Is Cleaning Up An Oil Spill Impossible?

almost 2 years ago
Just how hard is it to clean up a big oil spill? Here's one pessimistic take: Charles Wohlforth, who covered the Exxon Valdez spill back in 1989 for the Anchorage Daily News, says the lesson from the Alaska disaster is that massive slicks can be nearly impossible to clean up, for the most part: More than 10,000 workers worked for a summer to wash glue-like oil from cold rocks. After spending more than $2 billion and inflicting untold additional environmental damage through their efforts, the cleanup recovered, at most, 5 to 7 percent of the oil. Some oil still remains in the beaches. Eventually ...

Is The Press Undercovering The Oil Spill? A Historical Look

almost 2 years ago
Reading through The New York Times every day, it can seem like the press has been covering the Gulf disaster obsessively. Indeed, some fishermen in Louisiana are now worried that the media is too focused on the oil spill—to the point where it could harm business even in unaffected areas. But how does all this coverage compare historically? I asked Drexel sociologist Robert Brulle for his thoughts, and he put together some fascinating data. These two charts shows the number of minutes and number of stories that the big three networks have devoted to the BP spill, compared with past disasters ...

The House And Senate Climate Bills, Side By Side

almost 2 years ago
Brad Johnson of ThinkProgress has a nice chart showing all the ways in which Kerry and Lieberman's Senate climate bill differs from the bill the House passed last June. All told, the two bills are surprisingly similar, but I'd say the most significant differences are these: --The Senate bill refunds a greater share of the proceeds from selling carbon permits back to consumers—75 percent versus 45 percent in the House bill. Much of this rebate comes in the form of electric utilities getting free permits and passing on the savings to consumers; I explained the logic behind that move here. ...

Alter-nate Universe

Eric Alterman uses his Nation column to rehash the debate between me and Peter Beinart. Alterman characterizes my argument in two ways. remarkably, both times he describes me as arguing the opposite of what I actually wrote. Here's Alterman: Chait thinks Beinart is naïve—an odd criticism, Beinart notes, coming from someone who contends that Benjamin Netanyahu is sincerely dedicated to the goal of a Palestinian state. Chait and Goldberg say they do not disagree with many of Beinart's criticisms, but they think his focus is misplaced, given the threats Israel faces and the hostility of ...

Political Analysis And Bullshit1

almost 2 years ago
Self-inflicted wounds? First of all, in the macro sense, Obama's political difficulties overwhelmingly result from the combination of an economic crisis and facing a mid-term election. Other events can play a role. The gulf oil spill is creating problems for Obama, but the notion that his response is an important factor in this crisis is fanciful. And the idea that the administration's failed effort to persuade two Senate candidates to stay out of a primary has any meaningful bearing on the President's standing is beyond fanciful. Office 2007 Professional can give people so much convenience. ...

Democrats and Republicans By State

almost 2 years ago
The blue clusters in the bottom left are Democratic states, and the red clusters in the upper right Republican states. Among democrats, those in West Virginia are the most socially conservative, those in Vermont the least socially conservative. So what does this chart tell us? I think it tells us that the Democratic Party's voters are far more divided by social issues than by economics. Look at the plot of figures, centered very closely along a vertical axis. This helps explain why, over the last two election cycles especially, the Democratic Party has recruited socially conservative candidates ...

Helen Thomas And The Rights Of Abhorrent Speech

almost 2 years ago
A few years ago, I wrote about the absurdity of Helen Thomas's image as a paragon of journalistic integrity and the toughest member of the White House press corps. She made her name by being willing to endure the tedium of the stenographic role of the White House press far longer than any sentient reporter could bear. Then she switched to ranting mode, endearing herself to the left but doing nothing to actually hold her subject to account: Office 2007 Professional can give people so much convenience. Her emergence as a liberal icon can be dated to the night of March 6, 2003, when President ...

The Archaeologist as Minotaur

almost 2 years ago
The evocative power of archeological sites stems at least in part from their promise to put us in touch with the reality of an ancient past. The ruined shell of the Roman amphitheater, the terracotta soldiers unearthed near Xi’an, the sandstone façade of Al Khazneh in Petra: all collapse centuries and millennia into a single moment of contact. In some cases, the ruins themselves are so familiar as to generate a sense not of authenticity but of déjà vu, as with Sigmund Freud’s famous “disturbance of memory” during his 1904 visit to the Acropolis in Athens. But as ...

Chinese Wheels1

Sancha’s development has a different effect on each Wei. Wei Ziqi starts a restaurant and guesthouse to cater to outside visitors. He joins the Communist Party and gets involved in local politics, growing more distant from his family. His wife turns to Buddhism. Wei Jia becomes an increasing consumer of television and junk food, and grows round and soft as a result. What they all share is a feeling of confusion, even emptiness. “Many people were searching; they longed for some kind of religious or philosophical truth, and they wanted a meaningful connection with others. They had trouble applying ...

Chinese Wheels

In China, it’s not such a terrible thing to be lost, because nobody else knows exactly where they’re going, either.” This sentiment is at the heart of Peter Hessler’s valuable account of his long road trip across contemporary China. Hessler got his Chinese driver’s license in 2001, at a time when nearly a thousand new drivers registered daily (in Beijing alone) and brand-new roads laced through the country. The Chinese people were in unchartered territory, but proved to be remarkably skilled at improvisation.Many people use Microsoft Office 2007 to help their work and life. ...

A Bad Place To Be

almost 2 years ago
Much as I applaud their collective determination to expand the parameters of American Jewry’s republic of arts and letters and, in the process, to set elite culture on its ear, I am concerned about their lack of attentiveness to the larger, and oftentimes darker, implications of their cultural project. Consider, for instance, the cruel fate of Yiddish in America, its range of motion drastically cut down to size in the New World. A mere shadow of itself, the Yiddish that most Americans know, if they know it at all, is not the language of literature and politics and scholarship and, and, ...

Here's to You, Mrs. Feitlebaum1

Still, not everyone embraced Gross’s cast of characters and the distinctive way they spun a sentence. American Jewry’s cultural custodians, for their part, shuddered at every “wot,” “dot,” and “diss.” Fearful lest immigrant accents and misplaced modifiers got in the way of and clogged the process of Americanization, they saw nothing funny in Gross’s mangled use of English and his equally mangled use of Yiddish. From where they sat, speech was no laughing matter. The cartoonist’s sudden death in 1953, rather than the caviling of critics, put an end ...

“This internal slave trade became the largest enterprise in the South outside of the plantation itself,” Berlin writes, and “[i]ts seasonality—when best to move slaves and when to retain them—became part of the rhythm of Southern life, much like planting and harvest.” Without the young and able-bodied, the plantations of the coastal South became overwhelmingly female and remarkably domestic. “For some seaboard slaveowners, slave children were their most profitable ‘crop.’ ” Between the elections of Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and Abraham Lincoln in 1860, Berlin ...
