Another day with lots of good choices. I'll go with a Happy Birthday to Al Stewart, 67.
And to the good stuff:
1. Dan Drezner says to college students: read Thomas Kuhn. Excellent advice!
2. A good Scott Lemieux post about the Justice Department decision to give up on any torture prosecutions. I continue to believe that prosecution was not necessarily the right way to proceed -- but "nothing" was far and away and certainly not the right way to proceed. At best, they've absolutely bungled this, and I agree with Lemieux: "a permanent black mark on the Obama administration."
3. Andrew Sprung on Michelle Obama's speech.
4. Women's rights and gay rights -- E.J. Graff.
Jonathan, I began reading Andrew Sprung because you sometimes link here and in your blogroll.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you for that.
Looking forward to your reactions on Michelle Obama's speech.
He's excellent, isn't he?
