I'm writing about baseball & the good life.

As the Marx Brothers said, there ain't no sanity clause--but these are my latest thoughts about politics, policy, culture, books and other stuff.

Joe Klein is a legend of journalism, and deservedly so. His insights have heft, his clarity is a necessary balm to the excesses of group-think of the very outlets that had once published him, but don't any more. I strongly recommend.

Brain Candy

By Seth Moskowitz

A non-partisan newsletter about politics and elections.

Truly non-partisan political takes. Seth's latest on Chris Christie was spot on, and I have to say a bit of a corrective for me. It made me realize I was giving Christie too much slack bc he is a compelling TV performer.
