Finally, an email from a young reader who gets it: Hey Bird Dog, I can't tell whether this is some East Coast liberal intellectual blog or a Christian conservative blog, or what it is. What is your identity? What and who are you guys or gals? You seem so random. Why can't you be a straight-forward one-dimensional brand, so you can be comprehended and get better traffic? You are too complex and diverse, probably, for the average hot-headed blog-reader. But I always do check in to see what you're doing. Sincerely, Susie (at Antioch College) Dear Susie: We are flattered to have undergrad readers like you. Glad you found us. Actually, our traffic is OK with plenty of international, which we like. We are just ordinary Yankee folk who like to write - and writing makes us think a little, because when you begin a sentence, you have to finish it. World affairs and politics are just one facet of life - it's good to be engaged, but it's not important in the end. Life is a big thing, and we are into it. L'chaim. Worrying about identity is for the young and the neurotic, and worrying about marketing is for salespeople. I don't think we will ever be uni-dimensional or easy to categorize. Listen to Maggie's Farm. We'll just be ourselves, and if you don't like it, you can leave us alone. Good luck with your finals, and thanks for writing. And don't forget to take Geology before you graduate, or you won't know nuthin. Sincerely, Bird Dog
Masked and Anonymous (2003) This is no immortal movie, and was panned by the genius critics, but it is a must for Dylan fans. The casting is notable, probably because everyone wanted to meet Bobbie: John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, etc. Goodman does his usual amazing job, but Dylan cannot or will not really act. He is just there, with his strangely charismatic, ageless, Chaplin-like presence and his cryptic comments. The sound track is worth owning, with the best Grateful Dead version of Baby Blue. Dylan's version of Dixie is haunting and beats any previous version hands-down. In fact, it replaces all prior versions. The picture itself is a dark surrealistic ramble through a mythic nation torn by pointless civil war and egomaniacal politicians. Dylan's musings about the state of affairs are quotable and Dylanesque, whether he wrote them or not.
The "Jewish Cabal" You have to check into Al Jazeera once in a while to see what some Moslems are thinking - and, in this case, some leftists in Britain. It's not news that the US supports Israel's existence, but this is nuts: "A Jewish cabal have taken over the government in the United States and formed an unholy alliance with fundamentalist Christians," said Tam Dalyell, a Labour party deputy and the longest-serving House member. "There is far too much Jewish influence in the United States," he added. Read entire here. Turkey
It pains me to see a wonderful, fascinating country run into problems. I love Turkey, and would hate to see it turn to the Dark Side. From The Week:
Why we are reading Mein Kampf: Dogu Ergil Turkish Daily News
Islamic fundamentalism is gaining ground in Turkey, said Dogu Ergil in Ankara’s Turkish Daily News. Hitler’s Mein Kampf is a current best-seller. So is that absurd anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Strangely enough, this wave of hate has been growing ever since the U.S. invaded Iraq. The war angered many Turks, who feared that it would lead to Iraq’s Kurds forming an independent Kurdistan on their borders. That, in turn, would lead Turkey’s Kurds to want to break away, fracturing our nation. Over the past two years, Turkey’s ruling party has been steadily distancing itself from the U.S. Rather than derive their power from a close relationship with the superpower, Turkey’s rulers have begun to rely more on “internal forces,” particularly the “nationalists, statists, and Islamists.” These disparate “fringe groups” want to take Turkey in different directions. The one thing that unites them is “anxiety of change and hatred of the enemy,” and they view America, the Jews, and Israel as the enemy. Fortunately, these groups are not yet in charge. Turkey can still return to the pro-Western path if it regains a more positive “unifying idea”—the promise of E.U. membership.
Russia's Culture Wars "The absurd witch-hunt in Russia is a cautionary tale for the United States as well. If nothing else, it should show us the true worth of President Vladimir Putin's protestations that Russia is firmly on the road to democracy. It is also a demonstration of the dangers of hate speech laws, of criminalizing expression that offends people's sensibilities, and of equating criticism of religion with bigotry. These are relevant issues we face at home, too." Read entire piece by Cathy Young here: Click here: Reason: Religion in Art? Nyet!: Casualties in Russia's culture wars

WC raised awareness of the reality of US campuses: "What happened? In the 1960s, universities collapsed “in the face of a little juvenile swagger.” They never recovered, most of them, and now Hamilton College (among many others) is reaping the fruit. Which leads us to the second, and more general, issue raised by the Hamilton follies, an issue we have often adverted to in these pages: the politicization of higher education."

