That confused me too.
I’m not a New Yorker, or even an East Coaster. Can the city do better? They seem to like flamboyant types and at least he’s not a plutocrat or Chuck Schumer.

Thanks for the Mort Sahl video. He had a hard row to hoe back in the 60′s.

Pepe makes the most sense but don’t you think the Rand Corp.’s Chivvis is the best indicator of where the administration is going?

Huh. Well, you obviously know more about it than I do. I was a resident, though not a voter, 1997 to 2000 and came into contact with both Morella and Van Hollen through the Million Mom March. It was pretty clear even then that Van Hollen was as you describe him.

Montgomery Co. MD might as well have stuck with liberal Republican Connie Morella. She was well-liked (and I think had more character than Van Hollen) but gerrymandering and the rise of an insane Republican faction gave Van Hollen the edge.

Interesting. And surreal in a Versailles kind of way. I wonder if these attempts at humor work for anyone outside the Beltway.

Not your bad. She was also head of U.S. Amnesty before PEN.

The woman you refer to, Suzanne Nossel, was Chief Operating Officer of Human Rights Watch at some point in 2010/11. She founded a blog named, appropriately, Democracy Arsenal. Mondoweiss with link to piece by Colleen Rowley & Ann Wright on Nossel and corruption of AI here.

Not sure what you mean, but the U.S. Hindu community (Sunil is a Hindu name) is not known for radicalism so I was dumbfounded when initial reports came out.

So Chechen. Less inexplicable than Indian-American.

Good thing Bloomberg has CEOs in New York under surveillance.

Glad you said that so I didn’t have to. Both Karen and Maa had odd takes on Sirota’s piece. Some people just don’t seem to like him.

ksix commented on the blog post Democrats Push Back Against Obama Budget As Republicans Take Advantage
Maddow was fine, except for mischaracterizing Obama’s relationship with Elizabeth Warren, but will she now invite an actual progressive onto her show to put the cuts in wider context and elaborate on the dangers Obama’s proposals represent to the system as we know it? If not, she’s not much use. I guess I’ll never know since I can’t stand to watch that snappy, superficial format.

Here’s the link to the Russell Brand commentary on growing up in the Thatcher zeitgeist. It’s really very good, isn’t it?

Perhaps, but I wasn’t referring to your comments and also had in mind comments I read in the last post on this issue.
