  • Who else decided to pretend that they liked Elizabeth Edwards? Why, Tina Brown and Kathleen Parker, of course.
  • Thomas Friedman wrote something so stupid today that Jonah Goldberg wrote something I approve of.
  • Barack Obama's "widows and orphans" line about Social Security is incorrect. As is his characterization of the left-wing position on healthcare reform, but whatever.
  • Celebrate John Lennon by reading the "many gross pages of documents" that the FBI has posted relating to their hounding of him.
