#1 Hmmmm.... What's this "My Berg" thingy?

It appears to be a place where I can categorize and save my favorite 'Berg articles!

I wonder if it'd save all the snippy comments, too?

Maybe I'll try it out!

But not on this article; Hagel is the Kerry of Nebraska; the Boxer of the Heartland.

#2 "Hegelian courage" is rasther common, unfortunately. Here's Exhibit B, from The Economist:

CEO's who support higher minimum wages are not, as the media often casts them, renegade heros speaking truth to power because their inner moral voice bids them be silent no more. They are by and large, . . . the heads of companies that pay well above the minimum wage. Forcing up the labour costs of their competitors, while simultaneously collecting good PR for "daring" to support a higher minimum, is a terrific business move.

#3 I am a Nebraskan, and chuck hegal is No Nebraskan. Hes a plant come to a smal population state to insert another brand of hybrid leftism on all of us....Nebraskans should send him packing, because he does not represent Nebraska values at all.

#4 Im not necessarily a Hagel fan. In particular I disagree with his stances on Immigration issues. And granted hes been openly critical of the Bush Administration regarding the Iraq war. But Boxer of the Heartlanda hybrid leftist??? Seems to me his voting record would suggest otherwise. Im not looking for a scrap here but perhaps someone can enlighten me.

#5 "Hegelian courage" is rasther common"

damn for a second i thought we might have a decent discussion of the historical dialectic and the role of reason in history.

No such luck i guess. The only guy who can talk about that shit in the context of the WOT is Fukayama, and hes no longer PC around here I guess.
