Mike's Blog Round Up
December 18, 2014

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.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.
