For the first time, I got to vote for someone who has sat through my classes in a local race.

@kevinbaker Don’t see a lot of Insular Cases references, but you’re not alone.

“Though a place like West Virginia may seem removed from the jungles of Colombia or the mountains of Mexico, they are connected by U.S. drug control policy.” That’s me, in the NYT today: https://t.co/L8tDiVkNa5

https://t.co/YNKo7NpOAA The story is about Sri Lanka today, yet many of the paragraphs prescribing policy actions could have been cut and pasted from any number of cases going back to the 1950s.

@RenataNKeller Just gotta figure out exactly what Latin America's Cold War encompassed ...

[Dustin Walcher @DustinWalcher]

@RenataNKeller In the ballpark is William Booth's "Rethinking Latin America's Cold War"

Remember, Sen. Kennedy's characterization of "Robert Bork's America" has long been derided as hyper-partisan and untethered from the reality of preferred conservative jurisprudence. How is the quote aging?
