A dude at the school told me this, and it was the first question I asked "Then why don't you have bagels?", and he thought I was being funny. But I wasn't.
I read the 7th Harry Potter book in a couple days this weekend. Worst pacing I've ever seen in a novel. I don't think she realized she was writing the defining book in her series for 300 pages and then scrambled for the next 300 to tie all the nonsense she was spouting in the first.
Better asteroid-disaster movie: Deep impact or Armageddon?
Wants: DVDs and BOOKS.
DISLIKES: long hair and lack of toothpaste.
One of the things I love about reading Glenn Greenwald is left-leaning blogs tendencies to link every time he goes after a right-wing hypocrisy, but ignoring the complete tenacity in his defending of his civil liberties values against the clear hypocrisy of the Obama Admin.
Here Greenwald goes up against Matthew Yglesias, to be sure one of the most reasonable and entertaining bloggers on foreign policy, about Yglesias' claim that Obama's disturbing record on civil liberties is understandable because that's how the executive branch works. This is a post that will not be linked.
However, a post like this will get linked like wildfire. Greenwald, of course, quite possibly could be short-sighted and underestimating the difficulties of governing in a time like this (and Yglesias' main point is probably correct), but it is quite refreshing to never see Greenwald back down from his values.
