Republicans Just Relaunched Their War on Obamacare. It Didn’t Go Well. http://www.slate.com/article... via @slate
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts quoted Yuval Levin’s criticism of the 40-hour change and noted the irony that Republicans were pushing a measure that would both raise the deficit and make more people reliant on Obamacare. “This bill is corporate welfare,” she said. “Big corporations would be able to cut their coverage, and taxpayers would get stuck with the tab. I’m against adding $53 billion to the deficit so corporations can push their responsibilities onto the government.”

'American Sniper' Is Almost Too Dumb to Criticize http://rol.st/1J9qWD4 via @rollingstone
"... And filmmakers like Eastwood, who could have cleared things up, only muddy the waters more. Sometimes there's no such thing as "just a human story." Sometimes a story is meaningless or worse without real context, and this is one of them...."

After reading so many articles about this movie, I think this is the one I've been waiting for. It doesn't hurt that I really enjoy Taibbi's writing. It was nice to see him call out Hollywood for the drivel they have been producing lately and the problems with turning war atrocities into feel-good films.

"I have seen many wars. That’s the strongest group I ever met. Very strong, very clever, very enthusiastic. They are extremely brutal. Not just head-cutting. I’m talking about the strategy of religious cleansing. That’s their official philosophy. They are talking about 500 million people who have to die," he said.
