Arianna Huffington: 2009: The Things I Want to Forget

This is very good. And very depressing. 2009 can die already, so we can tramp the dirt down.

  • there has to come a point at which a movement or party so abandons core principles or degenerates into such a rhetorical septic system that you have to take a stand. It seems to me that now is a critical time for more people whose principles lie broadly on the center-right to do so - against the conservative degeneracy in front of us.
  • my attachment to the Anglo-American conservative political tradition, as I understand it, is real and deep and the result of sincere reflection on the world as I see it. And I want that tradition to survive because I believe it is a vital complement to liberalism in sustaining the genius and wonder of the modern West.

Op-Ed Columnist - Tidings of Comfort - NYTimes.com

You know - Krugman is right. We Americans have become far too good at complaining - so good at it, in fact, that we can fail to even see when something good happens. Thanks for these tidings of comfort! I feel better already.

Obama's Big Sellout : Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone article mentioned in last bookmark. "What's taken place in the year since Obama won the presidency has turned out to be one of the most dramatic political about-faces in our history. Elected in the midst of a crushing economic crisis brought on by a decade of orgiastic deregulation and unchecked greed, Obama had a clear mandate to rein in Wall Street and remake the entire structure of the American economy. What he did instead was ship even his most marginally progressive campaign advisers off to various bureaucratic Siberias, while packing the key economic positions in his White House with the very people who caused the crisis in the first place."
