Brent Bozell wants to play with the Washington Post and, in particular, Ezra Klein. An okay start, I guess. But I can think of a few questions I’d like to see asked that didn’t make Bozell’s final list. For instance — 21) How did the experience of being repeatedly jammed into a gym locker as a tween influence your politics and sense of “progressive” advocacy? 22) Is it true that

Boston Globe: The Massachusetts Legislature has approved a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system and ensure that the winner of the presidential election is determined by the national popular vote. “What we are submitting is the idea that the president should be selected by the majority of people in the United States of America,” Senator James B.

Democrat James Webb gets his institutionalized racism on in the WSJ: The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed. But the extrapolation of this logic to all “people of color”—especially since 1965, when new immigration laws dramatically altered the demographic makeup of the

I’m going to quote something I wrote just after the Sherrod video was made public: If she was taken out of context, then Breitbart is no better than, say, those who took Limbaugh, Bennett, et al., out of context to advance their own aims.
