A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Will Scooter Libby get out of jail free?
On a one-four card survey of the likelihood of “get out of jail free” cards via a pardon from Bush, Slate gives Scooter four cards.
