    Just read S. A. Lelchuk's 2019 'Save Me from Dangerous Men,' the best kind of beach reading--so gripping you don't want to go out to the beach. Now on to the next in the series, "One Got Away" (2021). Nikki Griffin is kind of a hipper and more anguished (and female) Jack Reacher.

    Seems like these could have been good witnesses during the 2nd impeachment hearing. Oh wait, we didn't have any witnesses.

    Former Acting AG Jeffrey Rosen “also discovered that Mr. Clark had been engaging in unauthorized conversations with Mr. Trump about ways to have the Justice Department publicly cast doubt on President Biden’s victory.”

    “Sen. Blumenthal said Mr. Rosen discussed previously reported episodes, including his interactions with Mr. Clark, with the Senate Judiciary Committee. He called Mr. Rosen’s account ‘dramatic evidence of how intent Trump was in overthrowing the election.’”

    I was also thinking a version of this. Budapest was co- capital of a large, cultured, multi-ethnic and multi-religious --and a pretty tolerant and liberal--empire. Orban's vision isn't a desirable one. But it also doesn't do justice to much of what's best in Hungary's history.

    Hungary isn’t in fact a mono-ethnic country with one set of traditions. It has a long Jewish history, a storied intellectual tradition, and the Roma people have existed there for centuries, with traditions all of their own.

    Good to see a strong defense of the principle and practice of meritocracy, so easily but foolishly maligned these days, from . I'd only add the threat isn't just from progressives. The assault on liberal meritocracy also comes from the Right.

    "America, as Wooldridge writes, was 'born meritocratic.' Meritocracy is as American as immigration, which predisposes Americans to believe in 'self-made men' (a phrase used by Henry Clay in 1832). Meritocracy is as American as the frontier..."

    I'm not unhappy about the Right going all in for Orban--it reveals both their intellectual bankruptcy and political foolishness. (Trumpists yearn for a mythical American past, not Hungary.) What's disgusting is they're helping Orban as other Hungarians fight for a decent future.

    America is more free than Hungary. (And Hungary deserves to be as free as America.)

    "Our beloved BARRED OWL died last night in an accidental collision with a maintenance vehicle." ?!?!?! None dare call it murder. Or at least manslaughter. Or rather, I suppose, owlslaughter.

    We are saddened to learn that our beloved BARRED OWL died last night in an accidental collision with a maintenance vehicle. We will miss her wondrous and beautiful presence in the park.