The Vast Left Wing conspiracy
NR Editor's preface: "EDITOR'S NOTE: This piece is excerpted from NR White House Correspondent Byron York's new book, . York's new book details how MoveOn.org, George Soros, Michael Moore, 527 groups, Al Franken, and other Democratic activists built the biggest, richest, and best organized political movement in generations. Among other things, the book discusses MoveOn's origins and how, in the summer of 2004, the group used its Internet organizing power in an attempt to create the impression in the media that there was a wave of anti-Bush anger sweeping the country."

Catholicism
Hugh Hewitt on criticism of Catholicism:
"But there's a second journalistic sin at work in the agenda-driven commentary about the Pope's "failure" to modernize the Church on issues of celibacy, contraception, and the ordination of women. Simply put, most of the American media is simply ignorant of the Pope's critics on the right. There is a valid case to be made that whatever disenchantment existed with John Paul II came more from those Catholics still unreconciled to Vatican II, and deeply distressed about John Paul II's refusal to steer back into the pre-1960 Church."

City Journal Speaks Truth to Power
How the City of NY messes things up. It's the West Side, now. Steven Malanga:
"But far from encouraging this eruption of the free market, the businessman mayor is out to derail any development of the MTA site that competes with his plan to build a stadium there to lure the 2012 Olympics. In pushing his centrally planned vision, the mayor who was once a CEO seems to have lost faith in the free market and succumbed to New York’s political culture, which reflexively favors its own idea of how the city’s economy should work over the more inventive and spontaneous visions of entrepreneurs. That culture believes that it is okay for government to warehouse valuable land, to employ restrictive zoning that unreasonably limits how the free market can work, and to micromanage economic-development projects with paralyzing inefficiency. Occasionally, the free market fights back and wins, as in Times Square, where market forces overwhelmed a government plan to make the area an uninspiring office district and instead revived it as a bustling entertainment and tourism mecca."

This piece by Steven Lagerfeld in the Wilson Quarterly is, like, you know, really intelligent:
It may seem implausible to speak of a cult of smarts in the age of Paris Hilton and 30-second political attack ads, when it appears that America is being relentlessly dumbed down. But don’t blame dumb people for that. Dumbing down is the idea of film and television executives, political consultants, newspaper magnates, and other very intelligent people. It’s a shrewd moneymaking strategy. It also reveals one of the problems of putting too much stock in pure brainpower: Smart people are uniquely capable of producing noxious ideas. http://wwics.si.edu/index.cfm?fuseaction=wq.essay&essay_id=105057

