    The DNC didn’t change the rules to ensure good, diverse candidates could remain on the debate stage. They shouldn’t change the rules to let a billionaire on. Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to play by different rules—on the debate stage, in our democracy, or in our government.

    If Aaron Sorkin had wanted to challenge the moral blind spots of our time, all he would have had to do is leave Harper Lee’s version of To Kill a Mockingbird alone. In trying to make it politically progressive, he has made it morally regressive.

    "to get much lauded for a Broadway production, the safest route is to affirm the prejudices and moral blind spots of your time rather than challenge them. ... Sorkin, in trying to make the story edgier, has taken the edge off it."

    Interview on my new book: Rituals and Practices in World Religions. The idea was to have religious studies scholars describe rituals and practices for scientists to potentially study and for clinicians to better understand. There's more than just mindfulness and yoga out there!

    It shouldn’t surprise anymore that Max Boot still thinks engaging in regime change in Venezuela (and Bolivia) and elsewhere is a good idea, but for an overview for why it is not and why the academic research shows his view to be incorrect, see:

    Good NYT piece by . Though Trump's Israel-Palestine "peace" plan is uniquely bad, it's in some ways a natural culmination of longstanding US policy.

    I had a great time talking to droll Chicago Tribune columnist about media & politics. Particularly enjoyed the chance to do a little NPR-bashing. You can watch on - - or listen on The Wright Show podcast.

    "This week’s version of 'Suleimani had blood on his hands but the US shouldn’t have killed him” was “Glenn Greenwald annoys me but Brazil shouldn’t prosecute him.'" That's a Jerry MaGuire ("you had me at hello") quality opening from .

    It's a strange feeling reading an essay by another person which explains your thinking, your ideology and - for want of a better word - your style better than you've explained it yourself. But that's how I felt reading this essay on the events of the last week:
