1. I can't read anything by David Brooks and the remora attached to him named John Tierney. This is because my brain is not powerful enough and would melt. However, Tom Tomorrow possesses the strength I lack:
Tierney and Brooks aren't really writing about red states and blue states. They're writing about the assumptions about red states and blue states which seem prevalent at the cocktail parties they attend, the dinners they go to. This isn't about liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans--it's about the elites trying to comprehend the lower classes, spinning out competing fantasies at those cocktail parties and on the op-ed pages of major newspapers: you don't understand real Americans like I do! And in a way, it's true--you'll never understand someone else's fantasies as well as they do...
2. Some misguided people think this Dooce entry is extremely funny.
3. Rahul Mahajan wonders whether the terms of Lynndie England's plea bargain included letting off her superiors in the chain of command. Under the Same Sun has more on England and Charles Graner here and here and here.

Since you are, in fact, a penguin, I thought you'd better know about how the immoral lifestyle of your people has led to tragedy.
