"My body, my choice" has long been a rallying cry for abortion-rights advocates on the left, many of whom have recently been vocal supporters of the Democratic health care reform agenda. But as abortion advocates are now discovering, abortion rights aren't as easily compatible with health care reform as they might have once thought. As Associate Editor Peter Suderman writes,...

Peter Suderman writes that the GOP is splitting with Big Business . As political alliances go, few are more cemented in the public consciousness than the bond between the Republican Party and business. But, upon closer inspection, the GOP–big business relationship doesn't seem so cozy. Has there ever been a more effective bit of propaganda than the idea that Republicans are all...

Peter Suderman writes that proponents of net neutrality say that the policy is necessary to preserve the Internet's long-standing openness. Without tougher regulations, they claim, we could end up with a corporate-controlled Web that stifles free speech, hurts innovators, and denies the public its rightful access to a powerful communications tool. And they point to studies they argue...

On Newsweek' s website, Reason associate editor Peter Suderman examines conflicts between conservative Republicans and business interests : As political alliances go, few are more cemented in the public consciousness than the bond between the Republican Party and business. But, upon closer inspection, the GOP–big business relationship doesn't seem so cozy. Take health-care reform....

Peter Suderman explains the Democrats' accounting gimmick : Think of it this way: If you decided to add the cost of a gym membership to your budget next year, at $100 a month, it would cost you $1200. But if you decided to wait until July to join, the cost would only be $600 in next year's budget. Cheap, right? Well, not really, because the following year, and every year after, the membership...

... have something helpful to say. Well, today I do: Based on what he says in this Bloggingheads with Peter Suderman , I think Condorf should keep writing, if that's what he wants to do, just not about politics. From the transcript: CONOR: You don't see a lot of journalists making money, but you do see that there's an easy way to sell out as a journalist. If you really want to maximize...

It appears this blog is further devolving into a gaming blog (I just don't have it in me to write about politics right now) and so I bring you Conor Friedersdorf and Peter Suderman discussing games . First things first: Mario Kart 64 was one of the best "good games" ever. By "good game" I mean it was fun to play, anyone could pick up a controller and have at it, and...

Peter Suderman notes that the Democrats' health care plans have to play a finesse: on the one hand they promise that everything will get better; on the other they reassure you that most things will stay just the same. Tricky! Worse, much worse, for those of us who hope that Congress passes or kills health care reform - either, don't care which, just do it sharpish! - is the terrifying...

Peter Suderman takes a look at the odd optimism of Hollywood's latest doomsday epic: 2012 seems to express an earnest hope that, from the smoldering ashes of modern civilization, humanity will triumph, reforming and rebuilding itself into a fresh and functional egalitarian society. All faiths, all creeds, all people, and perhaps all of Hollywood's B-list mediocrities (the film's sprawling...

Peter Suderman on 2012 , the stupid new film based on the stupid 2012 phenomenon : And with its never-ending parade of glorious, ludicrous, and utterly improbable catastrophes, it more or less succeeds. 2012 is the sort of movie so aggressively hyperbolic and devoutly over-the-top that it makes traditional descriptive labels obsolete and thus requires the invention of whole new words....

Peter Suderman makes a list of the negative points of Romneycare, which Obama would use as a model for the rest of us: Both liberals and conservatives agree that 'Massachusetts hasn’t figured out a way to restrain the overall growth in health care costs. If national health care reform fares no better, the country could be in serious fiscal trouble.' The system is not the single...

... NOOO!!! The most glaring example right now is the health reform debate. As this article by Peter Suderman says: “From the time the bill hit Congress, Republicans found themselves opposite big industry interests. From the drugmakers to the doctors to the insurers, every major player in the health-care battle declared themselves willing to work with Democrats to enact some variant...
