Joan Walsh - Misc.

  • Michael Jackson's sad exit

    A huge talent, a racial pioneer and a very sad, strange man gets a surreal celebrity send-off. Why did I watch?
  • Taking a short vacation

    See you June 30!
  • "Every kid gets a trophy"

    Bush's goodbye address is a festival of self-pity and delusion.
  • One happy ending to "The Wire"

    If you found the show's bleak view of the inner city too depressing, you'll love Wendell Pierce's New Orleans rebuilding project.
  • Colbert and Springsteen: Still sexy

    We came up with a new list of hot men for 2007, but we still love the guys from last year, too.
  • Schumer: Arrogance or impotence?

    Why did the New York Democrat cave in to Bush on Mukasey?
  • Why is this man crying?

    George H.W. Bush gets teary talking about a time when American soldiers treated prisoners with respect.
  • When waterboarding was a crime

    Americans knew the practice was torture back when we prosecuted the Japanese for using it after World War II.
  • I can't believe it's not torture, continued

    Should Mukasey be confirmed as attorney general if he can't say whether waterboarding is torture?
  • Perino watch

    Couldn't the White House find someone competent to succeed Tony Snow?
  • Am I in bed with MoveOn?

    More kinky fantasies from wacky right-wingers!
  • A fine time to go on vacation

    Unfortunately, big news or not, I'm leaving on vacation -- I'll be back July 24.
  • The scary Cheney news keeps coming

    He went too far for John Yoo and Ted Olson? More from the chilling Washington Post series on the vice president.
  • America without makeup

    Looking at Paris Hilton, seeing George W. Bush.
  • What Iranian hard-liners have in common with the White House

    They fear George Soros, as well as women's rights advocates. Behind the troubling arrest of Haleh Esfandiari and other Iranian reformers.
  • The Justice Department vs. Joe Conason

    How Mark McKinnon helped the White House fight the Salon columnist's charges against Alberto Gonzales.
  • Wolfowitz won't resign? Good

    Why should he -- or the Bush administration -- get a face-saving exit deal? The World Bank should fire his ass. Plus: My favorite things on Salon right now.
  • Fondling Stephen Colbert

    I couldn't watch when Jane Fonda sat on his lap and caressed the talk show host. Am I a prude?
  • God save the queen!

    With his bizarre gaffes on Monday, Bush managed to insult Queen Elizabeth and his mother -- a second time.
  • Things I got wrong, and right

    Bush's approval rating is in fact in the 20s now, but did I really misspell Will Ferrell's name? A few other corrections and updates.
  • No reprieve for Alberto Gonzales

    A two-day testimony delay won't help the attorney general, who says "to my knowledge" he didn't target U.S. attorneys for replacement. But how much doesn't he know? Maybe he should talk to Scooter Libby?
  • Bill Donohue and I -- together at last!

    It's Holy Thursday, and on "Scarborough Country" we're debating whether the media is persecuting Christians. Guess which side I'm on.
  • A depressing victory for Bill Donohue

    And a defeat for the rest of us -- no chocolate Jesus at New York hotel.
  • Bill Donohue and the big chocolate Jesus

    The Catholic League bully is fixated on the cocoa genitals of a 6-foot sculpture of Christ on the cross, but I see a sly play on Easter commercialism and the myth of a white Jesus.
  • Refuting Karl Rove's talking points

    Only five of almost 500 attorneys have been fired midterm in the last 25 years. Can we stop saying what Bush did is just what every president does?
