Quote For The Day
“The economic arguments against independence seem not to be working — and may even be backfiring. I think I know why. Telling a Scot, ‘You can’t do this — if you do, terrible things will happen to you,’ has been a losing negotiating strategy since time immemorial. If you went into a Glasgow pub tonight … Continue reading Quote For The Day
Where The Hard Left Says No
The rescinding of an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not exactly an act of punishment. No one has a right to any such degree and Brandeis is fully within its rights to breach basic manners and fail to do basic research about an honoree’s past work. And Ayaan has indeed said some intemperate … Continue reading Where The Hard Left Says No
Dissents Of The Day
A reader fisks me: With every word you wrote here, I questioned more and more whether this was the same person I read religiously day after day. Your defense of Jon Karl is complete and utter nonsense. When he and I were at TNR together, I saw nothing in him but good sense, good humor, … Continue reading Dissents Of The Day

Later on, Andrew picked apart the latest evidence implicating … Continue reading The Daily Wrap

We also provided our usual eclectic mix religious, books, and cultural coverage.

The Daily Wrap
Andrew was back in fighting form today on the Dish, shredding Paul Ryan's "zombie Reagonomics" and eviscerating Niall Ferguson's fact-lite Obama takedown. Later, Andrew discredited Continetti's claims of Obama partisanship, urged aginst using the word "hate" on discussing FRC and praised Mitt for allowing a reporter to attend a church service with him. In the … Continue reading The Daily Wrap
China Should Save Syria?
That's Niall Ferguson's suggestion. I'm delighted he sees the limits of American power and the need for more global responsibility from China. I loved this passage: In terms of geopolitics, China today is the world’s supreme free rider. China’s oil consumption has doubled in the past 10 years, while America’s has actually declined.
