Unqualified Offerings

Franklin Harris reviews the Hulk movie in his weekly Pulp Culture column.

Tacitus gets blogger fatigue syndrome – with a bonus fanboy reference in the title. I wish, unironically, I could be as unsure as he describes himself.
Arthur Silber indicts pro-intervention Objectivists and libertarians for abetting a program that must lead to the opposite of liberty, or justice for all, for that matter. Excerpt:
