The Papacy, again: More on Popes and Fascists
As a follow-up to yesterday’s commentary on the Argentine fascist who has been named the new pope, we have something else cooked up for our readers. We present, for your consideration, this collage of popes with fascist and right-wing dictators, some of whom were elected into power: From top-left, going clockwise: Leo XIII with Otto […]
Juan Cole Watch: What does Juan Cole’s secret Love Affair with the CIA say about Academia?
January 27, 2013
Middle East Studies professor Juan Cole fancies himself something of a superstar among academic armchair-leftists, thanks in no small part to his mindless and puerile blog Informed Comment, which is apparently quite popular among other academic armchair-leftists. What are the “left-wing” credentials of somebody like Juan Cole, though? It remains something of a question. After […]

What I am about to present here may seem an act of sacrilege to many, but that is because it is so infrequently attempted. The Gay Rights movement and the explosive issue of gay marriage […]
What’s happening in Wisconsin? I wish that I knew…

by Bruno Fournier Because the truth is that I don’t. Media coverage of the recent strikes and occupation of the state Capitol building has been surprisingly sparse.
