Obama, Clinton, Lieberman and the end of dynasty politics http://is.gd/84eQ
Obama's moves on Hillary/Lieberman won't make them loyalists, but they will owe him. Also clears the decks for bigger things going forward.
One theory on the Guardian's supposed Hillary scoop http://is.gd/7ZGp: VIP whispers in a Guardian boss's ear; boss assigns story.
The Somali pirates: the only economic enterprise that won't need a bailout.
Considering he claims few worries and no regrets, and the world now sees him as a marginal figure, why does Bush look so tired?
You say center-right, I say center-left, let's call the whole thing off http://bit.ly/DOvt
Those saying the US is center-right use the Great Society as their point of comparison. Those saying center-left, Reagan through GWBush.

"Africa" - not a country. "Eisenstadt" - not a real person. "Palin" - uh oh.
NYT http://is.gd/7lfQ muddles the details: the Palin "Africa" leak did come from McCain camp. "Eisenstadt" falsely claimed to be the leaker.
Watching South Park demolish "High School Musical" almost makes up for having to sit through HSM3 with my family last weekend. Almost.
A few final (I hope) thoughts on Rosenbaum vs. Jarvis http://is.gd/7cdU
