While I often disagree with Benjamin Wittes, I rarely think the stuff he writes is sheer nonsense. This post, which attempts to rebut Eugene Robinson’s column on Assassination by Robot, is an exception. I disagree, respectfully, with most of his post. But this bit I find just mindboggling. My former colleague Eugene Robinson has a [...]

The Southern Poverty Law Center has an interview with the guy who headed DHS’ domestic terrorism analysis that produced the report on the rise in domestic right wing extremism, Daryl Johnson.

On Meet the Press this morning, [...]

I was in my holiday lull last week when the man who wants to be my Governor, Crazy Pete Hoekstra, callously tried to fundraise off of an attempted attack on a flight bound for Michigan. My promise to you, as your governor, my first duty and most solemn responsibility is to keep Michigan safe! For [...]

It’s official. Crazy Pete’s hissy fit about moving Gitmo prisoners to Standish, MI, have lost MI those potential jobs.
