The global economy is at the point of maximum danger
Money – It feels like the summer of 1931. The world's two biggest financial institutions have had a heart attack. The global currency system is breaking down. The policy doctrines that got us into this mess are bankrupt. No world leader seems able to discern the problem, let alone forge a solution.

Church this Way; State that Way

It's the Economic Stupidity, Stupid
Politics – By his own admission, simple math and economics have never been McCain's forte. Indeed, McCain's self-contradictory, flip-flopping economic pronouncements are just plain old incoherence, as if he were compulsively consulting one of those old Magic 8 Balls.

Having the 'Best Military' Is Not Always a Good Thing
Politics – When did American troops become "warfighters" ââ;¬" members of "Generation Kill" ââ;¬" instead of citizen-soldiers? And when did we become so proud of declaring our military to be "the world's best"? These are neither frivolous nor rhetorical questions

McCain crosses the border, but Mexico backs El Negrito
Politics – If American Mexicans have a stake in 2008, Mexican Mexicans don't see much difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. As Berta Robledo, an activist friend, laughs, both want to be the president of the biggest criminal gang in the world. Asked for who she might cast a ballot: "Why of course for the Negrito - Memin Penguin!"

The Democrats are the Real Problem
Politics – The Democrats are a party of blood just like the Republicans, they're just more discreet about it. That's why people who are serious about ending the war have to support candidates outside the two-party charade. The Democrat/Republican duopoly will not deliver the goods; it's as simple as that.

Go, Ralph, Go!
Politics – In the latest Washington Post poll, Barack Obama is eight points ahead of John McCain. However, if you add Bob Barr and Ralph Nader into the mix, he's ten points ahead (see below). Does that mean liberals should once again be cheering on Nader? What's the party line these days?

Amitai Etzioni Notes: Israel's Nukes
Politics – Before I proceed, I should note that I do not view criticizing Israeli policies as inappropriate, and surely not as anti-Semitic. Indeed, most Israelis criticize their nation's policies in no uncertain terms, and they are Semites.