Freedom We say and believe that we love it, but what exactly is it? We believe it is a vision embodied in our Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution and especially in the Bill of Rights, but what does it mean in ordinary, everyday life? Does it mean habeas corpus? Does it mean voting? Does it mean "doing what you feel like"? Does it mean property rights? Capitalism? Does it mean worshipping whatever God or gods you prefer? The psychologists tell us that humans have an ambivalent relationship to freedom. They say humans, as a mass, are torn between an adult desire for freedom and independence, and a childish desire for security and protection. And that the ambivalence is reflected in the ways they live as well as in their politics. Thus there are many who will happily sacrifice freedom for a feeling of safety. Statists and totalitarians of every flavor appeal to that desire for security and protection from a parental State. Selling freedom is in many ways a harder sell, as much as we think we love it. On Maggie's Farm, we tend to prefer freedom and independence, but we do have that Yankee mind-set. We prefer poverty with opportunity to poverty of spirit...or so we would like to believe. When I'm able to clarify my thoughts, I'll write more. Read William Galston as he tackles the thorny subject: Click here: "Taking Liberty" by William A. Galston
Fr. Neuhaus and Krauthammer Eulogize the Pope The wisest two pieces I've seen: Krauthammer: Under the benign and deeply humane vision of this pope, the power of faith led to the liberation of half a continent. Under the barbaric and nihilistic vision of Islam's jihadists, the power of faith has produced terror and chaos. That contrast alone, which has dawned upon us unmistakably ever since Sept. 11, should be reason enough to be grateful for John Paul II. But we mourn him for more than that. We mourn him for restoring strength to the Western idea of the free human spirit at a moment of deepest doubt and despair. And for seeing us through to today's great moment of possibility for both faith and freedom. Click here: The Power of Faith (washingtonpost.com) Fr. Neuhaus: It is impossible to understand John Paul without understanding that his entire thought and being was grounded in the incarnation, the teaching, the suffering, death, resurrection and promised return of Jesus Christ. He was, through and through, an intellectual and philosopher. The school of philosophy to which he belonged, and to which he made many contributions through scholarly articles and books, goes by the perhaps obscure names of "phenomenology" and "personalism," but always his thought was Christo-centric, centered in the revelation of God in Christ.

Polls and the Papacy You now hear Bill Clinton, and the NYT, complain about the Pope because he was not what? A modern progressive politician? Huh? And when I begin to see polls coming out about what the next Pope should do, I realize what a huge gap exists between the religiously-interested and secularists. Hello! It is called "religion." It's about a person's relationship with God. And the Pope's job is to help find the way, and light the way. It's not about what people like and it has nothing to do with popularity or being in tune with the latest fad. It's not about "keeping up with the times." It's about "timeless". It doesn't take a spiritual leader to say what people like. Everyone already knows what people "like". What can be tough is to find is the "permalink" to the divine. When folks find that, they really like it.
 Farm Welfare
Farms have been receiving Federal subsidies since the Depression and dust-bowl years. Like everyone else in the world, farmers tend to be economically rational and to follow incentives. If someone paid me not to work one day a week, I'd take the money and use the time to blog or to do yard work. There are many compelling arguments against farm subsidies, including conservation arguments, and the sole compelling argument that I've heard in their favor is called politics. (The LYF, like most small farmers, doesn't get any government money, but is a beneficiary of milk price supports.) Conservation funds for farmers is another matter, but even there, I'd rather see the Feds simply buy the "spare" and marginal land, or buy the development rights to it, and transfer it to conservation organizations, than for it to be one more government hand-out. From a piece by Mark Radulich: "The Heritage Foundation also reports that, “Farming may be the most federally subsidized profession in America. The persistence of farm subsidy programs results from the popular misconception that they stabilize the incomes of poor family farmers who are at the mercy of unpredictable weather and crop prices. Yet a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture report concluded that, "On average, farm households have higher incomes, greater wealth, and lower consumption expenditures than all U.S. households."

Thanks, Martin Peretz, for Honesty "If George W. Bush were to discover a cure for cancer, his critics would denounce him for having done it unilaterally, without adequate consultation, with a crude disregard for the sensibilities of others. He pursued his goal obstinately, they would say, without filtering his thoughts through the medical research establishment. And he didn't share his research with competing labs and thus caused resentment among other scientists who didn't have the resources or the bold--perhaps even somewhat reckless--instincts to pursue the task as he did. And he completely ignored the World Health Organization, showing his contempt for international institutions. Anyway, a cure for cancer is all fine and nice, but what about aids? "

