But my habitual dissing of the Gray Lady is probably not endearing me to Her Majesty! <br /><br />They won't even give Gretchen Morgensen her own column. They bury her in the business section, and elevate Joe Nocera. Their next woman columnist, if there is one, will be another centrist or conservative. Or somebody from the "Style" section to replace MoDo if she ever retires.

She's got the biting wit and political breadth and depth of knowledge to draw a multitude of readers - which she already does, for free. <br /><br />Why the NYT hasn't recruited her yet is a mystery to me. Maybe because they don't have to pay her but still get the benefit of readers who go directly to the comments section to read hers? <br /><br />Hire Karen Garcia for the opinion page! <br /><br />annenigmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-58064052732479774232014-05-11T23:48:30.293-04:002014-05-11T23:48:30.293-04:00Whole villages in Pakistan and Yemen live under th...Whole villages in Pakistan and Yemen live under the buzz of drones overhead around the clock for weeks.

This adminstration under Obama, has hidden all the rotten things they do behind the curtains: drones, supporting spying on everyone, "global" arrangements such as the PTT, illegal and unconstitutional decisions, ad infinitum; and if reporters try to speak out they are censored or threatened, to say nothing of ordinary people who try to change things.<br />There is more and more angry reaction to the hypocrisy going on in Congress, the Supreme Court and the White House which is a healthy sign to be supported by all those who sense danger ahead.

Moral consistency is a difficult thing for us humans. It's really all shades of gray, unless one is a total psychopath without any “humanity” whatsoever. <br /><br />Which, perhaps, Barack <i> et al. </i> could be. I've never met the family or the administration lackeys, and I don't much like psychoanalysis at a distance. <br /><br />I, too, understand and resent the hypocrisy of the Obama administration in seeking to make political hay of the kidnapping of those 200+ Nigerian schoolgirls: <i> Why shed crocodile tears for these </i>particular <i> schoolgirls when you're doing serious damage—up to and including disfigurement, dismemberment and death—to so many others? </i> Well, the answer to that is as reprehensible as it is obvious: there's political capital to be accrued here.<br /><br />Still, not being a pacifist, and having a visceral, white-hot, burning hatred of the very thought of one person enslaving another, it would not bother my conscience a whit were Obama to send in Seal Team Six—or the Brits, their SAS—and free those schoolgirls <i> at whatever the cost </i> to the soldiers of Boko Haram.<br /><br />Where's the “humanity” in that?Zeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-85274093872864128742014-05-11T16:15:29.166-04:002014-05-11T16:15:29.166-04:00Humanity?

Shit, they wouldn't know what it means.And I'm not sure I do.<br />Does it mean solving a quadratic equation for it's roots? Or the solution to a differential equation, if it has one? Or proving or disproving string theory?<br />To me it means a shaman pointing the way for a hunter through the spring ice or feeding hungry children left behind. All the rest is superficial bullshit.
