		<description><![CDATA[My dear, dear friend David Kuo slipped away from us at 10:25 last night—April 5, 2013—after a courageous 10-year struggle against a cancer that was insidious and capricious, coming and going and finally staying. He was 44. How do I tell you about David? He was the sweetest of God&#8217;s creatures, and among the wisest, too. He was a man of faith, rather than of religion. He called himself a Follower of Jesus. Many of his friends had ministries, but David&#8217;s church truly had no walls. I met him about 17 years ago. He was an evangelical conservative in those days—and still was, in the truest sense, as his soul left his body, although political &#8220;conservatism&#8221; had taken itself to a place of cruelty that David couldn&#8217;t really abide. I forget what he was doing when I first met him, either working for the Empower America think tank or for Senator Dan Coats, [Actually, it was John Ashcroft.] maybe both. We met because I was writing about faith-based social programs and David knew where to find the best ones. We were friends, I think, instantaneously. He was the least self-righteous man of faith I&#8217;d ever met. He was, in fact, a hoot. He loved oysters and Martinis. And we were fellow members of a long-suffering tribe: We were Mets fans. At one point, David and I decided to go down to spring training—and golf school!—together. At his insistence, we rented a red convertible. David adored life, and living well. He always reminded me that Jesus&#8217;s first miracle was turning water into wine. Ahh, Jesus. He was the heart of the matter. We talked about Jesus a lot. We studied Matthew together. David&#8217;s fundamental verse was Matthew 25: &#8220;when you do this for the least of these, you do it for me.&#8221; It was the verse at the heart of the faith-based social programs that David never tired of promoting. He never could get me to cross the divinity bridge—I am a Jew, for chrissake. But Jesus was, too. He was<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=92232&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The movies won&#8217;t be the same without Roger,&#8221; the President of the United States said today in a statement upon the death of Roger Ebert, one of the most influential American writers and critics of the last quarter century. He was, to begin, a great film critic, a joyful viewer who always preached that great art and popular entertainment were not exclusive. (See his defense of Star Wars, above.) He was also a great essayist, and the world now begs some book publisher to come along to bind his best blog posts, if only so they can be preserved by others who loved the printed word as much as he did. But most importantly, he celebrated humanity, and the things it creates. In 2011, he wrote about his own mortality for Salon: What I expect to happen is that my body will fail, my mind will cease to function and that will be that. My genes will not live on, because I have had no children. I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. O’Rourke’s had a photograph of Brendan Behan on the wall, and under it this quotation, which I memorized: &#8220;I respect kindness in human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don’t respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.&#8221; That does a pretty good job of summing it up. “Kindness” covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=92137&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ten years ago today Secretary of State Colin Powell made his case to the United Nations to go to war with Iraq on the assumption that weapons of mass destruction were held there.  Last year in an interview with TIME&#8217;s Belinda Luscombe, Powell said: I feel bad about any loss of life on either side of the conflict, but I think it was a justified decision based on what we knew at the time. I did it, and as I say in the book (It Worked For Me), I had to move on. I was still Secretary of State. I couldn&#8217;t go in a corner and go fetal. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, the U.S. has spent over $800 billion and 4486 American soldiers have died. Check out the beginning of Powell&#8217;s address to the U.N., and his later interview with TIME, below: Other TIME &#8220;10 Questions&#8221; interviews can be viewed here.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=87184&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.  On December 1, 1955, a 42 year-old Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, landing her in prison.  The courageous act set in motion the Montgomery bus boycott and is viewed as an impetus to the American civil rights movement.  &#8220;The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,&#8221; said Parks of her decision. The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. commemorated the death of Rosa Parks in 2005 in  TIME: With quiet courage and nonnegotiable dignity, Rosa Parks was an activist and a freedom fighter who transformed a nation and confirmed a notion that ordinary people can have an extraordinary effect on the world. In her declining health, I would often visit Mrs. Parks, and once asked her the most basic question: Why did you do it? She said the inspiration for her Dignity Day in 1955 occurred three months prior, when African-American Emmett Till&#8217;s murdered and disfigured body was publicly displayed for the world to see. &#8220;When I thought about Emmett Till,&#8221; she told me, &#8220;I could not go to the back of the bus.&#8221; Her feet never ached. Mrs. Parks&#8217; defiance led immediately to a 381-day bus boycott drum majored by a 26-year-old Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.and ultimately to a nine-year march culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forced red states to comply with the Brown v. Board of Education decision rendered a decade earlier. Her righteous indignation literally changed the world. Long before the Internet, the mother of the civil rights movement cast her global net from the long walk to freedom of Nelson Mandela and black South Africans to the temerity of Chinese students who, against tanks at Tiananmen Square, dared to challenge unjust government policies. Mrs. Parks, who died last week at age 92, was never driven by any political agenda, and she was never abrasive. She united us all with peace and perseverance. God bless<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=87041&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To conclude Swampland&#8217;s five-part tribute to Richard Nixon on his centennial, here is one of the greatest moments from Nixon&#8217;s famous series of interviews with the British journalist David Frost in 1977. The clip comes from the third of four sessions Frost with Nixon, who only three years prior became the first (and only) President to resign.

