[The Lexicality Blog] More recently I heard my Operation Iraqi Freedom soldier neighbor tell his girlfriend “I fought for you”, “I risked my life for you”, as if it was an excuse for whatever he had done that she disagreed with. In his mind, he is a hero.

[Crunchy Con] Crunchy Con: How is the conservative movement like "1984"? - Rod ...: Back to the Two-Minute Hate, this kind of thinking is a symptom of why the conservative movement is in such trouble. If your critics and opponents can't possibly have a point, and are only Stupid or Evil (else they'd see things your way in every instance), then you shouldn't be surprised when you get cold-cocked by reality on Election Day.
[dotCommonweal] dotCommonweal » Blog Archive » Obama is NOT “aggressive ...: But rather than forcefully and passionately engaging in negative attacks on Obama and his agenda as aggressive and apocalyptic, let them forcefully and passionately make the positive case for a vision of women’s rights that doesn’t come at the expense of the weakest and most vulnerable human beings. This doesn’t require any backpedaling on the Church’s convictions about abortions and is likely to be much more effective.
[Economist's View] Economist's View: Paul Krugman: The War Against Wages: I'd guess that it's likely that you and most other people who read these economics blogs are owners of Wal-mart (for example, through an index fund in a retirement account) and I bet that most of us who do own these shares aren't wildly rich and further that we're not going to get wildly rich off our Wal-mart shares. Wal-mart, whatever they are doing to increase efficiencies by squeezing employees and suppliers and using more energy efficient light bulbs and buying more efficient trucks etc, cannot be passing on most of these gains to the current shareholders because then (it seems to me) our Wal-mart investments would have great returns and I'm pretty sure that in reality the returns won't be fantastic, they'll just be ordinary.
[pkpolitics.com] Kal Tak - 12 December 2008 | pkpolitics.com: The only problem now is that Pakistan is been examined by Microscope when every problem if it does exist becomes so visible, Countries around the world have problems but no one would talk against them, Democracy in Pakistan became important in Pakistan just after 8 years of dictatorship (Please don’t take me that i am favoring it),but it has never been a problem in Egypt? Please speak for your country, It needs your efforts in other way around, We have problems but many actors are in the field which are using many of our people in a wrong way.
Informed Comment: Not only was Fund wrong about the "weapons of mass destruction" threat in Iraq, a mistake that has cost the US nearly 2400 lives and 14,000 severely wounded, but he is wrong about the threat of global warming. I found that on January 25, 2003, he managed to be wrong about both things all at once!
[Cosmic Variance] Pirates | Cosmic Variance | Discover Magazine: Thugs are thugs, whether they are Somali pirates, IRA terrorists planting bombs in London, Hamas guerrillas firing rockets at Israel, Israeli checkpoint guards humiliating Palestinian workers, American soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners, or Halliburton executives siphoning away piles of money that was meant for supplies. Thugs come in many forms.
[The Volokh Conspiracy] The Volokh Conspiracy - Gaza War Leads to Drop in Palestinian ...: I don't recall seeing it discussed on this blog, but someone asked why libs/Democrats are so easy to make peace with ideological enemies like terrorists, while only believing that confrontation is the proper response to American conservatives. The approaches are entirely inconsistent, unless you take into account that the overriding premise is to weaken/destroy/have contempt for Westernism (of which conservatives largely support and liberals largely detest).
[Informed Comment] Informed Comment: Ali-Karamali: Of Documentaries and Dehumanization: (2) Those who do not negate any principles of Islam, but have a difference of opinion with the Muslims on saying that Ali (Radiyallahu Anhu) was the most superior amongst all the Sahabah (Radiyallahu Anhum). Such Shias will not be regarded as non-Muslims, but they will still be regarded as fasiqs (those who transgress the laws of Islam openly)

Except for their early websites which (like everyone else) utilized the upper-left logo and left-aligned website, all their websites in recent memory have employed center-top navigation, ample use of Helvetica, and gridlike simplicity.
