The GOP Primary Capsule, Countown Four Days to the Rapture

By Sarah Posner

…, but not too much. Already Iowa voters are turning on Newt Gingrich — the latest viral video is an Iowan, angry about Gingrich’s criticism of Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan (something Gingrich has since spinelessly walked back from). The voter tells Gingrich, “Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?” That’s obviously never been a consideration for Gingrich. Speaking of not being able to stop himself, Gingrich plans more repent…

Marxism, the Opium of the Professoriate?

By Theo Hobson

…ianity in the face of the new atheism—though he is not a Christian. In his latest book, Why Marx was Right, he is advocating the creed he has always signed up to, Marxism. But he fails to convince that he really believes it. The book is structured around ten conventional objections to Marxism: that it has lost its relevance, that it is violent, that it overvalues economics, that it is impossibly perfectionist, that it neglects identity politics, a…

Will bin Laden’s Death Finally Quell Obama Conspiracy Theories?

By Anthea Butler

…ing short of the n-word, will be suspended as they try to figure out their latest spin on this blockbuster story. My guess is that they will credit the troop effort, and ignore that this was a decision on the part of the commander in chief to make the hard decision to go forward and commit troops to the operation. The crowds singing patriotic songs in front of the White House, Ground Zero and other sites are a spectacle, celebration, and cipher to…

Is Terry Jones the Death Rattle of the White Male Protestant?

By Gary Laderman

…dol” contestants, or breakout stars from “The Real Housewives of…,” or the latest YouTube sensation. The hundreds of articles and blogs lined up on Google News will likely grow in the week ahead, thanks in part to events that have begun to unfold in Dearborn—including Jones almost shooting himself in the foot in the parking lot of a local TV station, and his outraged response to a court order prohibiting his planned protest. It will get ugly, no d…

The Scandal of the Cross

By Jeremy Biles

…olence of the barbarous acts that were committed.” This incident marks the latest, and perhaps most spectacular, in a line of attacks on the image. Piss Christ, as the photo is commonly referred to, was among the first shots fired (or first casualties suffered, depending on your perspective) in the culture wars of Reagan-era America. In 1989, Republican senator Jesse Helms denounced the photo, characterizing Serrano as “not an artist” but a “jerk….

Possible Heir to Dalai Lama Cleared of Corruption Charges

…ever, given the prospective role—which actually now looks more and more like an obligation—that this Karmapa could play going forward, this latest incident may have served a significant purpose….

Arcade Fire and the Suburban Soul

By Paul Harvey

…paranoia of the last decade—wars, attacks, economic crashes, myriad color-coded fears—run through Arcade Fire’s three full-length records: Funeral, Neon Bible, and The Suburbs. The newest effort induces a tour of previous decades, when suburbia seemed (but only seemed) to offer placidity and refuge from the wilderness downtown. In reality, of course, that placidity hid a multitude of dreams and terrors, both public and private, uncontainable with…

Romney Goes to Bat Against Reid in Nevada

By Joanna Brooks

…of fear and resentment. How ugly is it getting? Check out Sharron Angle’s latest television ads which depict Reid as the ally of scowling, bandana-browed Latino gangstas and Angle as the ally of white schoolchildren and college graduates—an open appeal to the racist us-vs.-them sentiment that always surges during economic downtimes. It will not bode well for Mr. Romney if voter sentiments don’t simmer down before the Republican presidential prima…

The Tea Party are Sodomites

By Jay Michaelson

…applying to many more straights than gays. (Indeed, to more teenagers: the latest surveys show that 55% of teens have had oral sex, including over 87% of non-virgins.) Then again, in America, these “neutral” sodomy laws were almost always prosecuted against gays only, and since the medieval period there has never been any doubt as to who the real Sodomites are, notwithstanding the broader definition. Jordan goes further, arguing persuasively that…

Julian Assange Nativity, Castro’s Hanukkah, & a Burger Blessing

By Michael J. Altman

…st Church says it will picket Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral. According to the latest WikiLeaks dump, Saudi Arabian King Abdullah once criticized the mutaween, who enforce Islamic behavior in his country, for treating people like donkeys. He said they take a stick and hit you with it, saying “Come donkey, it’s time to pray.” A new survey of Muslims around the world reveals mixed feelings about Hamas and Hezbollah but an outright rejection of al Qaeda…
