Torture did not lead us to OSL

No doubt, Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Dish can be a bit of a blowhard and I sometimes vehemently disagree with him. But I also think he’s a great writer filled with passion, and who expresses himself clearly and eloquently. so when I agree with him, I love to read his posts, because they express […]

Pete Hamill on OSL, 9/11, the WSJ and more…

There’s a really interesting interview with journalist and author Pete Hamill on the Atlantic.com, which I highly recommend. Among other things, he talks at length about 9/11 and his reporting of it, why the death of Osama Bin Laden can’t bring “closure” — a term I have always hated, and his views on newspapers , […]

Game of Thrones and the real Royal Family

I’ve been enjoying HBO’s Game of Thrones quite a bit.Rob sheffield at Rolling Stone explains it pretty simply here: Beheadings and breasts are a tough combination to beat. IN the wake of the Royal Wedding, Dr. Science has a great post comparing the real royal family to the Game of Thrones bunch. This is pretty […]

Alan Paul, Big in China book

The China Daily is bullish on Big In China

“Big in China vividly conveys the open-ended, chaotic, wonder and possibility of being a foreigner in today’s China. Alan Paul’s evolution from expat-village ‘trailing spouse’ to star of the Chinese music scene stands for countless similar developments underway in China now.
