Bizzare that the Post ignores the major issues and focuses on the minor. It’s almost as if Fred Hiatt temporarily took over the rest of the A section.
Happy Holidays all.

@RussianSpectrum Your determination to avoid any responsibility for propagating trite. As for KP, I began reading it in 1982. You? @kolyav 
@DrLeoStrauss Those "memes" are already "mainstream" given the interview was in Komsomolskaya Pravda, Russia's most popular daily. @KolyaV - @RussianSpectrum So you say. Either way it is an attempt to mainstream odious and dubious memes. @KolyaV

At what point does falling for the flare off the back of an F-16 constitute not mere idiocy but indicia of a separate and lower phylum? Not a rhetorical question. Look at all the hysteria and superficial reaction to the Administration’s Potemkin offering on Monday (timed before the Sunday talk shows, of course) allegedly to [...]
Clooney’s ‘The American’: We Saw It So You Don’t Have To (Slightly Revised)
WHAT: Focus Film’s Clooney vehicle based on Brit Martin Booth’s 1990 novel ‘The American’. WHERE: A state-of-the-art multiplex theater nested in the heart of an Imperial City suburban enclave teaming with massive defense contracting presences and nearby government installations. THE AUDIENCE: Theater 45% filled, average age probably mid 50s, three or so younger couples in [...]
State of Play Spring 2013
Enough time has passed since the election for us to ask “What precisely has been learned?” Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, “Not much”. Our politics remain inert and non-enrolling because there aren’t any, aside from the febrile paroxysms within the Movement. We remain isolated and suspended, our very expression of self denied by the suffocating paralysis of [...]
Chinese Policy On America – Let Them Drift Away . . .
Much ado regarding Chinese CP Chairman Hu’s visit to the States. We’ve all seen the Chinese military’s slap at Gates during his recent visit. Testing their still embryonic 5th generation fighter also a pointed embarrassment — again — to the undeniably shaky Chinese civilian control over the PLA and its sprawling infrastructure. Hu’s doing his [...]

I just noticed that the WP has a permanent link to Onion headlines on its homepage. Hey, why not! Journalism is SO FUN!
Correction – The above quote is from 1975 not 1974.
“I don’t think he [Robert Frost] was a big man in the sense that Pound or Eliot were. – Pound probably had the finest ear as far as the English language is concerned, but he never stayed with one style and developed it. He was an innovator, but he had a philosophy which didn’t really hang together. The fact that he called one book Personae, or “masks,” is reflective of his poetry and the different facades he had. I don’t think anyone ever took Pound’s politics seriously. It was another mask. I think it was part of that kaleidoscopic side of Pound. I don’t think he was an integrated man. – [T.S.] Eliot was a whole man. He’s monumental. I have a tremendous respect for his consistancy.”
