Sunkara should have Nápolean write some pieces for Jacobin. He has some astute observations and an international perspective

Bhaskar! Have him on more often. Bhaskar can say in a sentence what Ben Burgis (bless his professorial soul) takes several minutes to say. ;-P Brooksy can say in a word what it takes Bhaskar a sentence to say. This is the Law of the Three B's.

There is a lot of material for next weeks "bad" segment on Bill Mahers recent Real Time episode. My favorite was suggesting super delegates nominate Klobuchar as a compromise candidate between Biden and Warren. He is assuming Bernie will drop out. Krystal Ball brought some sanity to the episode.

The quote: In the charmed circle of neoliberal and neoconservative journalism, “unpredictability” is the special emblem and certificate of self-congratulation. To be able to bray that “as a liberal, I say bomb the shit out of them” is to have achieved that eye-catching, versatile marketability that is so beloved of editors and talk-show hosts. As a lifelong socialist I say don’t let’s bomb the shit out of them. See what I mean? It lacks the sex appeal somehow. Predictable as hell. Picture, then, if you will, the unusual difficulties faced by Charles Krauthammer, newest of the neocon mini-windbags. He has the arduous job, in an arduous time, of being an unpredictable conformist. He has the no less demanding task of making this pose appear original and, more, of making it appear courageous. At a time when the polity (as he might well choose to call it) is showing signs of Will-fatigue, it can’t be easy to write an attack on the United Nations or Albania or Qaddafi and make it seem like a lone, fearless affirmation. An average week of reading The Washington Post Op-Ed page already exposes me to appearances from George Will, William F. Buckley Jr., Jeane Kirkpatrick, Norman Podhoretz, Emmett Tyrrell, Joe Kraft, Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, and Stephen Rosenfeld. Clearly its editors felt that a radical new voice was needed when they turned to the blazing, impatient talents on offer in The New Republic—and selected Krauthammer. I dare say Time felt the same way when it followed suit. We live in a period when a chat show that includes Morton Kondracke considers that it has filled the liberal slot.
