Comments: November 2009

On persecuting Chinese-American aeronautics genius Qian Xuesen, who returned to China and its led missile research. Quian (aka Tsien) died about the same time as Nien Cheng, author of Life and Death in Shanghai.

On General George Casey, the diversity-loving Army Chief of Staff. Positioning yourself for a cushy civilian job, General? (Addendum 20091129. Cf. Roger Kimball.)

On David Cameron.

On a possible return to relevance of the stoic virtues.

On "Sarah Palin and the Decline of Conservatism"

On "Corruption, Panic and Incompetence Fueled Geithner's Backstairs Intrigue". (Follow-up here.)

On "Fear and loathing of the plutocracy 2". Follow-up here.

Palin was booed in Indiana. Has the Right produced its own Joanie Phoanie?

On the British surveillance state. (Got something hide, do you? -> Got something to hide, do you?)

On retribalization. (Instead of evolving into a modern post-tribal society, we may be devolving into a postmodern tribal society.)

On a silly right-wing politicization of Thanksgiving--but take a look at the other comments.

On Intel, AMD and DEC.
