All politics this week I’m afraid.<\/p>\n

  • I’m starting to warm to Marco Rubio<\/a>. Anyone who takes the Social Security issue seriously has a good mark in my book. And Crist is worthless<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  • Ta-Nehisi Coates destroys<\/a> the idea that the Civil War wasn’t about slavery while commenting<\/a> on the worship of Robert E. Lee. In response to his question of whether you can admire someone who fought for a bad cause, I’d say yes. Many of our WW 2 veterans had great admiration for the German and Japanese soldiers.<\/li>\n
  • How on Earth is Marc Thiessen taken seriously<\/a>? His entire existence is based around dishonestly vindicating the shitty record of the Bush Administration.<\/li>\n
  • Reason dig in<\/a> to figure out why Texas was immune from the worst of the housing bubble. My theory? In Texas, houses are for livin’, not money makin’.<\/li>\n

  • I’m just so happy that baseball is back<\/a>.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
