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.
Leaving the Right - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
-
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.

I really like how Krugman puts things into perspective.
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."

Op-Ed Columnist - A Dangerous Dysfunction - NYTimes.com
Unless some legislator pulls off a last-minute double-cross, health care reform will pass the Senate this week. Count me among those who consider this an awesome achievement. It’s a seriously flawed bill, we’ll spend years if not decades fixing it, but it’s nonetheless a huge step forward.... It was, however, a close-run thing. And the fact that it was such a close thing shows that the Senate — and, therefore, the U.S. government as a whole — has become ominously dysfunctional.
Drew Westen: Leadership, Obama Style, and the Looming Losses in 2010: Pretty Speeches, Compromised Values, and the Quest for the Lowest Common Denominator
Yeah... I'm disillusioned. I've been taking a "wait and see" attitude to give this administration a chance to fix all the screw ups of the previous administration, but it seems this one is making some of their own messes, as well as continuing in the footsteps of its predecessors' mistakes in some areas. And this time it can't all be blamed on Bush, or the far right nutjobs (although some of it can, for sure!) Sadly, hope is dwindling. I think our government is broken. More on that from Paul Krugman (next link).
