As Statues Fall, the Specter of the Noose Rises
In Mississippi, the historic epicenter of racist terror, a legislator says those who bring down Confederate memorials should be “lynched.”I have no wish to refight the civil war.

Opinion
Journalism in the Age of the Body Slam
Had the reporter in Montana been attacked by a Democrat rather than a Republican, he would have been hailed as a victim of liberal rage."Yet in the aftermath of the assault on Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian, by Greg Gianforte, the Republican candidate for a special House election in Montana, too many conservatives are either doubting the event occurred, despite audio evidence and witness testimony by a Fox News crew, or praising Mr. Gianforte for giving the press what it deserves."

Roger Boesche, Professor Who Stirred Obama’s Interest in Politics, Dies at 69
Asked in 2010 to name his favorite college course, President Barack Obama replied, “I had a wonderful political science class. I still remember the name of the professor, Roger Boesche.”I was profoundly bored by my political science class.
I felt cheated.
Politics is a civic duty.
