Pro-war pundits: always wrong, always claiming to be right
Over at a website called Medium that I guess looks prettier than this
website, I explain that neoconservative pundits Max Boot and Deroy
Murdoch are heartless monsters who live in nicer homes than you or me. Read it.

Hooked on finance
My latest piece for Salon is on the recent trend of big banks opening branches literally inside high
schools, ostensibly to teach students how to deal with money but also,
conveniently -- and as they openly admit -- to promote their brands.
Check it out and may peace be with you.

The latest in me
Friends! It occurred to me the other day: I have a blog. I should post things on it. Things I've written! And so here we go.
“The United States doesn’t ever trade its concern for human rights for any other objective," US Secretary of State John Kerry said the other day. I respond on Counterpunch.
Despite a bunch of lawsuits, Hollywood production companies continue to rely on unpaid labor -- though as I note in The Baffler, they'll claim it's a mistake if you ask about it.
That last piece was originally to be published by Vice, a media platform for which I once worked. It was killed because it implicated too many #brands with which Vice may want to partner one day, and because Vice doesn't exactly have a spotless labor record, but such is life. All that out of the way: I wrote a bunch of things for Vice that I never linked to here.
I love you all. Happy Wednesday.
