Michael Kelly's latest column in the Wash. Post - "Marching with Stalinists" tells us who is really behind the "peace" marches and who they're marching with.
More of the same in National Review.

Show's we watched last monday: PTI with Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon.

A fine night of most of my favorite shows.

Reason Magazine and The Economist try to explain. Lomborg replies.

Steve Wozniak was on Screensavers the other day. I like that guy. He made a pro-libertarian comment and showed off his Segway (which he'd brought in his Hummer). My kind of genius.