 Social Security, FDR, GW, etc.
Truth is, only I really know how FDR feels about Social Security reform, because I've been channeling FDR ever since Bush proposed reform - don't laugh - and FDR has been following the issue closely. And he channels Maggie's Farm daily, I'm pleased to report. Anyway, here are some of the things he has communicated to me: "I was proud of Social Security, but that was two or three generations ago. Times change, and solutions change. Experiment, and make it better. That's what I always tried to do with things." "That young pup GW sure has some balls to him. I like him. A warrior with a heart." "Any legislation is just a first draft. You see how it works in reality and then you adjust to reality. The real purpose was just to keep the elderly from dying in the gutter, not to advance socialism. That goal is my legacy, not how it's achieved. Economics was never my forte anyway." "Don't listen to my relatives. They want me embalmed - well, I am embalmed - I mean they want my legislation embalmed. As a monument to their Gramps or great-Gramps or whatever. Ridiculous. Hell, look at the tricks I played with the courts - nothing is permanent as I see it. Even the Constitution." "If you could channel me a double dry Beefeater martini, up, with two olives, I would welcome it very much right now. It's cocktail hour." I missed a very good review piece by John Fund when it came out a few weeks ago, at the the time of the FDR flap - the Libs went berserko because conservatives quoted FDR on Social Security, but Mr. Fund doesn't have the channel to FDR that I have: "One good spinoff from the debate over President Bush's Social Security reform is that everyone is finally discussing the program's "solvency." It's about time. Countless people still think there is a "trust fund" with real assets in it that is being held for them until they're old enough to collect retirement payments. It's time they learn the truth. As Harvard economist Martin Feldstein has noted, the system's solvency "is based on a complex accounting sham so duplicitous that it is hard to believe."

Causes of Terrorism, Again Maggie's has been over this ground several times. (I could bring the posts up if we could figure out how to do the permalinks.) This is just more evidence that Maggie's is always right. Our general view has been that terrorism is caused by terrorists - ordinary evil, destructive folks like the ones The Analyst discusses - and this supports that. When will we quit trying to "understand" badness? Rotten sleazy people are a dime a dozen in this world. What's to understand?

The New! Improved! Democratic Party Maggie's has already covered Frank's What's the Matter with Those Moron Idiot Rednecks in Kansas, and now we address Lakoff's Don't Think of An Elephant. I swear to God - Please, Dems, study these profound, history-changing books deeply!...I mean these condescending, simplistic, elitist, self-congratulating books. Lakoff actually presents old ideas. His advice is for Dems to change the words they use - change nothing of substance. It's standard marketing advice. But the Clintons and Tony Blair wrote the book on that subject years ago. It's about faking out the voter while you press your agenda....well, more so for Clinton than for Blair, who doesn't make us vomit. And the agenda, as I see it, is to make so many folks dependent on the govt. that they'll be re-elected forever, thus getting themselves on the dole too so they don't have to contend with a real demanding job. And can strut around DC picking up underage chicks while the wife sits home in the boonies. Pathetic. Of course, the problem is that only about 48% max of the voters want to buy the soft socialist soap the Dems are selling. And those voters are essentially all in major urban areas, when you look at that county Red/Blue map. Not many of them in real America unless they're on the dole, which includes the govt. payroll. So it is true that if you want to sell more people this soap, changing the packaging is the place to start - assuming voters are the morons they think they are. From Cooper's interesting review in The Atlantic: "In his best-selling manual of progressive political advice, Don't Think of an Elephant!, Lakoff asserts that political consciousness, and therefore voter choice, is determined by deeply wired mental structures -- "frames" -- that reflect more-general views and values. "The frames," Lakoff writes, "are in the synapses of our brains, physically present in the form of neural circuitry." Notwithstanding this neuroscientific hooey, Lakoff suggests that reframing American politics according to liberal values -- in essence rewiring our collective circuitry -- is but a matter of simple wordplay. When conservatives invoke "strong defense," liberals, Lakoff says, must reframe the concept by referring to a "stronger America." Instead of "free markets," liberals should speak of "broad prosperity." Likewise, "smaller government" must be recast as "effective government," and "family values" as "mutual responsibility." Those greedy "trial lawyers" excoriated by the right should be reframed and praised as brave and selfless "public-protection attorneys." And perhaps most important, when conservatives start promoting more Bushian "tax relief," liberals should respond by defending taxes as "membership fees" or "investments" in America."
