Thursday Miscellany!

• What's behind the swiftboating of Bowe Bergdahl? Justin Raimondo lays it all out for us.


• I think President Obama is misreading Russia's intentions by talking about reconciliation with the West. I don't think Putin wants wars and conquest à la a certain German "leader," but I do believe he's thinking about hegemony --- how to break away from the US-led hegemony, and how to get his own started. Poland, I think, understands this, which is why they want a huge American military base. Given the choice of American hegemony or Russian hegemony, they'd rather have American hegemony. And that's what makes this the opening stage of the new Cold War.


• Is the financial sector becoming irrelevant to the production of anything useful? More here.


• A short essay on the virtue of being stuck up about "young adult" literature. Frankly, I think a lot of what we tell 13-year-olds about love is really dangerous, but that's another story altogether.
