Remind me, does MJ Rosenberg include Brooks in his list of alter kockers (along with David Mamet and others)?
I would much prefer that the U.S. had a fluid party system as some parliamentary governments do. But even to break the party duopoly in America would require fundamental legal changes that aren't on the horizon at the moment. Something that's worth working for.
I've thought about Hagel running for President in 2016. I won't rehearse all the logic, but I think his best odds would be to switch parties and run as a Democrat, and those are long odds.
AJC says: "But in light of his complex record in the Senate..."
Not good to have a complex record in the Senate. Must be simple and clear.
Do the Senators have a rational strategy in this case? Hagel is still expected to be confirmed, so what are they trying to do?
Hagel must be enraged by this. Should they be concerned that his response after being confirmed will be to do the opposite of what they want him to do, or as little of it as he can get away with?
Are they setting up a confrontation with the Administration, which seems to be moving in the wrong direction as they see it? If so, how risky is that? Do they know for sure that they can prevail when the time comes?
It seems to me that it can't just be about campaign contributions. And the word "intimidation" doesn't even seem strong enough. It seems more like they're under control.
I get the sense that some kind of reckoning is coming soon. I don't know how it will play out.
The two-state solution is a solution to a problem. The problem is the public relations challenge associated with a gradual takeover of the West Bank. The solution is to talk about the two-state solution until the takeover is finished.
I don't think Obama won the battle, but I think he got closer to winning the war. He's just running out the clock at this point. My biggest fear is that Romney will close the gap enough that some faceless committee of people will decide that they can steal the election for him.
And poor James North should just get rid of his television. Life is too short for tedious, centrist, dull, unchallenging TV programs.
Much better than nothing. By the way, and help me out here, but is he also joking by putting himself in the position of God? "...you have nothing to atone for to me..."
Obama referring to Israel: "They're one of our closest allies in the region."
That way of saying it seems significant, too.
