...writing would be without editors. Thousands of bloggers think, for reasons wholly unknown, that we care about what they had for breakfast or the saga of their leaking refrigerators. Conventional journalists, like Alex Beam in the Boston Globe, have seized on these slice-of-life bloggers to condemn the whole movement as justification of their own privileged status as those few who should be trusted to wield the pen in a public forum. Beam is half right—the world needs thrice daily updates on somebody’s leaking fridge like the world needs leaking refrigerators...
...called for a “jihad” against Israel. Arafat’s message worked: the first female suicide bomber struck Israel that same day. A week later, in a Feb. 3 op-ed piece to the New York Times, Arafat wrote, “I condemn the attacks carried out by terrorist groups against Israeli civilians.” This was his message to America and, ostensibly, to Israel.

Democracies have to get their “hands dirty” according to Dershowitz, who took a few more seconds to leap over the Constitution, the Geneva Accords, the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man, and any other treaty outlawing torture. And Dershowitz was merciful too?...
...believes that since laws have been put in place to ‘equalize’ things, everyone has equal opportunity.” Indeed, Loury explains that since our country’s laws (as well as its ideals of freedom, democracy and equal opportunity) condemn racism, many Americans see policies that explicitly take race into account as unnecessary, or even as a sort of “reverse racism.” At this point, the popular discourse on race offers two options: do we consider race or do we ignore it completely when creating new policies...
