- The Things He Carried (Jeffrey Goldberg, Atlantic) TSA is a jobs program, not a security program. Once people get that through their heads, it really won't be surprising. Some nations are serious about airport security. But we are not.
- How to Read the Constitution (Clarence Thomas, WSJ) For the reading-challenged!
- Here the People Rule (William Kristol, NY Times)
- Ortega Amnesia (Jackson Diehl, WaPo) What's so confusing about this? The Bush Administration is spent.
- Did Apple reboot an important product announcement? (Robert Cringely, PBS.org) While the local tech columnist and Apple fanboy wee-wees all over himself re: Apple's lackluster rollout, Cringely tells us that what is important is what was NOT announced.
- Mayor who wanted 'uglies' gets 'bloody attractive' girls (Telegraph) Nice!
- Spiegel Interview with Turkish President Gül: 'We're Not in Any Rush to Join the EU'
