The table of contents of the March issue of The American Conservative seems to have a problem. I haven’t seen the print edition yet, but the page numbers in the online edition’s table of contents don’t match the pages numbers in the magazine. There was a similar, though smaller-scale, problem with last month’s issue. In [...]

“Among the loneliest creatures in the universe”
The other day, Eve Tushnet posted a link to this post by Mark P. Shea. Shea is responding to remarks by Watergate figure Charles Colson, who was in turn discussing the question of whether puppets Bert and Ernie, of Sesame Street fame, should marry each other. Colson approvingly quotes the official statement from the producers [...]

In the flesh?
Most Sundays, Mrs Acilius and I can be found in a Quaker meeting down the street from our home. She is a member of that meeting and a convinced adherent of the brand of Christianity associated with Quakerism; I’m not a member of any religious group, nor am I convinced of the truth of any [...]

The American Conservative, April 2010
My favorite read from the antiwar Right has undergone quite a few changes since it began in 2002. Founding editors Pat Buchanan and Taki Theodoracopulos are long gone from The American Conservative, and the hard line those men have taken against immigration from poor countries to rich ones is no longer the magazine’s editorial policy. Last year, the magazine [...]

The American Conservative, December 2009
Fifteen writers list “The Best Books You Haven’t Read“; I don’t know about you, but the only one on any of the lists that I had read was Sam Tanenhaus’ pick, The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham. And that one did not make a very good impression; it struck me as one part dumbed-down Max [...]

What is an “ex-gay”?
When a friend asked me shortly after my religious conversion what an “ex-gay” was, I replied, “Oh, that’s what evangelicals call their gay people.” [Disputed Mutability, via Eve Tushnet]

Sexuality, Women, and the Movies
Eve Tushnet promotes her review of some recent film release with a mock headline declaring it ”A terrific date movie! Unless you’re heterosexual or something.” I love that “or something.” I’m not sure whether she includes her non-heterosexual self among those for whom the picture is a less than terrific date movie. Friend of the blog Duncan Mitchel has recently put [...]

The American Conservative, November 2009
In this issue, former FBI employee Sibel Edmonds names some prominent US officials whom she believes to have accepted bribes from foreign governments. Eve Tushnet visits a Washington, DC locale known to the federal government as Meridian Hill Park, though she has “only seen its maiden name in two places: District government plaques and local girl Florence [...]

The American Conservative, October 2009
The cover may suggest an alarmist piece about Pakistan. The article actually in the issue, though, is precisely the opposite. Granting that Pakistan is an important country that has very serious problems, it asserts that there is no chance that it will break up, fall into the hands of Osama bin Laden, or launch a [...]
