"Disasters In Blackface: by Digital Publius (Hassan Nurullah)!" Saturday, June 19, 2010 "Let us conceptually examine the political left and right with the idea of discovering and understanding what these terms ultimately represent. The BP oil disaster provides a unique opportunity to embark on a philosophical, perhaps even spiritual exercise, as it has shed light on, in my humble opinion, rather remarkable things." Read More...

The Electric Speakeasy Thread Of The Day: "Memories
of your dad..." For this special day, I hope you'll take