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Ben Cramer, a journalist I knew and admired greatly, has passed away at the age of 62. He will be remembered among political sorts for his magisterial work about the 1988 presidential campaign, What it Takes. I spent a lot of time with Richard that year, riding the buses, talking about books and politics&#8211;especially about the risk v. reward calculus when it came to writing books: &#8220;Books will break your heart&#8221; became our shared mantra, and What it Takes broke his, under-appreciated by his jealous colleagues and under-read by a public too busy and carefree to digest 1000 pages about one of the more boring political races of the past 60 years. But what a splendid 1000 pages it was! Beautifully written, precisely observed&#8211;and with a larger point that beggared the cheap cynicism that had become, and remains, the default position for so many political journalists. Cramer actually dared to appreciate the incredible intelligence, hard work, courage and, yes, character that went into running for President. At a time when most of his colleagues were calling the Democratic candidates for president &#8220;the seven dwarfs,&#8221; he found a blissfully compelling Irish champion in Joe Biden and reported the anguish of the impassive midwesterner, Dick Gephardt, as the Congressman and his wife struggled with their son&#8217;s cancer. But it was on the Republican side that Cramer found his two classic heroes&#8211;George H.W. Bush and Bob Dole. Both of them combat-scarred veterans of World War II, both dedicated to service, both easy to weep, both open to making political judgments that might harm their careers. Cramer&#8217;s account of Dole&#8217;s remarkable recovery from a grievous wound and the post-traumatic stress that accompanied it was the heart of the book. (I&#8217;ll never forget one precious detail: As he struggled to rebuild muscle strength, Dole listened to &#8220;You&#8217;ll Never Walk Alone&#8221; over and over again.) Cramer defiantly became friendly with his subjects, especially Biden, Bush and Dole. That may have been a bridge too far for those of who of us don&#8217;t dive in, as<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=84345&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This being the week of Richard Nixon&#8217;s centennial, Swampland will pause briefly each day to take note of the 37th president&#8217;s special appeal and powers. To kick things off, we offer up part of one bloodless diagnosis from William Safire, the longtime Nixon aide who had a good grasp on the man from Yorba Linda. It&#8217;s taken from Before the Fall, Safire&#8217;s 1975 look at the pre-Watergate Nixon and how he operated. Take a metaphoric leap: think of Nixon as a layer cake. The icing, the public face or crust, is conservative, stern, dignified, proper — rather formal for a public man in our time, appealing to the elderly and the orderly, a sharp contrast to the two vividly personal Presidents who preceded him. He is aware and philosophic about, the other side of this coin, the other way this icing appears —as, literally, icing, cold and sugary, pious and stiffly obsequious, arrogant and aloof. The first layer of Nixon underneath that icing is a progressive politician, willing and even eager to surprise with liberal ideas…surprisingly graceful in moments requiring diplomatic understanding or personal warmth, occasionally impulsive… often sentimental — in this layer, a veritable Mr. Nice Guy. Underneath that is an unnecessarily pugnacious man who had to scrape for everything he has in life and don&#8217;t you forget it: self made, self-pitying but not self-centered….<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=84300&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

They were high school friends, who went on to become founding writers for Saturday Night Live, and much more. Davis died last week after a long battle with cancer. On Thursday, Franken took to the Senate floor to speak about the death of his friend, laughter and loss. Take the time to watch, if you can. Here is a link to the Julia Child sketch Franken describes. &#160;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=74620&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andrew Breitbart&#8217;s last big appearance in Washington took place a few weeks ago, outside a Marriott hotel where conservative activists had gathered. Protesters from the local Occupy movement were laying siege in the parking lot, and Breitbart started to scream at them. &#8220;Behave yourself,&#8221; he began, before moving on to more incendiary language. &#8220;You are freaks and animals &#8230; Stop raping the people, you freaks. You filthy freaks. You filthy, filthy, filthy raping, murdering freaks.&#8221; No one else joined in. But Breitbart wasn&#8217;t really looking to lead a counterprotest. He was trying to seize the spotlight, and he did it quite well. More outrageous, noisy and defiant than anyone around him, he was impossible to ignore. But now his showmanship has come to an end. Breitbart, 43, died on March 1 in California of natural causes, according to his website, Big Government. (MORE: Occupy the Regulatory Open Comment Period!) Eras of national tumult are particularly good at creating characters like Breitbart. He was not the first to find fame and fortune by recasting politics as a verbal blood sport. Commentators like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher had been making a mint calling people names for years before him. But Breitbart was the first to do it so successfully with the Internet as his primary medium, and with original, sometimes misleading muckraking as his primary technique. And in that, he leaves behind a generation of would-be ideological warriors and partisans who will follow in his footsteps. What Breitbart did wasn&#8217;t only journalism. It also wasn&#8217;t only entertainment. And it wasn&#8217;t only combat. In his furious rants and explosive exposés, he pushed the bounds of what could be considered advocacy for a new information age. His foes were not just wrong. They were &#8220;the lowest life form I have ever seen.