Caught in a lie, and a nasty and stupid one at that, he still did not back off, plunging on until he reached lows of demagoguery approached only in this campaign by . . . his running mate, Paul Ryan, in the last debate. Throughout the debate, Mr. Romney lied brazenly, without hesitation or compunct...

| JOHN R. MACARTHUR—IS OBAMA MERELY WARMING THE SEAT FOR CHICAGO POLITICS? | Published: 17/10/12 |
|
“All politics is local,” said the late U.S. House Speaker Thomas “Tip” O’Neill, and local political power imposed on the country at large is why I had traveled here—to refresh my memory about why it largely still runs the Democratic Party and, for the time being, the United States. I had come to the...

| ANAND GOPAL—SYRIA’S SUMMER OF STALEMATE | Published: 15/09/12 |
|
In the August issue of Harper’s Magazine, I detailed the travails of the rebel-held Syrian town of Taftanaz, which had suffered a two-day massacre at the hands of the Syrian army. Hundreds of homes were demolished and whole families slaughtered—yet somehow the revolutionary movement survived intact....

| SCOTT HORTON—BOSS ROVE’S JUSTICE | Published: 13/09/12 |
|
“There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money, and I can’t remember the second.” That quip was offered by Mark Hanna during the first modern professional presidential campaign, that of William McKinley in 1896. But it could just as easily have been voiced by Hanna’s modern...

| KEVIN BAKER—YBOR STORIES | Published: 13/09/12 |

| JOHN R. MACARTHUR—OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN DUPLICITIES RIVAL ROMNEY’S AND RYAN’S | Published: 12/09/12 |
|
I don’t disagree that Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are dishonest propagandists (Ryan posing as the future savior of Medicare is the most laughable lie to date), but why isn’t Obama being held to the same standard? While the Republicans get slammed for reading back the president’s words to their advanta...
