MGB: I will not bother reading Weigel's latest screed,  He has become incredible - meaning no facts he presents can be believed due to the bias on his analaysis.  Indeed, he could have likely written a similar article with the name Obama as a general replacement and his funders and audience would be just as happy.  Frankly, and Catholic paper that carries is weekly column should warn their bishop about early retirement.  Lucky for them, Francis does not roll that way - which is why Weigel should mostly be ashamed.



Speaking of shame, we have young Conrad.  I would not increse the inheritance tax basee on his behaivior.  Indeed, he will need that money, because the management of Hilton should take a long hard look at whether he should be invited into any of their properties except as a guest.



Arnold Beichman, also known as winner number three today seems to be out to further settle an old score with FDR (Hoover himself was much more of a gentleman).  He needs to read Adam Ulam who proves the general outline and George Kennen , who told us exactly what happened at Yalta and exactly who wanted it.  It was Chruchill who demanded that Germany be divided, a position he regretted when Russian military ability proved more than anyone had thought (although behind the scenes we knew that it was - and probably still is, a disaster. It is actually good we did not know, because this kept our adventuresome nature from responding and starting another war in Europe (we went ahead in Korea anyway).
