The Reaction in review (March 20, 2009)
A week's Reactions that deserve a second look:
Creature Feature: This week finds several great little Posts About Punditry by our Associate Editor, Creature: Fake Populism, Blue dogs in the Senate, Meet the Press: same as it ever was, and Too much stupid.
Friday
By Carol Gee: "They say this is how it is supposed to work" -- This post is an opinion piece about the shallow-thinking demands for perfect performance by the President and members of his administration.
Thursday
By Carl: "Too juice not to take a swipe at" -- Carl's priceless post gives us a preview of the "former president Bush's (Oh... thank God!)" proposed book about decisions.
By Carol Gee: "Guantanamo, Iraq, and Iran -- a digest" -- This post is a round-up of the current national security issues associated with the Middle East, the Department of Justice and the Obama administration.
Wednesday
By J. Thomas Duffy: "Idiocracy, The Sequel" -- Duffy fills us in on the technology take-over of the court systems resulting in multiple mistrials.
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie..." -- This post gives great insight into North Korea's Dear Leader, Kim Jong-il and his taste for pizza.
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Crisis in Madagascar" and "We are Madagascar" -- Michael reports that The Reaction is one of North America's leading blogs on all things Madagascar, and then proves it.
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Don't Blame Dodd" and "Don't Blame Dodd, Revisited" -- Michael makes excellent arguments, citing Glenn Greenwald, that attacks on Senator Christopher Dodd regarding AIG are unfair.
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Stay classy, John McCain" -- Michael's great post asserts that "John McCain has a long history of being a jerk" and concludes, "At the very least, McCain has once again exposed the partisan core that has always been his driving force."
Tuesday
By Carl: "Does it matter?" -- Carl's very thoughtful post brings some welcome perspective to the problems of the period, including poverty, the future of the economy and things in Pakistan.
By Capt. Fogg: "Guillotine! Guillotine!" -- This post takes to task the conservative Republican Right's calls for public execution of AIG execs, or boiling them in oil, etc.; you get the picture.
Monday
By J. Thomas Duffy: "Breaking! ... Obama takes action, seizes AIG's March Madness office pools and brackets" -- Duffy's funny post synthesizes the AIG (Always Incredibly Greedy) and basketball tourney pool stories into a very creative piece.
By Capt. Fogg: "It's a Doocy, all right" -- Fogg captures exactly how many of us feel these days in our upside-down world gone insane.
By guest poster Jim Arkedis: "Just wait until next year..." -- Arkedis is a very good writer who makes the looming fight over the Pentagon budget very understandable. See also, his (3/19) post on Russia.
