• In Defense of “Milk Toast” Republicanism

  
  American Conservative Daily — Authority: 462
  No, I am not going to defend milk toast Republicans. I am going to defend my use of the word “milk toast” to describe them because apparently there are some people that do not know what Milk Toast is and think that they are pretty darn smart when in fact their information and knowledge is lacking. In addition ...

• Henry McDonalds "Gunsmoke & Mirrors": Book Review

  
  Blogtrotter — Authority: 120
  The blurb makes this book sound more like first-person interviews with IRA men. Its not that personal. See my review of his earlier memoir, "Colours," for a more intimate take on growing up among the Official IRA, the Marxist wing (aka Sticks, Stickies) as well as other Northern Irish cultural and political contexts. ...

  yglesias : Medicare is an important exception to all these trends. It’s not a program for poor people, it’s a program for old people.

• MLA joins Fianna Fáil

  
  Irish Election — Authority: 540
  Gerry McHugh, until this morning an Independent MLA, has joined Fianna Fáil. He becomes the first person to represent the party in a parliament other than the Oireachtas, I believe (Dev didn’t sit). It seems to signal their entry into Northern politics. McHugh was a Sinn Féin representative for Fermanagh/South ...

  The New Republic - The Plank Feed — Authority: 141
    Jon Meacham is clearly an intelligent person and skilled writer, but his judgment about America and what America needs is somewhat inferior to that of my cat Lexie. Last November, he was telling us that the election affirmed the nation’s conservatism. Now he is urging Dick Cheney to run for president in ...

  The Pensive Quill — Authority: 415
  There are few things that sum up the failure of the Provisional IRA campaign more definitively than the recent call by one of its former leaders for people to inform on those republicans still wedded to the notion of armed struggle. It is not an isolated action but one that slots in neatly to the current mode in Sinn ...
