Guests

Michael O’Hanlon, senior fellow in foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institution

Jonathan Weisman, reporter, “The Washington Post”

Lawrence Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, and former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration.

You can listen to it here (Real).

Listening to Michael O’Hanlon try to find something positive from recent events in Iraq was like watching pretzels being made from human flesh–painful.

It is painful to watch a bankrupt ideologue try to defend his bankrupt ideology.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
