Mike's Blog Round Up
October 18, 2015

Alright, that's it for me this week. See you again in December, by which time, of course, the Republican Party will have finally come to its senses, tossed Trump and Carson to the curb, and, in an effort to revitalize itself as a credible national party, embraced moderate, broadly appealing policy positions on a range of issues in place of the 1%-enriching, climate-denying, science-bashing, gun-fetishizing, poor-oppressing, Other-vilifying, Christianist-moralizing, flag-draped warmongering ways to which it currently subscribes, and has subscribed for a long time now. Or not.

Horizons: Why Jeb Bush is in serious trouble.

Taylor Marsh: The clock is ticking for Joe Biden.

The Left Coaster: Obama could have apologized to us.

Scary Lawyer Guy: The curious case of the disappearing deficit.

The Brad Blog: The unspeakable price of the failed "War on Drugs."

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.)
