Ezra Klein

Posted by Jedmunds I’d like to begin my inaugural post here by thanking Ezrafor inviting me to join his weekend crew. It’s an honor to join such a great cast that includes some of myfavorite bloggers. I hope to prove aworthy addition to the team and that I am somehow able to pull my weight […]

Shakes here… Nothing to worry about. Just a little aneurysm. In his knee.

Says O’Reilly: O’REILLY: The secular progressive movement would like to have marriage abolished, in my opinion. They don’t want it, because it is not diverse enough. You know, that’s what this gay marriage thing is all about. But now, you know, the poly-amorphous marriage, whatever they call it, you can marry 18 people, you can […]

Posted by Nicholas Beaudrot of Electoral Math Ezra’s finishing up college this week, so the weekend crew is coming in a bit early. And just in time for Tom Reynolds (R-NY) to suggest that the GOP give up on Social Security. Reynolds runs the NRCC, the body responsible for coordinating recruiting and campaigning for all […]

I’ve got finals to do today, so no blogging from me. I’ll invite my weekenders to start now or, in any case, there’ll be plenty of original content again tomorrow. For now, if you’re bored, read the post below this one, my parody of Glenn Reynolds, or my bit on Privatizing FEMA.

I’ll have more on the speech tomorrow. For now, it was good — real good. In fact, if you closed your eyes and cleared your mind, you would’ve sworn a Big Government Democrat was on the podium. And then, when you open them back up, you read TLaura’s blog (which is great, by the way) […]

Chris Mooney is everywhere. The Daily Show, Fresh Air, the papers, the internet…and everywhere he goes, his hosts say the same thing: Buy his book. And guess what I’m going to say? Buy his book. Bunches of other bloggers have reviewed it, so I’m not going to spend too much time recapping the basics, but […]

If we’re going to attack Bush for being childish, not knowing the diplomatic protocol for a pee break is really the least of our worries (incidentally, Bush should’ve just asked me, as, according to Google, I am the authority on all things bladder-related). I’d be much more concerned with the apparent merging of his ADD […]

Apparently, The NY Times is locking their op-ed writers behind a subscription wall tomorrow, $50 for the secret password. If they can charge for their content, I can reprint mine. So here, fresh from May 16th, is my opinion on this:
