy debate broke out, but then emphasizes the political implications of that debate. I’m also unsure whether…

Obama’s problem with “the vision thing” – Jeffrey Feldman on what was left out of the #SOTU

January 28, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

Sharp analysis, and Feldman even provides an excellent solution for Obama to adapt what he is saying into what he should be saying to communicate his big-picture view of America. Clipped from jeffrey-feldman.typepad.com No matter how strong President Obama’s performance…

Taibbi rips Brooks’ moral relativism – it’s not about class, it’s about crime!

January 28, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

In his expletive-laden, take-no-prisoners style, Matt Taibbi rips David Brooks’ latest NYT column trying to defend the indefensible behavior of the big banks. I love that Taibbi admits (unlike most journalists) to being a part of the same upper class…

Digby: “Until Democrats take conservative ideology head on…”

January 26, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

As usual, Digby provides the perspective, the analysis, and the spark we need to reframe this issue. Clipped from digbysblog.blogspot.com Now the truth of the matter is that “Reagan proved deficits don’t matter” because he left a much higher deficit…

Eric Alterman: I Just Can’t Hate John Edwards

January 23, 2010 · by Brian · in Politics

I have to agree with Dr. A on this one. As an early Edwards supporter and donor, I do feel betrayed by his (and Elizabeth’s) continuing lies. But there’s more than a bit of mirth from the people who mocked…

Vanity Fair’s A A Gill visits the Creation Museum

January 22, 2010 · by Brian · in Faith

Faith without mystery, without question & doubt, and without metaphor is no longer alive – it’s just kitsch. At least, that’s my takeaway from this piece, and it explains why so much Christian rock is terrible. Clipped from www.vanityfair.com It…

About the #pX Hashtag

December 11, 2009 · by Brian · in Faith, Tech

While browsing through my friends’ updates on Twitter, I was struck by the lack of a hashtag to aggregate all the smart and provocative content that Christian liberals were creating. After checking with a few influential Twitterers to make sure…
