But What Did We Learn? Hate-Watching the First Clinton/Trump Debate

By Candace E. West

…te, or ads should be familiar with. Trump started with a dog whistle about Mexico and fleeing jobs, then continued with the moment that set the tone for the rest of the debate: To some it may not seem so bad at first glance, but any woman who has ever had to smile politely while being condescended to at work knows this for the smug, dismissive bullsh*t it is. And that was the debate in a nutshell. It was followed by 90 minutes of Trump trying to b…

Pope Francis Walks With LGBTQ People, One Step Forward, Big Steps Back

By Kaya Oakes

…gender fluidity. He’s also used the phrase in the Phillipines, Poland and Mexico. He seems to have picked it up from the African bishops, who used it to describe foreign aid that comes bound up with conditions about reproductive rights and sexual health. But after dropping the phrase in Georgia, Pope Francis told a different story on the papal plane back to Rome. Josh McElwee of the National Catholic Reporter asked Francis what he would say to so…

A King for Jesus: What the Religious Right Sees in Trump

By Roger O. Friedland

…ent with strong religious beliefs. Trump cannot even pretend to qualify. A number of analysts, particularly liberal ones, see it as the big reveal, that the Christian right is right, not Christian. The political right has captured the Christians, not the reverse. It’s about politics, class and honor, not God. Arlie Hochschild, in her new book, Strangers in Their Own Land, based on her ethnography of Calcasieu Parish in Southern Louisiana, explores…

The Morning After in Colorado

By Paul Harvey

…tually outperformed polling expectations, and won by over two points. (New Mexico appears to be the only other state where Clinton’s polling numbers were under her actual totals. Everywhere else, it was the opposite, with wildly divergent projections versus actuals). Most of the West, excluding the Mormon belt, gave Clinton large margins of victory—even the historically Republican state of Nevada. Just as significantly, Senator Michael Bennet, the…

Why We Should Keep the Devil in Halloween

By Ed Simon

…y and so we have Halloween. The Spanish Conquistadors in sixteenth-century Mexico found that they could conflate their holidays with Aztec observances for Mictecacihuatl, goddess of the underworld, and so we have Dia de los Muertos. In autumn the days get shorter and life begins to die and decompose, the leaves we crunch underfoot are the detritus of the trees that bloomed only a few months before. It certainly feels as if that gossamer veil betwe…

Krapp’s Last Tweet: The Rise (and Fall?) of Privilege in the Digital Economy

By Kevin Healey

…ory.” One wonders whether the proliferation of unsorted images—on our smartphones and in proprietary clouds—might undermine our ability to let go of the past and construct more meaningful long-term memories. More than a mere problem of accuracy in storage and retrieval, memory requires the skillful exercise of selective judgment. It requires meaningful participation in decisions about what and how to remember, as well as what and how to forget. Th…

Hicksters, Stickers, and Affection: Why I Left D.C. for the Family Farm

By Timothy King

…tage or journey of self-discovery, as Thoreau had. Watching as inflation siphoned away nest eggs tucked into savings accounts in the 1970s led to a large-scale interest in investing in the tangible asset of land. The Nearings taught their acolytes how to invest in soil and get one acre to produce enough food to feed 30 families. Broad economic and social forces offer a partial explanation for why innovators and experimenters such as Thoreau, Borso…

Pat Robertson Warns Yoga Will Have You Speaking Hindu

By Andrea R. Jain

…from one of the show’s viewers: My family recently moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico because of my husband’s work. There are a lot of people interested in New Age spirituality in our new neighborhood—dream catchers, yoga, veganism, that sort of thing. My concern is that my teenage daughter is now interested in taking yoga classes with one of her friends. She says it is healthy and will help her flexibility. I worry because it is not based in Christia…

Immigration Reform According to Ralph Reed’s Bible

By Peter Montgomery

…. Other measures should include funds for enhanced security along the U.S.-Mexico border. Modernizing the visa system to track those who overstay visas and fully implementing an E-Verify system to verify workers’ identities will further enhance security. As politicians seek to solve the thorny problem of U.S. immigration policy, they should sit down with the faith community and perhaps open their Bibles. Well, if politicians are looking to scriptu…

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…o see more of Emily, her sister, recently returned from a modeling trip in Mexico. This may have been hinted at in earlier episodes, but here it’s made explicit: Emily and Olivia actually used to party together. This means that Emily is also acquainted with Frankie, the friend from Olivia’s past who has recently shown up again. He’s just a friend, but nevertheless, Olivia’s parents Mark and Cheryl want to know who’s in her life. So they invite Fra…
