    • PRISM: Solving for X (Ashkan Soltani, 6/14/13)
      "I thought it would be a fun exercise to describe PRISM based on information publicly available through the press, private companies, and the DNI. Specifically, how would this system look if we took all the statements made at face value? This might be a stretch, but it seems like a worthwhile exercise – not unlike a multivariate equation when one or mor […]
    • Immigration enforcement: a trojan horse? (Buttar, BORDC)
      "Comprehensive immigration reform, along with the fiscal cliff and sequester, has recently dominated Washington. But observers have overlooked how calls for stronger immigration enforcement could undermine the rights of not only immigrants, but also US citizens." […]
    • How Obama lost his voice, and how he can get it back (Marshall Ganz, Nov'10, LATimes)
      Accurate surface observations, but I think Obama was always non-transformational at heart. He didn't lose his voice--he stopped throwing it.. -- "Transformational" leadership engages followers in the risky and often exhilarating work of changing the world, work that often changes the activists themselves. Its sources are shared values that bec […]
    • American Assassinations For Dummies (Ames, NSFWCorp)
      " ignorance of the history of assassination policy runs right through today, with the repetition of another myth: That President Obama’s extrajudicial drone-assassinations of American citizens is "unprecedented" and "radical" and that "not even George Bush targeted American citizens." The truth is a lot worse and a lot more […]

      "Starting with results of the Nazi elimination of diagnosed schizophrenics, Levine re-examines the evidence for the heritability of mental illness and offers some suggestions about Western civilization and our shared humanity. If a nation murdered and sterilized an estimated 73 percent to 100 percent of its diagnosed schizophrenics, yet a generation lat […]
    • 2013 Presidential Address (Berube, MLA Convention)
      "The working conditions of college faculty are ultimately the learning conditions for college students.

    • Misguided Social Security ‘Reform’ - NYTimes.com
      "elderly households tend to have lower incomes and lower expenditures than younger households, and that more of their purchases are for needs that cannot be met by switching to products and services in unrelated categories. That indicates that they do not have the same flexibility as younger households to respond to price changes while still maintaining […]
    • The Truth about Aaron Swartz’s “Crime” (Stamos, "Unhandled Exception")
      Expert witness for the defense demolishes case against the young Internet activist and prodigy who took his life earlier this weekend: "Aaron Swartz was not the super hacker breathlessly described in the Government’s indictment and forensic reports, and his actions did not pose a real danger to JSTOR, MIT or the public. He was an intelligent young man w […]
    • The Myth Of Hitler’s Gun Ban (The Propaganda Professor)
      "Hitler really did enact a new gun law. But it was in 1938, not 1935 – well after the NAZIs already had the country in its iron grip. Furthermore, the new law in many ways LOOSENED gun restrictions. For example, it greatly expanded the numbers who were exempt, it lowered the legal age of possession from 20 to 18, and it completely lifted restriction on […]

UPDATE, 8/13: The Editor & Publisher’s Joe Strupp reports: “The Washington Post has no plans to withdraw its co-sponsorship of a controversial Sept. 11 memorial walk being organized by the Department of Defense, according to Publisher Bo Jones. But, he said the paper would pull out if the event turns out to be some kind of pro-war or political march.” (Via The Left Coaster) The walk concludes with a concert by Clint Black; Strupp concludes his article with the lyrics of Black’s country hit, “Iraq and I roll.” The Washington Post: stupid? Servile? Both? Our lines are open — you make the call!
UPDATE, 8/17: Post Drops Plan to Promote Pentagon Event
UPDATE, 8/22: Sunday New York Times lead editorial: “The event is an ill-considered attempt to link the Iraq war to the terrorist attacks of 2001, and misguided in almost every conceivable way.”
