The Enlightenment coup was successful because of two reasons: first, it was so quick in morphing into revolutionary movements that the establishment of that period had no time to mobilize itself for squelching the uprising; second, having tasted the fruits ... more »

Chet Raymo, "Lessons"
*"Lessons"* by Chet Raymo "There is a four-line poem by Yeats, called "Gratitude to the Unknown Instructors": "What they undertook to do They brought to pass; All things hang like a drop of dew Upon a blade of grass." Like so many of the short poems of Yeats, it is hard to know what the poet had in mind, who exactly were the unknown instructors, and if unknown how could they instruct. But as I opened my volume of "The Poems" this morning, at random, as in the old days people opened the Bible and pointed a finger at a random passage seeking advice or instruction, this is the poem th... more »

"Life is Looking Out a Window"
*"Life is Looking Out a Window" * by David Cain "The other day my friend noticed aloud that she probably knows my face a lot better than I do. I suppose it’s true—I only see it a few minutes a day in the mirror, or occasionally in a photograph. But she sees it almost every time either of us says anything to each other. Of course, I’ve been seeing my face my whole life, much longer than any of my friends have been around. But our faces are constantly changing, and we only see them in certain contexts: primping, shaving, examining blemishes, checking for cars behind us. A person’s di... more »

The Poet: May Sarton, "Now I Become Myself"
*"Now I Become Myself"* “Now I become myself. It's taken Time, many years and places, I have been dissolved and shaken, Worn other people's faces, Run madly, as if Time were there, Terribly old, crying a warning, "Hurry, you will be dead before -----" (What? Before you reach the morning? or the end of the poem, is clear? Or love safe in the walled city?) Now to stand still, to be here, Feel my own weight and density! Now there is time and Time is young. O, in this single hour I live All of myself and do not move, I, the pursued, who madly ran, Stand still, stand still, and stop the Sun!”... more »

Earliest snow in Sweden in 20 years
18 Sep 2019 – Winter appears to have arrived early in Northern Europe. In the most northern parts of Värmland, it has been snowing all day, according to Dan Norström at Långberget’s sports hotel in Sysslebäck. “I’ve been here for almost 20 years,” said Norström. “This is probably the earliest snow.” “When I came [to ...

Ron Paul, Check Your Brows-er
From The New York Times: IT wasn’t quite the slip-up (or slip-down, as it were) most people expect during a presidential campaign, but whatever happened to Ron Paul’s eyebrows at Tuesday night’s debate certainly caught some viewers’ attention. For those of you not yet riveted by the Republican race, Mr. Paul, the dark-horse libertarian with […]
Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- September 18, 2019
*Michael Burleigh, Daily Mail*: *Will Donald Trump unleash hell on Iran? Oil prices soaring, threats of 'full-on war' from the Ayatollahs, and the US saying it's 'locked and loaded' - are we on the brink of war in the Gulf?* At three in the morning on Saturday, residents of the Saudi oil town of Abqaiq were roused by something other than the pre-dawn call to prayer. A massive series of explosions at the huge oil processing plant sent flames up to thirty feet into the air, gunfire was aimed at what seemed to be a drone in the sky. Abqaiq's residents fled with their families into th... more »

"Is QE Next?"
*"Is QE Next?"* by Brian Maher "July’s rate cut - Jerome Powell insisted at the time - represented a mere “midcycle adjustment.” And investors who believed it uncorked a cutting cycle might just guess again. Yet it was Mr. Powell who missed his guess. At 2 p.m. Eastern this afternoon, word came down... The Federal Reserve’s “Open Market” Committee voted to lower interest rates another 25 basis points. Its target rate now rests between 1.75% and 2%. Importantly, the Federal Reserve itself projects no more rate cuts this year. Yet we are far from convinced. We expect at least one add... more »

*FOX News:* *Saudi oil attacks an 'act of war' by Iran, not Yemen rebels, Pompeo claims* U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday doubled down on accusations Iran is responsible for the weekend bombing on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities, telling reporters that the strike was “an act of war.” Pompeo, speaking from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, added that even if the "fraudulent claims" of responsibility by the Yemen Houthi rebels were true, "it doesn't change the fingerprints of the [Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] as having put at risk the global energy supply."

Marxists for Liberalism
In his recent interview on Politics Theory Other about the long-term decline of Conservatives and Conservatism, Andy Beckett notes incuriosity about Corbyn and Corbynism is a symptom of the establishment right and establishment left's disengagement from political reality. It's a point this blog has made plenty of times. That is apart from the ridiculous “explanation” there were a quarter of a million Trots waiting for their moment to swarm into the Labour Party as soon as Jeremy Corbyn gave them the green light. But the claim of incuriosity does not apply across the board. Gavin Sh... more »
Close Call: During America's Civil War, Britain Almost Sided with the South

As a result, the American minister to Great Britain found himself summoned to see the British prime minister at his residence at 94 Piccadilly. Charles Fr... more »
Beto's Bad News: Gun Grabbing Not Helping in Polls

REUTERS/Mike Blake] If that didn't work, what will? Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s support for confiscating Americans’ firearms doesn’t appear to have helped buoy the Texas Democrat’s presidential campaign, according to a poll published Tuesday. O’Rourke struggled to maintain 2% of the vote in a Wall Street Journal poll conducted Sept. 13-16 of 506 Democratic primary voters. His numbers didn’t change much since ... more »
The New Campaign to Convince Trump to Exit Afghanistan
*Curt Mills* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] An effort led by the conservative Concerned Veterans for America will target the president’s favorite news network, Fox News. “Great nations do not fight endless wars,” declares the start of a new ad from Concerned Veterans for America. Only the speaker is not an anti-war agitator—the speaker is the sitting president of the United States addressing Congress. The pull quote from Donald Trump’s State of the Union serves as the launching pad for a new television buy—around $200,000 on top of a $500,000 digital and mail campaign... more »

Israel's Kingmaker Loses His Crown
*Matthew Petti* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Benjamin Netanyahu will probably go to jail if his political enemies don't save him. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the undefeated heavyweight champion of Israeli politics for at least a decade, has just taken a serious blow in do-over elections. But it’s not clear yet whether that was a knockout punch—or whether “Bibi” can get back up and keep swinging. Results released by the Israeli elections authority early Wednesday afternoon showed that Netanyahu’s right-wing alliance won fifty-four seats in parliament, short of ... more »

Hitler's Monster Tank: Meet the Jagdtiger 'Hunting Tiger' Tank (It Was a Flop)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The vehicle’s terrifying bulk proved to be its own worst enemy. *Key Point:* Midway through World War II, Nazi Germany decided to take its huge 128-millimeter antiaircraft gun and stick it on its biggest, baddest tank. The result was the monstrous *Jagdtiger *(“Hunting Tiger”), then heaviest tank to see action in World War II—and *still* heavier than modern M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks!
