June 30, 2013 The Honorable Barack H. Obama President of the United States of America The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write to you because we have become certain that the United States must pursue a new policy in regards to Pakistan. We are certain that Pakistan […]
Georgians and Genomes The independent socialist George Orwell (1903–1950) was, it’s said, a central influence on the neo-conservative Christopher Hitchens (1949–2012). But this claim puzzles me.

It is thought to have its roots in our hunter-gatherer past, where the experience of being forcibly co-opted into a new band of hunter-gatherers was a not uncommon occurrence. Usually it is viewed […]
It may enrage most all readers to hear it — but I like the$PLC. Let me revise that statement — I like the website of the $PLC. I have never, and will never give them a dime. I have never, and will never buy any of the junk they sell on their stupid corner of […]
Samantha Power’s nomination as UN Ambassador is not going over well with some in the Israel Lobby. The JTA reports that the hardline Zionist Organization of America is opposed to her.
