Letter to the DFP editor
November 3, 2011 at 8:14 am
Wednesday’s “Bearing the cross” editorial was reactionary, unlettered, and demagogic–but it also began with a clear-cut chunk of plagiarism. Comparing the first three paragraphs of said article with a New York Times article entitled “Justices Decline Case On Highway Crosses” from Monday, it is woefully obvious that the author lifted the first three paragraphs of […]

November 1, 2011 at 9:13 am
Two scintillating authors in a lighthearted conversation. The event is the brainchild of Intelligence Squared, who’ve put up a page for the talk here that explains how to watch it–would anyone chip in for $8 so we could watch it live together?

via NYT: Why the Antichrist Matters in Politics
September 27, 2011 at 8:16 am
Prescient, thoughtful article yesterday in the Times. Firstly, it’s a well-done summary of the historical factors contributing to the current involvement of Evangelical Christianity in American politics. More importantly, it doesn’t treat Evangelical apocalypse-harbingers as unspun crazies, but as a motivated, sincere group of people who may be right or wrong about what they believe […]
