    buddha4brains,

    I agree about the low-hanging fruit, but accusing American writers of terminal insularity is rather like leaving the top fruit for the birds.

    As though Dostoyevsky wasn't too sensitive to trends in his own mass culture. Perhaps Engdahl is too Eurocentric to represent the Nobel Committee. Great writers come from everywhere.

    Nippon5,

    I don't think I have blamed only one party for the failure of this bill. I think my initial premise was that it was strange to blame a Democrat for the failure of this bill when the Democrats voted for it in a fairly healthy majority.

    A simple Republican…

    Nippon5,

    What you seem to be saying is that if the Democrats had unanimously supported the bailout bill it would have passed. Yes, that is true. It is also true that if the Republicans had unanimously supported the bill it would have passed.

    It is also true that the bailout…

    Nippon5,

    I think it matters that Republicans voted "no" because the measure would have passed if no Republicans had voted at all.

    The presence of 235 Democrats assured a quorum and a majority of Democrats voted for it. It was the Republican vote that sank the measure. Surely Republican leaders…

    skipthesong,

    USARonin, I believe, was talking about Clinton. I was more or less suggesting that Clinton doesn't have anything to do with any investigation into Palin.

    USARonin,

    Didn't mean to neglect you. Computer problems here.

    Your question about "lip-service" was already asked and answered. McCain called for a meeting in which he said nothing. Obama responded to an invitation to join the meeting.

    JackDorff,

    Sorry not to have gotten back to you sooner. Computer problems.

    The situation you describe hardly amounts to being good buddies with the Taliban. There have always been elements within Pakistan that were sympathetic to or even advocates for the Taliban. In the late 90s, the government of Pakistan…

    Nippon5,

    Sorry not to have gotten back to you sooner. My computer went down.

    I think I know what you're trying to say about "insecurity and emotional illness". However, I don't think that really applies. It might have applied to Saddam, but not to Iraq--just as it might have applied…
