By Adam Yaghi

…children of darkness.” The Muslims are coming, Netanyahu implies in a clash-of-civilizations tone, declaring, “I tell our friends in the enlightened world: Our war is also your war. If we do not stand together in a united front, it will reach you as well.” In their different ways, Netanyahu and Biden—in spite of the latter’s recent timid criticism of the former—echo the longstanding and multi-sourced discourse of erasing the presence of indigenous…

By Lauri Lebo

…uldn’t be able to make stuff up.” Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy But Bachmann’s reticence is hardly a surprise. As Allison Kilkenny pointed out on AlterNet, “perhaps such ignorance should be expected from the woman who stood on the House floor and declared that the threat of manmade global warming doesn’t make sense because “carbon dioxide is a natural byproduct of nature.” Kopplin, a Louisiana High Sch…

He is now honored as one who knows “what it means to be a man,” which includes a $2,000 prize “and a manly stash of Old Spice products.” “It was not possible,” according to the contest rules, “or even desirable to quiz each candidate about their political, religious,…

RDBook: The End of the World As We Know It

By Gabriel Mckee

…ories to tell means that something has survived. In a way, these aren’t end-of-the-world stories at all, because the world doesn’t really end—or rather, the world ends, but humanity carries on. These are post-apocalyptic stories, and their focus is not on destruction, but rebuilding. That hopefulness sneaks its way into most stories in the subgenre. Cormac McCarthy sneaks it into the last few paragraphs of his oppressively bleak novel The Road, bu…
