2007-10-25 13:49  Allt närmare ett amerikanskt terrorkrig mot Iran.
D et är allt svårare att se hur världen kan undvika ett amerikanskt terrorkrig mot Iran. Vad som gör situationen oändligt många gånger värre än för bara några månader sedan är att Rudy Giuliani, den republikanske huvudkandidaten, nu har omslutet sig med neokonservativa rådgivare och nu börjar agitera för ett amerikanskt bomkbrig mot Iran. Det är inte som om president Bush direkt behöver hjälp med att starta kriget. Robin Wright skriver i Washington Post om hur Bush-regeringen nu tar ännu ett sto …

2007-10-19 21:00  A Lever of Change in Iran
By Michael Rubin, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and co-author, with Patrick Clawson, of "Eternal Iran: Continuity and Chaos" (THE WASHINGTON POST, 19/10/07): Last Thursday two dozen political activists and organizations signed a statement drafted by the National Iranian American Council calling on Congress to cut off Iranian civil society funding. The signatories - who ranged from representatives of billionaire philanthropist George Soros to the group The World Can't Wa …

2007-10-14 13:39  Fumble! (with notes on the coherence of the TV text and the new season)
I agree with Heather Havrilesky and lots of other people that Friday Night Lights is in trouble. It might have been better for the show to have ended last season. Then we would have had our memories and our State Championship and our righteous anger at the greedy capitalist philistines of NBC. The show would have lived on as a glorious single season and an eternal what-if, a worthy successor in the teen TV before-their-time pantheon to My So-Called Life and Freak and Geeks. But now we may have t …

I'd been meaning to post a link to this piece in 5th October's Guardian, as it summed up a lot of my feelings on the matter. While not supporting a generalised boycott of Israeli academia, I have some misgivings about such a boycott's having been declared unlawful, especially as no reasons have been given in support of such an opinion. The threats cited by Dr Gopal to academic freedom in the United States are well-known: Organisations such as Campus Watch monitor what academics write and teach, …

Chapter 4: Everybody Dies Six years before Jacob Mallow was a bright young man, the interviewer decided.  His eyes were wide and always searching, so he looked lost, but he would probably contribute to some graduate program in bioengineering just not this one.   The interviewer glanced at Jacob s folder and knew he wouldn t get in.  His test scores and grades were as exceptional as those of any plausible candidate.   Hell, he hadn t even heard of the St. Louis college Jacob had attended.

2007-10-13 00:32  Nobel or Noble
That the Nobel œPeace Prize is really the Nobel Political Prize has been obvious for a long time. I suppose that one has no right to complain. The universe has room for many and varied prizes. One for the individual or group that most admirably advances, or suffers in behalf of, œprogressive ideals is fine. It does, however, tell us a bit about the current state of the progressive mindset when one considers, as the weekend Wall Street Journal did, a list of those who did not receive the acco …

2007-10-12 20:18  Liar, Rigoberta Menchu
I think it's time to put together a series on leftist icons and the reality behind them. For the first entry, I choose Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu. The fact that she's a fraud hasn't much diminished Rigoberta Menchu's status with the PC Left. She didn't have to give back her Nobel Peace Prize and her book is still quite the hit with the stooges of Academia. Her story is just too "good", so its veracity, in the tradition of agit-prop, matters little. Who cares, eg. that her allege …

The ultranationalists, led by head of the liberal union Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the corrupt, homophobic, billionaire Moscow Mayor Yuri Lushzkov and leftist, the so-called "Black General" Albert Makashov, as well as the head of the Communist Party in Russia Gennady Zyuganov are behind the crackdown on democracies, even inside the country. They dream of restoring the Soviet Union to all its crumbling, dysfunctional glory. They dream of seeing the United States under a red flag (seriously). -- Tsotne …

Strangely enough, one of my areas of expertise is musicology.

Aren't you glad I gave that up I have been out of the research loop for a number of years now, and so it is only today that I became aware of the sad and Kafkaesque story of "Nalini Ghuman, an up-and-coming musicologist and expert on the …

This is a follow up to a post just below on the revelations coming out on the Colorado Northwest Parkway a/k/a Tollroad lease. I started to put it into comments, but the details are too long for a comment. Two years ago, the unbossed Roads Scholars series broke the news that the E-470 tollroad was not some public-private market miracle. Rather it was built on backroom deals that were not in the interest of the citizens. In fact, there was no real market where the best competitor wins out by prov …

What Do Adon Olam and ס"ט Mean [1] by By Marc B. Shapiro ס"ט 1. People often refer to me as a Modern Orthodox intellectual. There are actually quite a number of us out there. If you hear someone using words like œontological, œexistential, œmimetic, and now, œtergiversation [2] you can assume he in in our club. Also, another telltale sign is that when we give divrei Torah you will hear us refer to Philo, the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha (if we are confident that we can pronounce the word …

2007-09-04 10:09  O'Hanlon's Sloppy 'State of Iraq' Reports
The Brookings Institute publishes a quarterly short report about "The State of Iraq". It is a collection of various criteria, numbers measuring these and a short interpretating note.

Colonization What effect did this enormous expansion in world trade have on standards of living across the globe Some believe that the explosion in world trade (and in international migration) put substantial downward pressure on the wages of labor in the labor-scarce land- and resource-rich parts of the periphery (North America, the southern cone of South America, Australia and New Zealand), gave a boost to real wages in labor-abundant Europe, and raised the returns to owners of capital on both …

2007-09-02 17:12  First Person: Teachers Union Undermines Arabic-Language School
Imagine a Latina principal being hounded out of her job because she defended a Latina empowerment group s Che Guevara T-shirts. Imagine an African-American principal being hounded out of her job because she defended an African-American girls empowerment group s Malcolm X T-shirts. Neither scenario is far-fetched. But in either of the above scenarios, we d know it wasn t about the T-shirts. However, this basic fact has been obscured in the recent takedown of Debbie Almontaser, the veteran Brookly …

2007-09-02 16:25  Clinton's first hurdle: Gender
by David Lightman For more than 30 years, Ella Grasso has been regarded as a trailblazer. When she won the Connecticut governorship in a landslide in 1974, the rumpled, salty-tongued daughter of an Italian immigrant became the first of a line of strong women elected to top offices in the state. Several women have followed in her footsteps in Connecticut. So as the 2008 presidential election campaign unfolds, it would seem logical for Connecticut Democrats to line up enthusiastically behind Hilla …
