[What is this?]



« McCain and the Swifties | The Blog home page | But When Will Obama Visit Arrogant Town? »

Required Reading

In spite of the late posting, all of this will be on tomorrow's quiz:

From The New York Times, "The Choice They Made" by William Kristol. The Founding Fathrs are not only still relevant today - we need them more than ever.

From the Wall Street Journal, "The Tragic End of Bush's North Korea Policy" by John Bolton. Read it and weep.

From NRO's The Corner, "Obama Zigzags on Iraq" by Pete Hegseth. At least Obama's about to flip-flop in the right direction. Probably.

From the Wall Street Journal, "Obama's Dry Hole" by the editors. Trying to introduce facts into the energy debate. Silly Journal. (What does Obama need with oil since in his view the gas-less car is only a few years away?)

From the New York Times, "Anxious in America" by Tom Friedman. Sample quote: "We need nation-building at home, and we cannot wait another year to get started. Vote for the candidate who you think will do that best. Nothing else matters." Nothing else matters? Does that mean I can now use my priceless collection of Tom Friedman books on the Middle East as doorjambs? Finally!

Bonus: From the This Ain't Hell blog, "Guantanamo Protest in DC." Behold! The lamest protest in the history of protesting!

Literally dozens of passersby (perhaps) protesting the Guantanamo detention center this weekend.
