Court Releases Redistricting Maps →
They’re a long time coming, and they may be just as bad as everyone in Travis County expected. The San Antonio judicial panel has released its interim House, Senate and Congressional maps for the 2012 elections and, to all intents and purposes, Austin and Travis County may as well not exist.

The Myth of Europe: The euro crisis isn't really... →
“Europeanness remains a secondary, cooler identity,” Garton Ash wrote. “Europeans today are not called upon to die for Europe. Most of us are not even called upon to live for Europe.” This is the crux of the issue. It wouldn’t matter if the EU remained the sort of NAFTA-style trade bloc it was until the early 1990s. But when a state loses its right to veto laws it...

Nothing can bring me down right now.
I have tamales and chicken tacos. Okay, so they’re microwavable and kind of mediocre. Don’t care.

Your ancestors may have traveled here, but that makes them, and only them,...
