Mitt Romney: Commando in Chief
The blog is called "It Makes Sense," but I've read this paragraph sixteen times, and have yet to make any sense of it whatsoever.
"Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and opposes rapid change in society. Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to...

Where Is The Outrage?
In sixth grade, Mrs. Signori asked us to define "freedom." What does it mean to be "a free country."
"Yes, Suzanne?" Suzanne Bronsard lived across from my grandparents. We saw each other after school, but weren't what you'd call "friends." I liked her. "Um?" Suzanne started. "It means we could do what we want? Um...when we want?" Hm, I thought. That sounds dangerous.
No matter who you are, where you grew up or what lessons stuck with...

Capital Vices / Cardinal Sins
"You know, I think it's about envy. I think it's about class warfare." (Mitt Romney, The Today Show, January 2012)

I am so sick of it I can't even. Not only is "I don't believe it" a conversation-stopper, doesn't it kinda sound like your friend will gladly re-engage in an adult conversation, if only you could provide some facts? Oh, would that it were so! But this is not...

Republicans Are Lying To You About Jobs And Also Literally Everything Else
Former Republican congressional staff member Mike Lofgren wrote a truly brilliant piece that should be taught in schools when our democracy has been totally and completely obliterated by our wealthiest citizens, only it won't be because after they're done destroying jobs, they'll be coming after free press, national parks and public land, and then, education. History, as they say, is written by the victors. If we don't do something now, we're...

Cah Wahz: Tales From a Boston Driver
Visitors marvel at how often we talk about traffic. The fact is, navigating in and around Boston takes a special kind of grit, and way more than a puny map. Boston sucks the joy out of car ownership. Making it home at a reasonable hour is an accomplishment, and yeah, we wanna talk about it. Don't be mad. Imagine the entire Dunks-torqued citizenry collectively compiling a series. How I Survived My Commute Today, Nobody In History Has Ever Parked...
