The End of Iraq Changing Maps in the Mideast
JUNE 14, 2014 an enterprising observer circulates a map of what the Middle East might look like, well, after: after America’s wars in the region, after the various revolutions and counterrevolutions, after the Arab Spring and the subsequent springtime for jihadists, after the Sunni-Shiite struggle for mastery. At some point, these cartographers suggest, the wave of post-9/11 conflict will necessarily redraw borders, reshape nation-states, and rub out some of the lines drawn by Sir Mark Sykes and François Georges-Picot in a secret Anglo-French treaty almost 100 years ago.

That Other Obama
April 5, 2012

2011 Michael Morris and his 2-year-old son, Jacob, visit this small town’s enormous new $14 million fishing museum. They watch bream and bass swim in aquarium-size tanks. They play with an interactive model of a fishing boat and try to catch fish on a computer simulation using a rod and reel connected to a video screen. And because the museum, the Go Fish Georgia Educational Center, is primarily financed by the state, their father-and-son outings cost only $5. “It’s amazing,” said Mr. Morris, a car salesman and recreational fisherman. “When Jacob gets old enough, I hope this will be part of what makes him really get into fishing.” But not all Georgia taxpayers are so thrilled. Even before the museum opened in October, “Go Fish” had become shorthand in state political circles for wasteful spending.

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
November 1, 2010
ELECTION day could not have come too soon,
after what felt like many long and
painful weeks. and the glorious reds and golds of upstate New York in autumn lay clumped and muted. On my way to work, as I do every day, I trudged by the large corner house that is covered in signs, some soaked and wilted in the rain, others protected behind the glass street-facing windows. Many of the signs were for Ann Marie Buerkle, the Tea Party candidate for New York’s 25th
Congressional district.
