Dean on Majority Report tomorrow evening

By Anonymous -
The Majority Report airs from 8pm-11pm EST on Air America radio. According to host Janeane Garafalo, Dean will join them on the air tomorrow night. The link above goes to the shiny new Air America website, which has literally transformed in the past twenty four hours. I hope you've been tuning in. I've been thoroughly enjoying it, and I'm sure that as the bugs are worked out, AA will become a great station. Majority Report is pretty hip. They've set up a blog and have promised to find a way to integrate the blog taffic into the on-air show. And according to the people hosting the Majority Report blog, the early ratings for Air America have literally broken records:


It's Brian from I Stand For, we're doing the AAR website.
We're so sorry things have been buggy, nobody could have anticipated the response we have received.
We've broken records people... We are Real Audio's #1 stream. We were at 50,000 streams during Al's show around 2:00 EST. We got 350,000 unique visitors from 8:00 last night to 2 this afternoon. That puts us on pace to be a top 50 site...on the entire web. We're talking Bank of America, Dell Computers numbers.
You guys are awesome, this is amazing and we're so proud to be a part of it.


Dean's name has come up on every single show on Air America. Randi Rhodes (who I'd say is the left's equivalent of Howard Stern - funny and aggressive) praised him today and tore up the mass media for pulling a character assassination job on us after Iowa. She also has a slips in a clip of the scream, and it's not mean-spirited at all. She's taking back the scream and making sure everyone knows exactly what happened to us. Majority Report and the OFranken Factor have both waxed nostalgic for the candidacy and praised Howard for kicking in the door so John Kerry could walk through it.

Thanks again, Air America. You're truly a breath of fresh air.

A fair solution to Jerusalem

By Aziz P. -
I remember reading one of the books by Tom Clancy in which Jack Ryan was credited with coming up with a solution for Middle East peace which was pointedly never actually detailed in the novel. It was just a way to give his character some foreign policy cred, but ended up like that mysterious suitcase in Pulp Fiction. I couldn't help but be reminded of that, though, when I read former New York mayor Ed Koch's innovative solution to resolving the status of Jerusalem . Instead of putting the hot-button issue of Jerusalem last on the agenda, the issue should be addressed first. If the Jerusalem question is solved, everything else should fall into place more easily. I believe there is a way to keep Jerusalem unified. I am talking not only of the old walled city, which is a very small part of the city of Jerusalem, but the whole city, east, west, north and south. [...] My suggestion is to situate the new Palestinian capital in that part of East Jerusalem that is occupied overwhelming

Conservatism's shari'a, liberalism's ijtihad

By Aziz P. -
An interesting meta-debate by intellectual conservatives over conservatism's future is playing out. It started with David Frum's Waterloo essay, which led to his political excommunication. Julian Sanchez observed that this represented an epistemic closing of the conservative mind , a thesis that was validated by the retribution visited upon Jim Manzi for daring to suggest that conservatives will achieve more persuasion by using honest, strong arguments instead of weak, emotional ones. All of this has led John Quiggin at Crooked Timber to argue most wisely that as conservatism implodes, liberalism needs to find its own rationale that is more than just "not conservatism". Quiggin has a list of priorities for the liberal movement to address, and closes with the general plea, ...the left has to stand for something more than keeping the existing order afloat with incremental improvements. We need to offer the hope of a better world as an alternative to the angry tribali
