Welcome!

This blog contains brief essays on political topics dear to my heart. I am no expert but only an average American citizen trying to make sense of a complicated and dangerous world. You may also wish to peruse my website containing pages that are mostly lists of links to other political articles on the web (with a few more articles of my own). Note that links tend to go dead after a while. I keep them up anyway since they are still informative. Scooping up the link's text and pasting it into Google sometimes retrieves the article. My website was designed for Safari and may not look right in other browsers. I strive for platform independence, but that is often easier said than done. When reading old articles, please note that I moved substantially to the left during late 2006 (no apologies).

Werther's Law: Our Corrupt Establishment
27 August 2008

Normally, I publish my own articles on this blog, as one might expect. But today, I read such a good article, that I will simply post a link to it here, rather than digesting it in my own words. It is by a mysterious defense analyst, who hides under the pseudonym of Werther, and who writes on the Electric Politics website. He starts out by discussing Obama's unfortunate choice of Senator Joe Biden as Veep, but then he expands the article into a comprehensive overview of the establishment dynamics that have produced our disastrous bipartisan foreign policy. In other words, my favorite topic!

Werther's Law

Or Joe Biden and the
Iron Law of Adverse Political Selection


He really covers a lot of territory. I guess I can retire my blog now!
