Cheers to Katha Pollitt for resigning her editorial post at the Nation (she will remain a columnist) in protest against the magazine publishing a signed editorial by a rightwing entrepreneur by the name of Unz. Unz wrote about public schools and while he is opposed to vouchers, he says many ridiculous things about schools. Pollitt correctly points out that the Nation has given this dog a liberal credibility utterly undeserving.
Also, Doug's article on social welfare spending and poverty in various nations in the last LBO is excellent. Check it out.
