- Bumped... So who to root for, considering that my two teams are not in contention (the Cubs and A's)? The White Sox are cross-town arch enemies of the Cubs, while the Astros are bitter division foes. It's a wash.

Others (like me) like the subversive, revolutionary feel and eye-catchiness of the design. What do you guys think? (And yeah, we changed the name from the last time I talked about the book. |

- Via Billmon and Gilliard, John Dean forecasts rain on the Fitzmas Parade: It is difficult to envision Patrick Fitzgerald prosecuting anyone, particularly Vice President Dick Cheney, who believed they were acting for reasons of national security.

- Over at the normally cool TPM Cafe, there has been a pretty hot exchange going on between the Liberal Iraq Debacle Hawks (I use the word Debacle instead of War because I think it is important that we be clear that what they advocated for is a Debacle, whether they thought it would be one or not.) and those who opposed the Iraq conflict. I won't get into the details of the debate - I think Matt Yglesias and Sam Rosenfeld wrote the definitive piece on the issue, but I wanted to note this churlish response from George Packer: Sam Rosenfeld and Matthew Yglesias have written thoughtfully about the limits of liberal interventionism.

- What happens when two great SL builders collaborate and come up with a pile of crap? That's literally what happened to Jeht Pacer and Cottonteil Muromachi, both of who I've praised in pages before. Cotton sent me over a pic, I had no idea they were now working together, and it turned out so... crappy! I beamed in right away to snap the crap. |
