http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/81444-trumps-america/page-19&do=findComment&comment=1816618 I'm really confused by what prompted this post. I'm also confused by ZRod's stance here, as he's I believe quite liberal, so it appears he's sticking to a rather pedantic point about...

Eliot Cohen: 'A Clarifying Moment in American History' Eliot Cohen served as a counselor in the Bush Administration State Department from 2007 to 2009 and was one of the first and strongest proponents of "regime change" in Iran and Iraq. He has also been a steadfast #NeverTrump voice.

Senator Chris Murphy from CT wrote an op ed today. It's worth reading for a lot of reasons. Here, he lays out the case that this has made America less safe. I wholeheartedly agree.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/26/opinion/how-to-save-cnn-from-itself.html This is probably the most effective argument I've read regarding the media's failings in giving Trump so much free attention in this election cycle. There was absolutely a way, and a compelling reason, to focus the...

knapp suggested I take a look at this old voting thread, which seemed reasonable, so I brought it to the Junkyard: http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/68804-quarterback-voting-thread/ Here's a brief list of accounts associated mysteriously with the "+24 post" incident from a while ago...

Apparently, this is possible, but you'll need to run an SQL query to do it and that's tucked far into the ACP (for the reason that it can break every table on the board, I guess). For future reference: (tid is the topic ID number). If anyone needs this done on a poll let me know. Shouldn't do 0...

WaPo: For women, heavy drinking has been normalized. Thats dangerous. I agree with this so much -- although I'd always thought of it as a general problem where alcohol is glorified in absurd ways, with culture absolutely feeding back to marketing and vice versa. I believe that chart is...

As a semi-follower of Arsenal (with a big assist lately from Google Now, without which I would have no idea when their games were) I'm both happy for Arse fans () that they won their Champions League group this year, finally... and kind of amused that they might draw Real or Bayern anyway in...

http://www.holyfucktheelection.com/ NSFW language, obviously. This made me laugh. It's a creative web distillation of this article. And may be useful, if you're considering donating time or money to various organizations. (As an aside, some commentary from Slate on charity issues in general)

Pat McCrory Lost the North Carolina Governorship. Now Hes Trying to Steal It. He might even prevail.

http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2016/11/14/whats-mike-pence-hiding-his-emails/92839560/ How do we feel about transparency, guys? I don't know. I think there's a reasonable argument to make that federal rules use a very antiquated view of electronic communications, and also that too much...

Rod Dreher of The American Conservative interviews the author of Hillbilly Elegy for this piece: Trump: Tribune of Poor White People. (The Optimates vs Populares nod is very fitting. Trump is most assuredly Patrician.) Closing paragraph / take-home. The interview and book are about why Trump's...

I'd like to focus on this point. First, I have a degree of optimism about this, as well as in the strength of American institutions. However, *we* are those good and reasonable people, all of us, and the path we go down depends on what we do -- and what we accept with a shrug. Autocracy: rules...

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/welcome-to-the-second-redemption/507317/ This article is dismal and sobering, but it offers cogent possibilities that I cannot discount. Is it a 'second Redemption'? I can't honestly say it won't be. Let's fight to keep it from happening. And...

The bubble of Rural America Authored by a midwesterner who left for the coasts. I think the mutual understanding must go both ways, of course (and despite the title, the article does get to this point, rather earnestly -- though the author is looking at it from a vantage point of "what was...

http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/2/13483020/policy-stakes-2016 I *do* want to start a new thread about this, because I think the policy angles deserve to be considered on their own. A generous discussion in which "demon specter Trump" is replaced by an anodyne signer of Republican...
