From Dissent, look at all of those "socialist" mountains: Kevin Mattson on Ken Burns's National Parks and the Right. From Taki's Mag, Steve Sailer on the unbearable whiteness of Ken Burns; and Scott Lockin on Stuff White People Like. Jeffrey Lord on the unbearable whiteness of being Maureen Dowd. From Esquire, white guilt is anything but dead — a look at the culture's suddenly accelerated cycle of insecurity. David Mamet on race, the subject we can’t stop talking about. When seeing ain't believing, somebody's lying: Joe Bageant on America's white underclass. Forget the suburbs: Prosperous white Americans are settling in even more remote — and homogeneous — communities. The United States as Disunited Duchies: Authors of two recent books, Whitopia and The Big Sort, see Americans as disuniting based on politics, race and culture (and more). Angry white men have real grievances: It is a sign of our weird political moment that the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama will probably hurt him among some of his fellow citizens. From Reason, an article on Obama and the socialist canard: The president is no left-wing extremist. Obama’s delusion: That the central lesson about his domestic enemies has not yet been learned by Obama is the mystery of the first eight months of his presidency. Gideon Rachman on why Obama must start punching harder. Grassroots gone dry: Since President Obama took the oath of office, public activism has fizzled out, and the inability of the administration and Congress to pass necessary legislation is going unchallenged.
