If someone criticizes your position, go for the anti-Semitic angle: Ahh the covetous shylock...

The four co-sponsors present, as follows: Sen. John McCain, R, Arizona Sen. Joe Lieberman, D, Connecticut Rep. Frank Wolf, R, Virginia Rep. Tom Lantos, D, California I walked in during their introductory statements, maybe five minutes late. Rep. Wolf was speaking when I walked in. Of the four congressmen, he’s the one you’re least likely to have heard of, which is a shame. Rep. Wolf seemed to belong in the presence of giants and spoke cogently about the importance of...

The views expressed in this blog are those of the authors alone. They are not the views of any other organization, entity, agency, company–in short, of anyone but the author. They are imperfect, flawed, occasionally veer wildly toward complete non-sequiturs. They often border on the seditious. Perfect solutions to the crises in North Korea have never existed; the good ones left town in 1945, and the less dangerous ones were last seen in 1994. From the few murky facts we...

Who Is Christine Ahn? North Korea is...