&#8221; He was not just speaking truth to power. He was trying to obliterate entire power structures. Breitbart&#8217;s drive kept him in the headlines. He passed around explicit photos that had been taken by former Democratic Representative Anthony Weiner, though Breitbart<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=66931&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My reaction is similar to Andrew Sullivan&#8217;s, though I wasn&#8217;t as close to Christopher as Andrew was. Hitch and I had several memorable&#8211;to me, at least&#8211;sparring sessions. When we debated in England, just before 9/11, he attacked me from the left. When we debated in America, after 9/11, he attacked me from the right. His &#8220;inconsistency&#8221; was brilliant: his focus had moved from America as crass hegemon to radical Islam as a threat to the freedom he loved and used so well. He was right and wrong about both, as most of us usually are, but that&#8217;s not the point: Every moment in his presence was joyous, even when we were arguing; he was wildly entertaining, by turns provocative and gracious. He may have been among the last of his kind&#8211;truly, a thought-full man of letters, rather than of &#8220;takes&#8221; and sound bites. I will miss the joy of reading him, and chatting with him at parties; but more, I worry that Hitch is taking with him a world, a world of contemplative reading and writing&#8211;the very opposite of what I am doing right now, posting an immediate reaction to his death on this blog. He lived life perpetually intoxicated, not just by booze (he was happily soused during our English debate), but by books and words and thoughts and ideas. I will miss him, and all the excesses he cherished. We need more such, and are left with less.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=61537&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lawrence Eagleburger, the only career foreign service officer ever to be named Secretary of State, died Saturday at his home in Charlottesville, VA. Eagleburger, 80, had a long and storied career as an American diplomat that began in the 1950s. He was the quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) guiding force behind several decades of politically appointed Secretaries of State. He served Democrats as well as Republicans from Eisenhower to Bush 1, and formed a particularly strong partnership with Henry Kissinger during the Nixon era. His biography is a descant to the last 50 years of American foreign policy. The son of a Milwaukee doctor he once described as more conservative than Genghis Khan, Eagleburger joined the foreign service in the late 1950s, served in Belgrade and in Washington before taking up a series of high level, politically sensitive posts. He worked for Dean Acheson when Lyndon Johnson called him back to service; for Walt Rostow at the National Security Council, at NATO Headquarters in Brussels and of course for Kissinger under Nixon. By the early 1980s, Eagleburger had emerged as something of a secret weapon of presidents and secretaries of state, a man who could take the visionary ideas of, for example, a Kissinger, and somehow push them through the state department’s often sluggish back offices. He was ideologically moderate, ruthlessly hard-headed about American interests and unusually effective behind the scenes. “Eagleburger was bright,” wrote David Halberstam, “with a practical rather than abstract intelligence and his greatest strength was his shrewd reading of the people around him.” He was “virtually without peer in knowing how to work within the bureaucracy and actually make things happen.” Being a career foreign service officer, he often was called upon to do the dirty work that the secretaries of state themselves preferred to dodge. At this the often blunt spoken Eagleburger proved to be uncommonly good, as when he informed an unhappy Margaret Thatcher of George Herbert Walker Bush’s plan to reduce the number of troops in Europe in 1989 or was sent<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=49365&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost 17 years have passed since a fellow named George W. Bush was elected governor of Texas—17 years of uninterrupted Republican dominance of the Lone Star State. After all that time, it’s easy to forget that Texas did not always belong to the GOP. Like the rest of the former Confederacy, Texas was solid for the Democrats for roughly a century after the Civil War. The shift of the South from Democratic to Republican is one of the keys to understanding contemporary politics. But while every politics gearhead can explain the significance of party shifters like Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Jesse Helms of North Carolina, one of the key figures in the rise of the Texas GOP is largely forgotten. William “Dollar Bill” Clements, the first Republican governor elected in Texas post-Reconstruction, died on Sunday in a Dallas-area hospital, with scant notice from the blogosphere. Why the obscurity? For one thing, Clements never held elected office in Washington, and thus never became as famous, or infamous, as his fellow Texas trailblazers John Tower or George H.W. Bush. For another thing, Clements had a decidedly mixed record, grappling with an economy in fitful transition from over-dependence on oil and gas. For a third thing, his election in 1978 was quickly followed by Ronald Reagan’s win in 1980, at which point the rise of the Sunbelt GOP was no longer a breaking news story—it was a fait accompli. Mit Spears is well-known in Washington as a veteran of the Reagan Justice Department, former General Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission, accomplished private practice attorney—and hunnert-percent Texan from his boots up. He got his start with Dollar Bill (the nickname derived from Clements’ vast self-made fortune from the oil-drilling business and his willingness to spend millions on his own campaigns). I asked him this morning to share a few thoughts by e-mail: Lessee&#8230; How about the time when he first met the Executive Director at the Department of Water Resources and told him that ‘I didn&#8217;t spend $7 million of my<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=48964&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
