One of “the best and the brightest” died last week, and in Richard Holbrooke we had a perfect example of the dark mischief to which David Halberstam referred when he authored that ironic label.

As Robert Scheer documents, he was everything we've come to expect from those who who rule us.
Speaking of expectations, what is this man speaking about. If a Bu$h had supported the START treaty it would have been voted through with no noise. Likely, the reason it did make it through was that Poppy liked it and called off the dogs. Exploding nukes put a crimp in the profit margin.
We're told, from the One on down the bipartisan DINOcrat line, that the Great Compromiser has only begun to compromise.
We have to compromise, we're told, with those who would rule us to get laws most people support.
The zombies only want a little bite of your brain.
