At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Friday, April 26, 2013. The W Bush Library. With the opening of the George W. Bush presidential library at Southern Methodist University (why not Harvard or Yale - where he actually attended? There is more rethinking of his legacy. Ezra Klein. Have different takes.

Lunchroom Debate: 9/2/12 - 9/9/12
http://lunchroomdebate.blogspot.com/2012_09_02_archive.html
At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Thursday, September 06, 2012. I didn't watch Mitt Romney's convention speech (nor will I watch President Obama's speech), but I did read the coverage of it and one line stuck out. He said:. You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him. The question is whether voters will understand this. Will they only realize their disap...

Lunchroom Debate: Support All Families
http://lunchroomdebate.blogspot.com/2013/04/support-all-families.html
At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Saturday, April 06, 2013. Ross Douthat tweeted this week. That liberals are unlikely to support two-parent families once they (we) win the battle on marriage equality. My response was. Why should we only support two-parent families - why not support all families? Those that hold the biblical and judgmental view that single-parent families are immoral will of course want policy to push people into two-parent situatio...

At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Book Report - Best Biographies: UPDATED. This is my attempt to put together a list of the best biographies on important people (as it turns out, mostly American Presidents). I haven't read all of the books on here. The one's I haven't read are included based on reputation. (The books I have read are noted with an asterisk. Where you can get a good idea of their life in just a few hours.

Lunchroom Debate: On Drones
http://lunchroomdebate.blogspot.com/2013/03/on-drones.html
At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Wednesday, March 06, 2013. I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I feel the overwhelming need to write about drones. This latest article in the Huffington Post. The 5th Amendment says the government cannot deprive someone of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Obama says that what he is doing - without any involvement of the judicial or legislative branches - is due process. Someone on Tw...Furth...

At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Friday, September 28, 2012. We are all very familiar with Romney's taped comments about how 47 percent of the country didn't pay income taxes and are therefore dependent on the system and don't take responsibility for their lives and think they are entitled to benefits. There has been a lot of discussion about this, some of it very good and smart. I want to add my thoughts here. There are so many things wrong with t...

Lunchroom Debate: Iran and Containment
http://lunchroomdebate.blogspot.com/2013/05/iran-and-containment.html
At my old job, I used to goad people into arguments during lunch. That made me unpopular. Sunday, May 12, 2013. In other words, there is a country that has made statements that are far more clear about a desire to attack their neighbor and yet has acquired a nuclear weapon. We have chosen containment in that example because attacking is too risky. My point with this whole diversion is that too often the arguments made are not objectively true. And that is clear by looking at other examples. But t...Zealo...
