Zogby International has released its fourth annual New Year's Eve poll, a telephone survey of 2,000 Americans commissioned by the good folks who bring you New Year's Eve in NYC's Times Square. The headline on the poll is a result you probably didn't need to poll on: Americans are less optimistic this New Year's than they were a year ago. But dig deeper into the poll for these nuggets: Two-thirds of all respondents said they will kiss a loved one at midnight but one in five said they will kiss no-one. more »Sunday, December 28

"The critical question, now that the administration is changing hands, is how to address the fact that the United States after September 11 adopted an official practice of cruel, inhuman, and degrading interrogation tactics, some of which . . . rose to the level of torture. Some... have argued that no further investigations, much less prosecutions, are needed, and we should simply move on . . " more »Saturday, December 27

Black Vs. Wolff re Murdoch
by
DavidAkin
on Sat 27 Dec 2008 08:38 PM EST
Black: "In style and organization, this is an irritating book. ...If sentences containing "iconic," transformative," "ridiculous," "being and nothingness," "fragile construct," and suspended endings ("well...") were omitted, the book would be at least 20 pages shorter." Wolff: " The fact, for instance, that Conrad Black is both a subject of my book and a convicted felon (i.e. he’s lied about the very issues I’m discussing) might ordinarily make him a suspect reviewer. But his true function on the Web is not to review, but to be outlandish, part of a new freak show." more »

Bothwell: Penguin History of Canada - The Depression

"MacKenzie King hadn't expected to lose the [1930] election; he resentfully vacated his office and retired to his country home, Kingsmere, north of Ottawa, to await events. Bennett was the one, therefore, who had to confront a problem so far beyond his imagining that it would undermine his health, his government, and his career. Canadians' choice of political leadership in 1930 meant that it was the Conservative who would offer the first solutions for the Depression.... (p. 328) That was just as well, for King had absolutely no idea how to fix the Depression, and it may have made matters worse that he was a trained economist, for orthodox economics had no solution to offer.
