With U.S.-Cuba relations finally normalizing, and with retrograde Cold War-minded Republicans (i.e., all of them) predictably freaking out (because American foreign policy should be restricted to palling around with brutal right-wing dictators like Pinochet, Noriega, etc., ad nauseam, let's get right to it:
Frankly Curious: Obama's bad bet on Republicans.
Beggars Can Be Choosers: Exodus and the Bible's dishonesty.
The Rude Pundit: Maybe cops should stop killing people.
Zandar Versus the Stupid: A nation of bloodthirsty monsters.
Bonus: The evil of banality, or why Americans might not be so cool with torture.
