I can't say I'm surprised: the grassroots antiwar movement keeps turning out to be MoveOn/A.N.S.W.E.R. astroturf.

Things that can't go on forever, won't. Debts that can't be paid, won't be.

One reason that a lot of people see me as cheerful and optimistic is that my expectations are really rather low.

Where the U.N. is concerned, accountability is very thin on the ground in general.

Democrats don't represent the taxpayers, they represent the tax-consumers.

When people say things like "don't let this moment pass without acting on gun control," what they're really saying is our arguments are so unpersuasive that they can only succeed when people aren't thinking clearly.

That's the thing about conspiracy theories: in a comforting sort of way, they give rise to the feeling that someone, somewhere, knows what's going on.
