Yesterday people got to write me off as "far left." Today I find that I'm "on the left." Tomorrow I might be sitting in your lap, America…
I shouldn't be cute. A long time ago I read some theory of power that holds that only so many people sit at the table on various issues. On Israel, it was always: the U.S. government and the Israel lobby, with maybe some official interlopers. State Department Arabists, Brookings types. Well now the neocons are going to be sitting at the card table they got out for the kids, and the left will be at that table too…
